The desert is actually divided into two very different zones. Cusco or the red section is exactly that. Incredible panoramas of red mixed with desert vegetation. The trails in Cusco are (relatively) easy to follow and can be done without a guide. This section is also closest to Villavieja.
Los Hoyas and Valle de Los Xilópalos are separate and covered in the next post.
The photos below are of various parts of Cusco. In the last photo, you can see the type of trails crossing through the section. The number of trails make it a little difficult to follow, but usually you can see a structure on the main road which will give you your bearings.
