Itinerary

DAY 1

Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley by ATV

The adventure begins very early, when we pick you up directly from your hotel in Cusco. We head south on a journey surrounded by Andean landscapes that wake up with the day.

Our first stop is the picturesque town of Cusipata, where you will enjoy a delicious semi-buffet breakfast, designed to give you energy and comfort before the adventure. Here you will also have a moment to relax, visit a local craft shop, buy snacks or simply enjoy the local atmosphere.

Then we get ready for the best part: the ATV ride. After a short safety briefing of 15 to 20 minutes, we start driving through mountains and rural roads that bring us closer and closer to our goal. The adrenaline and excitement grow with every kilometer.

When we reach the Vinicunca area, we leave the ATVs and take a short 5-minute walk to Rainbow Mountain, one of the most impressive landscapes in Peru. Once at the top, you will have free time to take photos, breathe the pure air of the Andes and admire the incredible natural combination of colors that gives this place its name.

But the experience does not end there! We descend from Rainbow Mountain and continue to an even more surprising place: the Red Valley. A little-explored corner where the landscape turns into a sea of reddish tones and unique formations, with a light 5-minute walk from the parking area. Here you will also have time to enjoy, explore and capture unforgettable photos.

After exploring both destinations, we ride the ATVs back to the starting point.

In Cusipata, a comforting traditional semi-buffet lunch awaits us, with vegetarian options and hot and cold drinks included. And before returning to Cusco, you will still have the chance to buy souvenirs or try local products.

Finally, we return to the city with a heart full of memories and a camera full of unique landscapes: a different experience that combines culture, nature and adventure in a single day.

Come and live the mountain like never before, on four wheels!

Important:

We have departures every day at 3:00 AM and 6:00 AM.
Bookings must be made and paid in advance. ATVs cannot be rented at the parking area.

The Best Way to Explore Perú 🇵🇪

I can’t recommend this agency highly enough! They made our vacation in Peru an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, they stood out for their attentiveness, punctuality, excellent organization, and incredible coordination throughout the entire trip.I would especially like to mention our guide, Will, in Cusco. His professionalism, knowledge, and passion for history made every visit even more fascinating. We were amazed by all the interesting facts he shared about Inca culture, traditions, and the different archaeological sites. Having a guide like him made our experience much more enriching and allowed us to appreciate each place in a completely different way.I would also like to give a special thank you to Tania, Celestino, Jesus, Yusof, and Don Neri in Lima for their kindness, attention, and for making us feel so well taken care of throughout our trip.We traveled from Costa Rica, and we are taking home wonderful memories of Peru. Thank you to the entire team for making sure everything was so well organized and for treating us with such warmth and care.Without a doubt, an excellent agency for exploring Peru. We highly recommend them!Warm regards, Yuliana, from Costa Rica 🇨🇷❤️🇵🇪

Excellent experience

We had an outstanding experience with Taina at Machu Picchu. He was extremely professional, passionate and knowledgeable about Inca history, culture and the site itself. she adjusted the pace perfectly for our group, answered all our questions patiently, and made the whole tour fascinating and memorable. We couldn’t ask for a better guide and highly recommend him to everyone traveling to Machu Picchu.

Exceptional organization and clarity – great value!

Wow, what great service! I’ve been on many tours and few have had the clarity and communication skills that Tania and her team had. From the moment I reached out in interest to the end of the Machu Picchu excursion, Tania was exceptionally clear and helpful, making every step very easy to follow. Planning Machu Picchu on your own is *technically* possible, but it takes a tremendous amount of work to plan with a lot of unknown variables. Booking a tour with Machu Picchu Peru Travel makes it easy for not much more cost, and eases the anxiety of all the unknowns with the complex journey. It is truly a great value for travelers.Now if only I could have Tania organize the rest of life…! :)

Peruvians are extremely helpful, charming and kind and of course hard workers! I felt save walking around even late at night. It was simply magical Regarding tours and attention they were very puntual, organized and everything was on time! I send a huge shout out to the agency and every single guide that help us through our journey!

Highly Recommend! 100% Worth It

Machu Picchu Peru Travel – Super Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu 2D/1N TourI highly recommend booking with Machu Picchu Peru Travel for any of their tours. We did the Super Sacred Valley with Machu Picchu 2D/1N, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish.From the very beginning, their level of communication was top tier. Tania was fantastic, clear, quick, and informative even before we booked. She was patient, guided us through the process, and ensured we got the exact circuit we wanted 2B, making everything completely stress-free and well organised. When we arrived in Cusco, she personally met us at our hotel for a detailed briefing, which showed how much she genuinely cared about our experience and ensuring everything went smoothly.Pickup was always on time, and every effort was made to keep the tour running seamlessly. The Sacred Valley tour itself was very enjoyable, with a fluent English-speaking guide who made everything easy to understand and engaging. Later that evening, we boarded the train to Aguas Calientes, where we were met and guided to our hotel.That evening, our guide Ruth visited us for a briefing, she was humble, warm, and very professional. The next day, she accompanied us from the hotel to the bus and then up to Machu Picchu. Being a private tour made the experience feel very personal and insightful. Ruth shared a wealth of knowledge, took her time explaining everything, and even helped us capture some amazing photos.Overall, this tour was 100% worth it-excellent organisation, outstanding guides, and a truly stress-free way to experience Machu Picchu.

Absolutely Outstanding Experience – Highly Recommended!

We recently completed the 2-Day Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco with Machu Picchu Peru Travel, and it was one of the best-organized and most enjoyable tours we have ever experienced in Peru. From the very first contact to the final goodbye at our hotel, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for our experience. Communication was exceptional right from the start. The team was incredibly responsive on WhatsApp, answering all our questions promptly and patiently, even when we had last-minute requests and changes. Their quick replies gave us complete peace of mind as we planned our trip to Peru. The day before our tour, we received a detailed briefing (via WhatsApp and in person) that clearly explained the entire itinerary, what to expect, what to bring, and all the important timings. It was thorough and reassuring, which helped us feel fully prepared and relaxed. What impressed us most was how flexible and accommodating the team was. We had booked different panoramic train rides and specific circuits for Machu Picchu, and they seamlessly adjusted everything to match our preferences without any hassle. Their ability to handle these details smoothly showed just how experienced and client-focused they are. Our English-speaking tour guides were simply fantastic! They were not only extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and significance of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, but they were also genuinely friendly, patient, and enthusiastic. They went above and beyond by acting as personal photographers for our group—taking beautiful photos from all the best angles and even suggesting creative shots we would never have thought of. Thanks to them, we now have stunning memories captured perfectly. The entire tour ran like clockwork. The transportation was comfortable and safe, the pacing was ideal (never rushed, but never boring), and the contingency plans they had in place for weather, altitude, or any unexpected situations made us feel truly well taken care of. Everything was thought through so we could simply relax and enjoy the magic of the Sacred Valley and the wonder of Machu Picchu. If you’re planning a trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu, I cannot recommend Machu Picchu Peru Travel highly enough. Their attention to detail, excellent communication, flexible approach, and warm, professional guides made our 2-day Sacred Valley tour an unforgettable highlight of our Peru adventure. Thank you to the entire team—you made our dream trip even more special! We will definitely be booking with you again on our next visit to Peru. Highly recommended – 10/10!

✨ Una experiencia inolvidable en Perú
Mi viaje a Perú fue una experiencia increíble, ¡superó todas mis expectativas! ✨ Fueron cinco días llenos de aventuras y paisajes que parecen sacados de un sueño: Machu Picchu, la laguna, la montaña de colores… cada lugar fue simplemente espectacular 😍. Pero lo que realmente hizo la diferencia fue Tania, una persona súper atenta, pendiente de cada detalle y de todas nuestras necesidades. Gracias a ella, todo fue perfecto, sin preocupaciones y con una atención de primera. 🌄💖 Sin duda, un tour 1000% recomendado — una experiencia que jamás olvidaré. 🙌🇵🇪

Andreea Paun

We took the one-day tour to Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain. Although there was a small misunderstanding regarding the language of the tour, the team immediately resolved the issue, and we were assigned to another guide—an exceptional one. We really appreciated his attention to detail, the fact that he didn’t rush us throughout the tour, and that we had plenty of time to explore, take photos, and learn valuable information about the Incas and the history of Machu Picchu.

The tour to Rainbow Mountain was also excellent. I loved that the guide accompanied us to the Red Valley, even though this part of the tour was optional, and only five of us chose to do it that day. The tour included a varied and delicious breakfast and lunch, transportation, and a guide.

Overall, Machu Picchu Peru Travel was prompt, provided us with all the information we needed, and offered assistance both during and outside the tours. Communication was efficient, and the prices were fair. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

We had an excellent experience on our 2-day Machu Picchu tour and would highly recommend this company.

A special thank you to Tania, who was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. She was incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful from the moment we started planning our trip. We had a few changes and requests along the way, and Tania was always accommodating, making sure everything was organized perfectly and that our itinerary would work smoothly. Her communication was excellent, and she gave us confidence that everything was under control.

All of our transportation, train tickets, and logistics were arranged flawlessly, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any stress.

Our guide at Machu Picchu was also wonderful. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history of the site.

Thank you to Tania and the entire team for making our Machu Picchu experience so memorable!

Siempre estuvo pendiente de nuestras dudas y nos brindó soluciones rápidas y eficaces.
Gracias a su apoyo, todo salió perfecto y superó nuestras expectativas.
Sin duda recomendamos a Tania y a la agencia al 100% por su excelente servicio.”

Spyros

What an experience! We did all our excursions with this agency and it was the best possible choice we could make.

Our organizer Tania was in contact with us a few weeks before we even arrived in Cusco. She made us a proper itenary starting with Machu Picchu (lower elevation than cusco), then Sacred valley tour and Rainbow mountain last.
Every day she was giving us extra information and making sure our schedule was up to date!

Also our guide Leni in the sacred Valley tour was the best we had in South America, many thanks to him as well!

We had a great time and plenty of experiences.
Thank you Tania (and the agency) for everything you have done for us!!

Jaime Garcia de la Riva

Una gran agencia que nos ha ayudado a organizar todo el viaje a Peru! Accesibles, ágiles y muy accesibles. Muy recomendables!

Riccardo 3

We had the pleasure of having this tour in the last week and can only say positive things about the organisation provided by the agency. The tour is well organised and gives you plenty of days to acclimatise with the high altitude in Peru. I would strongly recommend this option if you’re looking for a holiday week to see the best of this incredible country!

Recomendadísimo, estuve en Perú sola por 7 días y adquirí todos mis toures con ellos, las experiencias todas fueron 10/10, una excelente atención las 24 horas.

I dreamed of going to Rainbow Mountain from the moment I first saw photos of it. As someone who usually prefers planning every detail of my own trips, realizing how overwhelming and way more costly this journey would be on my own was tough. I dug deep into social media to find the right agency, sent a WhatsApp message late one night to Machu Picchu Tours, and that’s when my friendship with Tania began.

I asked endless questions, and Tania gave us absolute white-glove treatment. From the second we landed in Cusco until the moment we departed, not a single detail was missed or overlooked. Our guides were incredible—deeply knowledgeable, immensely proud of their Incan heritage, and so passionate about sharing it that their energy was palpable.

Our Sacred Valley tour served as the perfect bridge, giving us the history and context we needed to truly appreciate Machu Picchu. Though Rainbow Mountain was my original focus, our excursion to Machu Picchu was world-class—with a special shoutout to Leo, whose guidance made it unforgettable. Ending our journey with the climb to Humantay Lake was both a physical challenge and a priceless gift. Pushing ourselves to reach the summit was the most rewarding way we could have ever closed out our time in Cusco.

What blew me away even more was how Tania handled the unexpected. When bad weather caused our flight to Lima to be canceled, she stepped in like a total pro. Within a matter of moments, she rearranged our flights, secured us a hotel, and organized our transportation for an unexpected extra night stay. She turned what could have been an overwhelming situation into a stress-free extra day of memories by taking care of everything seamlessly.

Machu Picchu Tours made my Cusco experience far more than I could have ever planned, dreamed of, or imagined. I actually left Cusco shedding tears because my heart simply wasn't ready to end such an incredible journey.
If traveling to Peru or South America is on your bucket list, work with the team at Machu Picchu Tours. They won't just make a dream come true—they will give you an experience you will talk about for the rest of your life.

Rainbow Mountain sits at approximately 5,200 meters (17,060 feet). To prevent altitude sickness, spend a few days acclimatizing in Cusco or the Sacred Valley before the tour.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during the hike to maintain hydration levels and reduce the risk of altitude sickness.

Start Early

Begin your trek early in the morning to take advantage of cooler temperatures and to avoid the midday sun.

How to Dress

Layered Clothing

Wear multiple layers to adjust to temperature changes throughout the day. A typical layering system includes:

Base Layer: Moisture-wicking materials like synthetic fabrics or merino wool.
Middle Layer: Insulating layer such as a fleece or down jacket.
Outer Layer: Waterproof and windproof jacket to protect against the elements.

Footwear

Sturdy, waterproof hiking boots with good ankle support are essential for navigating uneven and rocky trails.

Accessories

Don’t forget a hat, gloves, and a buff or scarf to protect against wind and cold temperatures.

Restrictions

Health Restrictions

Individuals with severe heart or respiratory conditions should consult a doctor before attempting the trek due to the high altitude.

Permits and Regulations

Ensure you have the necessary permits for visiting Rainbow Mountain. Typically, these are arranged by the tour operator.

Environmental Protection

Respect the natural environment by not leaving any trash behind and staying on designated trails to preserve the delicate ecosystem.

Physical Preparation

Cardiovascular Training

Engage in regular cardio exercises such as running, cycling, or swimming to build endurance for the trek.

Strength Training

Focus on leg strength with exercises like squats, lunges, and step-ups to handle the steep and uneven terrain.

Hiking Practice

Simulate the trekking conditions by hiking on varied terrain with a weighted backpack to prepare your body for the actual tour.

Health Recommendations

Altitude Sickness Prevention

To minimize the risk of altitude sickness:

Ascend gradually and allow time for acclimatization.
Avoid alcohol and smoking before and during the trek.
Consider taking medications like acetazolamide after consulting a healthcare provider.

First Aid Kit

Carry a basic first aid kit including bandages, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and any personal medications.

Stay Informed

Be aware of the symptoms of altitude sickness, such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. If you experience severe symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
