Busy fun day!

Early morning, and long day…. But best way to experience rainbow mountain. ATVs were really fun and easy to ride. Plus saved a lot of energy riding them, and got to see the red valley. The tour guides were great! Great communication! Easy pick up and drop off! And food was better than expected. Only caveat is that there is still an hour hike, so if you are easily affected by high elevation or aren’t in the best shape, rainbow mountain in general is not for you

Amazing!!

We had such an amazing experience on this tour! Wally was a wonderful guide, very kind and attentive, and he made the whole day enjoyable. Everything was well organized, with timely pickup and drop-off. The hike itself was absolutely stunning, and we got really lucky with perfect weather, which made the experience even better. You also have the option to take a horse up the mountain if you are unsure about the hike. We chose to ride up just for the experience, and it was incredible. It is such a unique way to take in the Andes. At the top, Wally gave us plenty of time to take photos and even pointed out the best spots for pictures. Afterward, we did a short meditation to connect with nature, which was a really special touch. We were also lucky enough to see condors and even a rainbow, which made the day feel extra magical. Breakfast and lunch were at a restaurant with an amazing view, which was another highlight. Overall, it was an unforgettable day with a fantastic guide. Highly recommend!

Roy was great. Very attentive.

Roy was great. He was very attentive. I'd never been on an ATV before, and we were provided instructions and time to practice. On the ride up we passed lama, alpacas, and lakes. The colors on the mountains were beautiful. *Roy's name is longer in Spanish, but he said we could call him Roy.

Machu Picchu Full Day from Cusco by Panoramic Train

Bartosz_S, Apr 2026

Great trip

Generally, I prefer to travel independently, but due to the lack of available tickets, I decided to take advantage of this offer. Everything went smoothly and without any issues. The organization was excellent, and everything was very easy to navigate. Each stage of the journey was clearly explained, and there was never any difficulty in finding the person responsible for the group. Special recognition goes to our guide, Roy — he was engaged, charismatic, and also took some great photos of us. The trip itself is, of course, quite demanding, as part of the route runs along a road in very poor condition, but it is absolutely worth the effort.

Fantastic Day and Good Food

It was a jam-packed day with 8 stops. The trip was great, and I saw most of the Inca places I wanted to see in one day. Only comment is that it would have been nice to have another 30 minutes at Sacred Valley, otherwise I have nothing to complain. Highly recommended. The tour guide Abel was awesome.

A Must-Do Rainbow Mountain Tour—Well-Run and Unforgettable

This tour is an excellent and well-organized way to visit Rainbow Mountain in a single day. The guide is knowledgeable, patient, and very supportive—especially during the challenging high-altitude trek. The experience itself is described as breathtaking and unforgettable, with Rainbow Mountain being a true highlight of any Peru trip. The small group size also helps make the tour feel more personal and manageable. That said, it’s important to note that the hike can be physically demanding due to the altitude, so a reasonable level of fitness and proper acclimatization are recommended. The meals provided are convenient, but there is room for improvement in terms of quality and variety. Overall, this is a highly rated and well-run tour that offers great value and an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience at Rainbow Mountain.

Best rainbow mountain tour

Really great tour. So nice to be at the top without the crowds. The whole trip was very well organized. I have a guiding business myself so I am very critical. I especially liked the warm towels and tea and blankets after we finished our trek. Elisvan and Alex were great.

The perfect afternoon

With an outstanding guide leading the way, the breathtaking scenery unfolded majestically, and riding tandem on the ATV, I felt invigorated by the adventure and captivated by the opportunity to document our journey. The archaeological sites stood as a testament to the ingenuity of the Incas' sophisticated agricultural practices, making it an unmissable destination for anyone passionate about history and ancient cultures.

Mike_K, Mar 2026

ATV is the way to go!

It was everything promised! Picked up at our Hotel at 4AM by car service and dropped off to a comfortable 15 passenger bus and we were off! Breakfast first then the Mountain! The ATV’s were easy to operate and the best way to get up there. Then we stopped for lunch and were back by 4PM. ANGIE was our guide and spoke both English and Spanish. She takes people up to Rainbow Mountain every day and she was amazing! This was a great experience!
