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

A once in a lifetime...
A once in a lifetime experience! The whole tour was extremely well organised, despite it being split up into multiple different components! The van was very modern and spacious and the train was unbelievable! I highly recommend upgrading to the Vistadome carriage, the views were amazing! The guide (Roy) was great and very knowledgeable! Machu Picchu exceeded our expectations, what an incredible place!

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!

Magic Mountain
Yo visit The Rainbow Mountain was incredible is about 3 hours from Cusco to another spot where you take cuatrimotos for 25 minutes then you can walk or take a motorcycle or a horse ride the rest is about 10 minutes walk the altitude there is about 5000 feet but is tolerable we really enjoyed and for us it was not the cold, the views are magical due to the minerals they explain our guide Edgar was phenomenal always making sure everybody was ok . This tour provided breakfast and lunch exquisite 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.

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.

Great Hike!
Great experience! Yuri and Justin were excellent guides! Everything was very organized, easy communication for early hotel pick up. It is great to be first on the mountain and get in all the views. Hike was challenging, but doable. Highly recommend also viewing Red Valley too.

An Unforgettable Day at Machu Picchu
We had an amazing day trip to Machu Picchu! Everything was perfectly organized—the transportation was smooth, efficient, and stress-free. Our guide, Veronica, was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and made the experience truly special. The train ride was a highlight on its own, with breathtaking views, great entertainment, and excellent service—special thanks to John for making it so enjoyable. Overall, we are very satisfied and highly recommend this experience!

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.

What an experience!
A brilliant experience - from start to finish. Our only point was the lunch on the first day wasn't the best. But apart from that - it was incredible, the tour guides were so so knowledgeable and the sites were unbelievable - would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone.

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.

Unforgettable experience
It was unbelievable and a memorable experience going up to see the rainbow mountain especially if you are not that physically fit . The rented horse did the 80% of the hike and the remaining 20% you will do it yourself. The tour guide (Ruben) was very helpful and supportive. He explained what is going to happen on the hike and he will motivate you not to give up. Most of all, you will never forget your experience as Ruben took beautiful pictures and video’s of you. 😁Overall, I Highly Recommend this tour. For your preparation, I suggest to do a cardio exercise for your breathing and it will help your climb to high altitude.

It’s no secret that the most famous Cusco day trip is to Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. But Cusco day trips offer many more adventures beyond its star attraction. From the candy-colored slopes of Rainbow Mountain and the terraced ruins of the Sacred Valley, to the turquoise waters of Humantay Lake, Cusco’s surroundings are packed with day trip possibilities. With options to trek, ride a quad bike, or take an air-conditioned bus, day trips take care of everything so you can focus on enjoying the landscapes and ancient wonders of Peru.
