Take the 8.30 option
Great experience we were very fortunate with the weather and scenery is amazing. Taking the 830 am option meant we missed all other groups and were the only people on the mountain. Guide was excellent and very helpful. I certainly recommend the ATV option as it’s just a short walk to mountain and it was a fun experience driving them.

Rainbow Mountain a must do.
What an amazing day. Camila our tour guide was very helpful and knowledgeable about the history of Peru. She was very personal as well. Freddy the driver was very patient with us and drove the van in a very safe manner. Great team work.

Terrible Pickup Process, Needs Improvement
Rainbow Mountain itself is absolutely beautiful, and we did enjoy the ATV portion of the tour. My main issue was with how unorganized and unprofessional the pickup process felt.
Our pickup address had been confirmed the night before, but no one arrived during the scheduled window. We were then told to take a taxi at our own expense to another pickup point. What really bothered me was that only about 15 minutes after telling us to take a taxi, the driver was already rushing us and questioning why we were not there yet.
We had to wait for the taxi to arrive, and while we were on the way, the pickup location changed again. At that point, it felt unfair and very unprofessional. You cannot tell guests at the last minute to arrange their own transportation, then rush them and change the meeting point again while they are already trying to get there.
Because of all of this, the beginning of the tour was stressful, and our time at Rainbow Mountain also felt very rushed, which was disappointing since that was the main reason we booked the experience.

quad and hike
Great fun taking the quad most of the way to Rainbow mountain then a steep but short hike to the top. The view is amazing. Go early to avoid the crowds!

Rainbow Mt ATV Day Trip
We had the best day on this tour! We were picked up from our hotel in Cusco at 6:30 am and traveled by van to the Rainbow Mt car park. On the trip to and from Cusco, we stopped at a great restaurant and were served breakfast and lunch. Once we arrived at the car park, we drove ATVs about 35ish minutes up the mountains. The views were absolutely incredible! You leave your ATV and hike the short hike to the vista point. We took pictures with ‘sexy’ llamas and alpacas—our guide joked that they were called that because of their cute sunglasses. You can also pay 5 sols to take pictures standing on the hands with great views of the mountains. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested!

Great experience! The quad bikes added a fun twist to the trip, and seeing Rainbow Mountain in person was even better than expected. Definitely worth doing.

Great tour!
Long bus ride but totally worth it. Got there before the crowds showed up, and had plenty of time on the mountain. Highly recommend!

Real Rainbow Mountain versus Palccoyo
As advertised, fantastic experience, with long bumpy van rides. We picked a day in August with great weather and minimum high clouds.
Don’t be fooled into picking a tour that goes to Palccoyo instead.

Be ready to wake up...
Be ready to wake up early. It's actually worth it so you avoid the larger crowds. Also, make sure you've had time to acclimate to the altitude before you go on this tour. We returned to Cusco from Machu Picchu the day before, and while in Cusco still got a slight annoying headache. I saw a few people throwing up. It can be a lot, so just prepare yourself. We had a great experience!

Rainbow Mtn by ATV … the Best!
This was a really early start (and I doubted, at first this decision) However, it was the best decision! Pickup at our hotel was around 3am but we slept a bit in the van. After the stops to pick up up passengers, we journeyed a few hours where stopped for breakfast. Then we headed one more hour to the base camp of the ATVs. The sun was dawning and it was cold. Bring hats, gloves and a winter coat . We were outfitted with the atv and headed to Rainbow Mtn. - so much Fun! About 20 minute ride . At Rainow Mtn, we were given some time to walk around to the different pictures sights &just take it in. I will say there were no crowds at this time so it was very serene. Perfect blue skies graced our day.
After our Atv back (again so much fun and better than walking) we boarded the van and stopped for lunch at the same place for breakfast. A little bumper to lumper traffic back into Cusco slowed us down a little. But I must say that arriving back in the early afternoon gave us the whole day to keep exploring Cusco :)
This was a great excursion and highly recommend if the early departure isn’t a factor. It was awesome to see Rainbow Mtn before all the crowds showed up and it was a wonderful sight to see and experience.
