In about 25 minutes, we ascend along scenic routes to reach the summit of Rainbow Mountain, where you’ll have time to explore, enjoy the landscape, and take photos of the vibrant colors of the surroundings.

This was such a wonderful experience! After hiking the Inca trail, my husband I really a the fact that we were able to take the ATVs and motorcycle ride instead of hiking again. This was the highest altitude we experienced and we could definitely feel it. We didn’t have any symptoms of altitude sickness, but Rainbow mountain is literally breathtaking. The beauty of it (and the high altitude) take your breath away. The colors of the mountain were absolutely gorgeous. The area was a little crowded, but we were still able to get good photos. We loved the funny alpacas wearing sunglasses. If you want to see Rainbow mountain without the exertion of hiking, this is definitely the way to go! The ATVs and helmets were in good shape. I was a little bit nervous about riding on the back of a motorcycle up to the top, but the drivers of the motorcycles are very experienced and it ended up being a lot of fun. Driving the ATV through the Red Valley was interesting and beautiful. We really enjoyed this tour.
The guides were amazing I got sick with altitude sickness and didn’t realize it and he made sure I got medical attention and oxygen. Took great pictures of all of us and were super friendly and helpful. The atv ride was gorgeous probably even better than the actual mountain. Only real compliant was the food was quite poor but eveything else was amazing
Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and felt well taken care of by our guides—they truly work hard to make every guest feel safe and supported, especially with altitude sickness. Regarding the food, we sincerely appreciate your honesty. Since the tour operates in a remote area, options can sometimes be more basic than we’d like, but we’re already exploring ways to improve this part of the experience without sacrificing safety and logistics. Your comment helps us prioritize this even more. Thank you again for trusting us!
The tour is amazing!!!We had perfect weather and the views are incredible, far exceeded our expectations. Both George and Rogelio are very nice and helpful. The tour itinerary is well planned. We got there before the crowds and with morning sunlights, perfect for pictures. The ATV rides are very fun, my kids loved it so much! Bring your puffer jackets and gloves, it’s cold up in the mountains. The buffet breakfast and lunch are good, with warm options, perfect for the cold weather. Although I wish they included red valley in the itinerary, but I understand it may be physically challenging for some people. Overall, 10 out of 10, highly recommended!
Jin; Thank you so much! We’re really happy you and your family had a great time — especially that the kids loved the ATVs! George and Rogelio will be glad to hear your kind words. And yes, those early views are totally worth it! Thanks for the tip about jackets — the mountains don’t forgive!
Wear mountain-friendly shoes, be warm and enjoy yourself very much. Great guides, amazing food and scenery.
Diana Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaron de las visitas, la seguridad del viaje, la buena comida y sobre todo, que se divirtieron explorando con nosotros. Nos esforzamos mucho para ofrecer experiencias memorables
Rogelio made the experience incredible and was very thoughtful in his desire to ensure we thoroughly enjoyed the day. The ATV and motorcycle rides to the top greatly enhanced our ability to enjoy rainbow mountain and the surrounding Andes.
Rayan, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that Rogelio made your experience exceptional and that the ATV and motorcycle rides enhanced your visit to Rainbow Mountain and the beautiful Andes. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another adventure!
This is the best choice to go up Rainbow Mountain if you are not used to hiking up mountains or the high altitude. Rogelio was an absolutely amazing guide! He was super knowledgeable and friendly. He was constantly checking us to see if we were okay. Safety was his number one concern, with fun being next! My daughter got sick at the top of the mountain and Rogelio didn't leave her side. He gave her oxygen and held her hand on the walk down. Definitely book this tour if you want to visit Rainbow Mountain safely and with a fun guide!
Wow, thank you so much Randolph for sharing your incredible experience on our Rainbow Mountain Deluxe Tour! We're thrilled to hear that Rogelio's expert guidance and care made all the difference for you and your daughter. We're proud of Our guide's dedication to safety and customer satisfaction. His actions are a testament to our company's values and commitment to exceptional service. Sorry to hear that your daughter didn't feel well at the top, but we're grateful that Rogelio was there to provide support and care. We're glad you both felt safe and enjoyed the tour despite the challenges.
Awesome end result but miserable trip. I never saw in description that one way is 4 hours… the last on terrible dirt road winding up horrible switchback mountain road with no room to let oncoming traffic pass. The atv ride was fine for us as we have spent 30 years using them, but some of the group had zero experience on a narrow atv trail with potential for broken bones or death in many steep places. I would not be surprised in the future if they either ban atvs or require safer paths. And the goat path van route… We found out that a few weeks ago a van went over the dirt road and down the cliff with fatalities and injuries. I loved the view of the mountain but I would not go back if I knew then what I know now.
Thank You Timmy for taking your Time to write a review for us , Actually, the trip to arrive Untill the end of the Road to the Rainbow mountain its 3:30 hours, 2 Hours hightway and 1:30 hours throught dirt road, which its the path which 1000 visitors by day take the route to get to the rainbow Mountain. According The ATVs Experience, the tour its designed to easy arrive untill the mountain altought the path its short there isnt any cliffs , and the driving time its 15 minuted only and to everyone we highly recomend to go with our guides if they dont feel sure to do this, ATVs are adventure activity, like car if you are not sure to drive we will gladly drive you untill the mountain to make you enjoy the views of the Peruvian Landscapes. And in the future we also will be happy to have an highway untill this Beautifull Atraction , Thank you for everything !
Esta experiencia fue inolvidable, nuestro guia, Rogelio, fue excelente! La montaña fue increible de ver! Desde un principio me mando mensaje para coordinar la hora de recogernos. Fuimos un grupo de 14 personas, incluyendo a 4 niños arriba de 10 años. Rogelio respondio toda nuestras preguntas y nos recomendo varias cosas para alivar el cambio de altura. Se nota que le gusta su trabajo, es un experto en todo sentido. El restaurante del desayuno y almuerzo fue increible! Gente muy amable e calurosa. Haria esta visita otra vez! Muchisimas gracias por la atencion Rogelio, y por responder todas nuestras preguntas. This experience was unforgettable, our guide, Rogelio, was excellent! Climbing to the top of the viewing area was unforgettable. A must see if you're in the Cusco area. From the start of the day, he sent me a message to coordinate the time to pick us up. We were a group of 14 people, including 4 children over 10 years old. Rogelio answered all our questions and recommended several things to alleviate the change in height. It is obvious that Rogelio likes his job, he is an expert in every sense. The restaurant for breakfast and lunch was incredible! Very friendly and warm people. I would do this tour again! Thank you very much for your attention Rogelio, and for answering all our questions.
Hola, Patricia Gracias por dejarnos un comentario tan impresionante. Significa mucho para nosotros y nuestro Guia Rogelio. La próxima vez que vengas a Cusco - Peru , no dudes en preguntar por él que estará encantado de volver a verte. Muchas Gracias por elegirnos y esperamos verte pronto!!!
The tour was a success!! We left early, had breakfast, took the trip to the colorful mountain on quad bikes. Luís is a very charismatic and careful guide, he explained to us about the mountain, took photos and kept us safe. Then we returned for a very tasty lunch. The mountain place is very beautiful and special, with very high mountains and beautiful views.
Muito obrigado Mariana por nos escolher para sua experiência, muito feliz por ter lhe deixado uma bela experiência durante sua viagem a Cusco - Peru e claro nesta elegante opção de descobrir a montanha de cores com quadriciclos.
