This experience was fantastic! It’s a bumpy ride along the way, but definitely worth it. Be prepared to get dirty! Samuel was amazing. He made the hike enjoyable and really fun!
An amazing experience from start to finish. The hotel pickup was exactly on time as promised, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout the day. The ATV ride was fantastic—lots of fun, exciting, and a great way to enjoy the spectacular scenery. The breakfast and lunch provided were both very good and exceeded expectations. Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley are absolutely stunning, and this tour made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The tour is amazing, the best tour I’ve made in Peru. The guide is also amazing, always aware of how you are feeling and interested in your well-being. Definitely recommend!
The ATV’s are high quality and fun to ride. They let you drive around to get a feel for the ATV before starting the drive up the mountain. This takes off all hiking to Rainbow Mountain besides the last mile and you can take your time doing this walk. It’s dusty so prepare for that and bring a mask.
This tour was a fun experience overall. Our guide was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable throughout the day. The breakfast and lunch were decent, but if you have picky eaters, I would recommend bringing some snacks. The ATVs were easy to operate and worked well for the terrain. I would suggest drivers be at least 15 years old, as younger children may not be comfortable handling them. There are no guardrails, or safety measures along the road. One thing to be aware of is that the ATV ride does not take you all the way to Rainbow Mountain. You go through Red Valley. There is still a significant hike after leaving the ATVs, so be prepared for that portion of the journey. Also, the altitude is no joke. Take time to acclimate if possible, and consider bringing any recommended medications or using coca leaves to help with the effects. Despite the challenges of the altitude, we had a great time and are glad we did it. The views are absolutely breathtaking and made the experience well worth it.
Waiting in morning over an hour since 4:10 am in cold no ride showed up and sent a message to operator and no response Bad business
Good afternoon, We are sorry for what happened. We have reviewed our records and did not receive any message in our email inbox. Our team is known for providing punctual, reliable, and high-quality service, always committed to offering the best experience to our passengers. Thank you for your understanding, and please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.
I was beyond nervous to do this tour because of the altitude. But José the tour guide was so accommodating and funny that all of that nervousness disappeared! The tour was very well organized, and Jose messaged us the day before with things to make sure we pack. I also needed to be dropped off directly at the airport and that was not a problem coordinating. Jose had a lot of personality and made everyone feel very welcome. He was also very aware of people in their different abilities, especially with the altitude. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone else seeking to explore rainbow Mountain in the red valley on ATVs! Also a major bonus was Jose took photos of us on the ATVs and sent them to us promptly after via WhatsApp. Fun surprise!
You leave pretty early by the time everyone was picked up was about 4.30am. There’s a stop for breakfast and then back to the same place for lunch later. The ATVs were a very enjoyable way of doing rainbow mountain, there is a small hike after that and you’re in the Red Valley. They also had the option to take a horse if you wanted. It’s just another small uphill walk until you’re on rainbow mountain where you have plenty of time to take pictures before coming back. It’s a long day getting back to Cusco about 4.30pm. The guide and driver we had were very enthusiastic and made the day really enjoyable!
One of the best tours I've ever had; the scenery is just gorgeous, and the tour guide (Samuel) was super kind and helpful from start to finish. The early wake-up is worth it every time to be one of the first groups at the mountain. Bring your gear ready, as you'll need it for being so early in the morning. The breakfast and lunch were good, in a nice place with an Alpaca pet at their door. The ATVs worked great, and the journey to the top is spectacular. The altitude was not a problem at all for any of the people in my group; we just went at different paces but made it to the top with no major problem. The driver was good, which is needed as the streets get narrow and turn into dirt roads, so I understand if some people have complained about drivers going too fast or dangerously, but it's a gamble as we can't choose the driver and there are so many tours going every day. Overall, I recommend doing this trip on a heartbeat as an incredible and enjoyable experience all around. Going with family, friends, or solo, it will be something that you will never forget.
An amazing and unforgettable experience! Our tour guide, Jose, was fantastic and helped us every step of the way. We also made great friends during our visit to Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley. The scenery was breathtaking, and the whole journey was truly worth it!
