We did the tour to the Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley on an ATV, and it was a spectacular experience from start to finish. Everything was very well organized, and the landscapes are simply stunning. I want to especially highlight our guide Ysmael, who made a great difference throughout the experience: always attentive, kind, and ensuring that we were all comfortable and enjoying the tour. Additionally, he had a lot of patience and helped us make the most of every moment and every view. The experience on the quad bike added a unique touch of adventure, and the Red Valley was truly incredible. The professionalism and dedication of the entire team is evident. I would definitely recommend this agency to anyone who wants to experience an unforgettable adventure in Cusco. Thank you very much, Ysmael, for making this experience so special!
¡Gracias por compartir tu experiencia, Armando! 😊 Nos da mucha alegría saber que viviste una aventura espectacular en cuatrimoto y que pudiste disfrutar de los impresionantes paisajes de la Montaña de 7 Colores y el Valle Rojo. Nos esforzamos siempre por brindar un servicio de calidad, con guías atentos y experiencias bien organizadas, así que tus palabras nos motivan mucho a seguir mejorando. También le haremos llegar tu mensaje al guía Ysmael, quien estará muy contento de saber que hizo una diferencia en tu viaje. ¡Te esperamos en una próxima visita a Cusco!
Taking a tourist bus to the Rainbow Mountains does a massive disservice to the jaw-dropping landscape around Vinicunca. Having the ability to ride up the mountain via ATV meant you got to see firsthand all aspects of the landscape. Erick, our guide, made the experience safe and explained all facets of the activity during the day. My only critique would be having more frequent stops along the way up and down to take scenic photos with the ATVs.
¡Muchas gracias por elegirnos, Marina! 😊 Nos encanta saber que disfrutaste del recorrido y de las impresionantes vistas que ofrece Vinicunca. Erick estará muy feliz de saber que su atención y sus explicaciones hicieron la diferencia en tu experiencia. Gracias también por tu recomendación sobre las paradas para fotografías; valoramos mucho este tipo de comentarios porque nos ayudan a ofrecer un mejor servicio. ¡Hasta la próxima aventura en Cusco!
Our Rainbow mountain ATV tour was the perfect mixture of adrenaline, exercise and awe. Tour starts early - 3.30 am start. A tourist bus takes you to the ATV base. Quick lesson and then off. Takes about 1 hour to get to the bottom of RM and then you can either walk, jump on the back of a motorcycle or get led up on horseback. Local guides are literally running up and down the mountain leading horses. We elected to walk. The altitude turned a quick hike into something much harder but our amazing guide, Grimaldo, coaxed and encouraged us every step, while taking photos constantly. It was such a buzz to make it. Thanks everyone for making it happen.
¡Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia con nosotros! 😊 Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de la aventura en quad y del impresionante recorrido hacia la Montaña de Colores. También nos llena de orgullo saber que Grimaldo estuvo a tu lado en cada paso, motivándote y haciendo que el recorrido fuera aún más especial. ¡Esperamos recibirte nuevamente para descubrir otra maravilla de Cusco!
Everything was perfect, according to the itinerary. Jorge helped us with everything and was always attentive to us. An excellent option to see Rainbow Mountain without much effort.
¡Muchas gracias por su comentario! Nos alegra enormemente saber que disfrutó del tour y que todo se desarrolló según lo planificado. Jorge estará muy feliz de saber que su atención y dedicación hicieron que su experiencia fuera aún más especial. La ruta en cuatrimotos es una excelente alternativa para disfrutar de la impresionante Montaña de Colores y el Valle Rojo de una manera más cómoda. Esperamos volver a recibirlos muy pronto para seguir descubriendo juntos las maravillas de Perú. ¡Hasta la próxima! 😊
The entire tour was perfect, from communication the day before, pickup, breakfast and lunch, but the highlight was our tour guide Grimaldo. He is very conscious, caring, knowledgeable and most importantly very friendly and personable. Grimaldo made the day extra special. I highly recommend this company and Grimaldo. Congratulations on the care that you put into your profession! Furte abrazo Grimaldo.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you had such an amazing day and that Grimaldo helped make the tour unforgettable. Our team always does its best to provide a safe, friendly, and memorable experience for every traveler. We hope to welcome you back soon!
One of the best experiences to have in Cusco. Grimaldo, our guide, made sure we were safe, enjoyed the trip, and learned about the importance of the mountain and everything surrounding it. I would do it again a thousand times. Highly recommended.
¡Qué gusto leer su comentario! Nos llena de alegría saber que disfrutaron cada momento del recorrido y que pudieron conectar con la belleza, historia y significado de la montaña junto a Grimaldo. Nuestro objetivo es que cada viajero viva una experiencia segura, auténtica e inolvidable, y saber que logramos ser parte de recuerdos tan especiales nos motiva muchísimo. Gracias por confiar en nosotros, por recomendarnos y por elegir descubrir la magia de Cusco a nuestro lado. ¡Esperamos volver a acompañarlos muy pronto en una nueva aventura!
Excellent experience and support from the guide (Wilfredo). Totally recommended! They provide helmets for driving the ATVs and clear explanations. The adventure was very entertaining. The food is also highly recommended!

La seguridad y la atención personalizada son muy importantes para nosotros, por eso siempre brindamos una pequeña inducción antes de iniciar la aventura. ¡Esperamos recibirlos nuevamente muy pronto para otra gran aventura!
We rode with Ysmael as our tour guide and Reuben as our driver. We booked a private tour, they were very accommodating about picking us up at a time of our choosing. Ysmael was a very patient tour guide, answering all of our questions and he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Overall the ATV tour was a ton of fun and we would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to go to Vinicunca (Rainbow Mountain). Don’t forget your sunscreen or gloves.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed the ATV tour to Vinicunca and that Ysmael’s friendliness and knowledge made the trip even more special. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to see you again on another adventure!
We did a private tour through X Travel Peru. Our guide, Jose Jose, was fantastic! Everything, from the pickup, to the ATV tour, to hiking the mountain, was smooth and well worth it. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Cusco.
Thank you so much for your feedback! We're delighted you had a wonderful experience on our private tour and that our team provided you with excellent service. We look forward to welcoming you back to Cusco to continue planning your trip safely and reliably.
