Rainbow Mountains
The tour starts very early in the morning around 3 am. But it was definitely worth it. We reached the viewpoints before the big waves of tourists and had plenty of time for quiet photo shoots at one of the most impressive places in the world. The food included in the price was also very good. Our tour guide Yuri was funny and very caring, which was very pleasant at that altitude. Overall a unique and highly recommended tour!

7-color Mountain
The experience visiting the 7-color Mountain was very good, we used the ATVs and walked the rest. Even if you are in good physical condition, remember that because of the altitude you must go calmly and you may experience fatigue and it is very cold, come with appropriate clothing. Other than that it was an excellent experience. I was able to see the Mountain with its 7 colors and not with snow. Its landscapes are beautiful!!

We had a...
We had a wonderful day with Elis and Alex. The drive to the Rainbow Mountain and the hike there are beautiful due to the landscape. Starting at 8 a.m. is very pleasant, and there are actually very few people up there. The small group size was also great. Alex is a very good driver and Elis is a very nice guide who takes great pleasure in his work and is very concerned that everyone enjoys the tour and has a good time. The path to the Rainbow Mountain is really strenuous, but Elis always ensured a good mood. He let us go at our own pace and take as many breaks as necessary, and he kept checking on our well-being. In addition, he kept offering to take photos of all participants in front of various backgrounds in different settings and poses, so that one has many beautiful souvenir photos. The food in the restaurant is also very good. We particularly liked that, unlike many other tours, it is not a buffet restaurant. We can warmly recommend the "late" tour to Rainbow Mountain with this provider, and especially with Alex and Elis, to everyone, as it is well-organized from start to finish and is a lot of fun.

The beautiful lagoon
Very good experience, the lagoon is beautiful and the hike is hard, but doable. Our guide Wilbert was very kind. The only thing that can improve is the vehicle, the minibus was not in optimal condition, for such a long trip this point is very important.

Unmissable trip
I did the tour of Chinchero, Moray, and Salinas de Maras. The agency's service was impeccable. They came to pick us up at the agreed time. Guide Ricardo was very helpful and gave us valuable explanations about each place we visited. It was an incredible experience. I definitely recommend this agency. The price is fair and the work is first-rate. Made my stay in Cusco much better.

Good experience
Hello, the pickup information when booking said they would come to pick me up at the hotel, but after paying I received a notice that I have to go to a meeting point 1 km away, which caused me to miss breakfast.
Benito is a very good guide and the driver is a very good driver. Clear explanations and punctuality. Everything perfect.

Absolutely amazing experience with Quad Bike Cusco! Little Biker Hannah had an incredible time, and the entire tour exceeded our expectations. 🏍️🔥
The staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and professional from start to finish. They made the experience fun, safe, and unforgettable for our family.
The scenery, the adventure, and the overall experience were incredible. This was easily one of the best tours we’ve ever done. If you’re visiting Cusco, this is a tour you definitely don’t want to miss!
Thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable adventure! 🇵🇪❤️🏍️

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!

The best!!
Jerver-08PAX was very helpful, explained in great detail all the places we visited. Sensational lunch break!!! Best buffet lunch of our stay in Cusco!!! Highly recommended!! The guide explained very well in English and Portuguese without missing any detail, but translations.

The service was...
The service was excellent, always punctual, and they always made sure to send me a message to ensure I caught all the transport correctly. I received all the visit details the day before, and the guide at Machu Picchu was really good. I recommend this experience to everyone :) Done in one day it can be tiring because you are out all day, but it is really worth it.

Thank you Eduardo!
Eduardo gave us the team name of Team Sexy Llamas, and we were absolutely here for it! It was easy to find our group every time. We went to the same spot for breakfast and lunch, both of which were delicious and plentiful. It also had a gorgeous mountain view and clean bathrooms. Our driver Nicholas was also fantastic at navigating the difficult turns up the mountain. When we finally started our hike, we were given hiking sticks to assist us. Eduardo was great to chat with during the way up, making jokes and sharing information about the Humantay lake and Peru. The trail in the beginning was tolerable but for the more difficult steep incline section up the mountain, we had the option to rent horses for 80PEN which we gladly took. The way down was much easier on foot for everyone and the horse option is not available. Once reaching the lake, we had about an hour to explore, take photos, and rest. The lake was so beautiful and worth the hike. Eduardo took this time to give a history lesson for the entire group. He also helped a party member that was struggling with altitude sickness by giving her an oxygen tank from his backpack. He met us back down the mountain at the bus, and constantly counted to make sure everyone was both safe and accounted for. Would absolutely recommend this exact itinerary to anyone interested in visiting!

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.
