Description

Your adventure begins with a drive from Villavieja to the impressive Tatacoa Desert. First, you will explore the red zone, known as the Labyrinths of Cuzco, where you will walk among red clay canyons, formations sculpted by wind and water, and cacti that defy the dry landscape. Then, you will move on to the gray sector, called Los Hoyos, where the terrain transforms into a lunar landscape, with deep cracks and unique eroded figures. Throughout the tour, your tour guide will share stories about the formation of the desert, its hidden biodiversity, and its past as a seabed. You will make stops for photos, learn about fossils, and have time to contemplate the silence and immensity of the place. The experience ends with the return to Villavieja, filled with images and sensations that will stay with you for a long time.
