Tour Details
Visit the unbelievable Red River in Cusco, located near Palcoyo Rainbow Mountain. Discover one of Peru’s most beautiful landscapes for yourself.
Known locally as Pukamayu (in Quechua, “puka” red ores and “mayu” means river) or Antachaka (Quechua “anta” is copper, while “chaka” is a bridge), this is a river that is in the province of Canchis of the Cusco region, which is about 3 hours by bus southeast of the city of Cusco, near the route of Vinicunca of the Rainbow Mountain.
Located in Palcoyo at about 5000 meters altitude, very close to the famous Rainbow Mountain.
The Palcoyo rainbow mountain valley along with the famous Vinicunca rainbow mountain is part of the Vilcanota mountain range. This chain is itself part of the magnificent Andes mountain range that appears to be the backbone of South America, forming the longest continental mountain range in the world.

View so much better than we expected. The trip was made more interesting with the history of the Incas & Peru in general. Food and customs was explained in details for a better understanding of the culture of the Peruvian, especially the Incas. The heat was bearable once we were in the Valley & the higher altitude of Machu Pichu. The train ride was an experience and seeing how small gathering of people living the way they do beside the track is remarkable. Very rewarding trip.
