We’ll pick you up early from your hotel and drive south toward the Cusipata District, located in the Quispicanchi province. Along the way, we’ll stop briefly in town to pick up any last-minute supplies like water, snacks, or energy drinks. As we continue the drive, you’ll begin to see the changing scenery—snow-capped peaks, colorful farmland, and native Andean animals such as llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas dotting the landscape.
Our first main stop will be in the village of Chirihuani, where you’ll enjoy a warm Andean breakfast. From there, we’ll continue by vehicle to the starting point of our hike. The trail takes us through beautiful highland scenery for about an hour and a half, gradually climbing toward the Red Valley—a stunning landscape known for its vivid colors and otherworldly terrain. Along the way, you’ll see how the shifting light brings out different hues in the surrounding mountains.
Once we reach the summit—at about 5,200 meters above sea level—you’ll have time to take in the incredible panoramic views, capture photos, and appreciate the peaceful beauty of this mystical landscape. After enjoying the scenery, we’ll descend the same trail and return by vehicle to a nearby town where we will enjoy a well-earned buffet lunch. After some time to relax and enjoy the meal, we’ll head back to Cusco, arriving in the late afternoon.

My husband and I had an incredible time at Palcoyo Mountain with Juan and visiting a Quechua family. Gisela provided excellent service from the start. Highly recommend!
I booked this tour with some apprehension, not knowing what to expect in a foreign country. I had nothing to worry about. Michael does an exceptional job. I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Cusco Native.
Don't Hesitate - Book with Cusco Native! We had a trip of a lifetime. Cusco Native didn't disappoint, with informative guides, excellent organization, lovely hotels, and great meals. Michael was a fabulous tour organizer, and Rumi was exceptional with the information he shared.
This was the trip of a lifetime. I will spend the rest of my life trying to top this experience. Everyone should go to Peru at least once and everyone should book their tour with Cusco Native.
