My friend Larry and I are two 70 year old buddies since the 8th grade. We were both apprehensive about this ATV tour up to Rainbow Mountain. Our tour guides, Edgar and Edwin took good care of us, teaching us to drive an ATV. We drove the ATVs up the mountain path for about 25 minutes and then rode a motorcycle for another 10 minutes where we reached the viewing site of the beautiful Rainbow Mountain. There was a five minute walk to the viewing site but that was no problem. After spending ample time at the viewing site, we proceeded to drive the ATVs down the mountain on a different path to see Alpacas grazing in the fields and visiting another mountain with another beautiful sight. We were provided a light breakfast before embarking up the mountain and had a nice lunch after the ATV excursion. The bus ride from Cusco to the ATV base camp was about 2 1/2 hours. The van was very comfortable so the drive wasn’t too bad. For two old guys, it was an awesome once in a lifetime experience! I recommend this ATV tour to everybody! Edgar and Edwin were very patient, accommodating and great guys! It was a lot of FUN!

We didn't get to see the colors of rainbow mountain because of snow and clouds but we were there. Good amount of ATV riding. Easy to operate even for 1st time user. I'm 68 and my wife 63 and made it up there with no problems. The guides Edgar & Elvis made sure you were always safe. When we reached the parking lot area parked the ATV's. It's an hour walk steady uphill and 30 minute walk down. To save time Edgar arranged for us to hop on back of a motorcycle to get us to the top and we walked down. Got to enjoy a good ride back a different route to check out the beautiful mountain and see lots of llamas & alpaca's. Good lunches. Early morning start 3:30am back by 5pm. Wish the weather was better but otherwise a memorable experience! If you are in Cusco and want an adventure and not do a so so City Tour this it it. Make sure you take your altitude pill, a young physically fit Italian Couple in their 20's couldn't do it because of altitude sickness!
We booked thru Viator and was not offered either Gate 1 Tours.

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.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words, really 🙏
We’re very happy to know you enjoyed your visit to Rainbow Mountain. We try to keep the experience fun and accessible, without losing that sense of adventure—so it means a lot that you felt it that way.
And thank you for mentioning Edgar. He’s a great person and always looking after everyone in the group. I’ll make sure he sees your message—it will make him really happy.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the food as well. Those little details matter a lot, especially up in the mountains.
Thanks again for trusting us. If you ever come back to Cusco, you’ll always be welcome here

I recently visited Rainbow Mountain, and while the tour included both breakfast and lunch (which was honestly the best part), the overall experience was extremely disappointing.
What was advertised as an ATV tour quickly turned into something very different. At a certain point, we were forced to stop and leave our ATVs, then told we had to pay extra for a motorcycle ride to continue. This felt misleading—especially since we saw other companies successfully taking their ATVs all the way up. It gave the impression that this company works with the motorcycle drivers to generate additional revenue, as we were charged 70 soles total (35 soles each way).
When we finally reached the top, visibility was poor due to fog and snow. While weather is unpredictable and not the company’s fault, the overall organization made things worse. Our tour guide was frequently nowhere to be found, even while my friend and I were experiencing mild altitude sickness, which was concerning.
There were also multiple issues within the group. Some people said they had not originally paid for the ATV but were pressured into doing so. Others paid extra for the Red Valley extension, but that portion of the tour ended up being canceled. When people complained about not getting to see Red Valley, the tour guide actually blamed my friend and me for being sick, as well as a couple in our group who chose to walk. This was extremely unprofessional and unfair.
We were also told we would only be on the mountain for about 30 minutes, but it ended up being over an hour—adding to the exhaustion, especially given the altitude.
The entire day felt disorganized and frustrating, with constant waiting and very little clear communication. It also became clear that multiple tours are combined, so you don’t really know what experience you’re signing up for or what group you’ll end up with. Everyone in our group had different expectations—some wanted to hike, some wanted the ATV experience, others wanted to see Red Valley—which made the experience feel chaotic.
To make matters worse, there was also a very disturbing moment during the trip when the driver ran over a dog. Everyone on the bus heard the dog cry, and there was no acknowledgment or concern shown afterward, which was upsetting to witness.
Overall, this was the worst experience of my trip. I would strongly caution others before booking with this company.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.
We would like to clarify a few important points to avoid misunderstandings. The Red Valley is not included in our tour, and this is clearly specified in the tour description. Any optional visits depend on time, weather conditions, and availability on the day.
Regarding the ATV route, due to local regulations and safety restrictions, there is a point where all ATVs must stop. From there, the final section is completed either by a short walk or by hiring a local motorcycle service, which is optional and clearly listed under exclusions. This service is operated independently by local community members.
Additionally, the ATVs you mentioned reaching closer to the summit belong to local villagers, and their use involves an additional cost of approximately 100 soles per person. These are not part of our service.
We sincerely apologize if at any moment the communication from our guide was not clear or if you felt unsupported, especially while dealing with altitude discomfort. This is not the experience we aim to provide, and we will address this internally.
Regarding the situation you mentioned during transportation, we take this matter seriously and will review it with our team.
We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve, and we regret that your experience did not reflect the quality we strive to offer.

Very long day, bad weather, but still fun! Great experience in spite of snow! I would recommend this tour if you already adjusted to higher altitude.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us!
We’re glad to hear that you still had a great time despite the challenging weather conditions. The Andes can sometimes surprise us with snow or sudden weather changes, but it’s wonderful to know that the adventure to Rainbow Mountain was still enjoyable for you.

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!
Response from Host, Mar 2026

Riding the ATVs is definitely one of the best ways to experience the beautiful landscapes of the Andes while saving energy for the incredible views at the top.
We’re especially glad to hear that Angie made such a positive impression. She is truly passionate about what she does, and we will be sure to share your kind words with her. She will be very happy to know she helped make your day memorable.

dear lesly, thank so much for your confidence
Genesis_R, Feb 2026
Everything went very well from start to finish. Daniel, our guide, and Jorge, our driver, were excellent. From the very beginning, I felt safe and well taken care of. It’s important to be patient during pickup time since they collect other travelers as well, but the process was organized and smooth.
I highly recommend dressing warmly, especially during the rainy and cold season. In our case, it even snowed. The altitude didn’t affect me, but Daniel and his team were always attentive, checking in to make sure everyone was feeling okay and explaining clearly how to handle the ATVs.
The food was delicious—I honestly ate more than expected because everything tasted so good. The transportation was comfortable, and since the trip to and from the mountain is done by van, you can leave extra belongings there. Bringing a small pillow or blanket makes the ride even more comfortable.
I’m very grateful for the entire experience and strongly encourage supporting the local team with a tip. I highly recommend this tour—the ATVs make the experience much easier and allow you to fully enjoy Rainbow Mountain.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review.
We’re truly happy to hear that everything went smoothly from start to finish and that you felt safe and well taken care of throughout the experience. Daniel and Jorge will be very proud to know their professionalism, care, and dedication made such a positive impression. Ensuring everyone feels comfortable, informed, and supported—especially at high altitude—is always our top priority.
We also appreciate you sharing such helpful tips for future travelers, from dressing warmly during the cold and rainy season to bringing a small pillow or blanket for extra comfort during the van ride. It’s great to hear that the ATV instructions were clear, the transportation comfortable, and that you enjoyed the food so much — that always makes the adventure even better!
Thank you as well for encouraging support for our local team; it truly means a lot and helps us continue providing authentic and high-quality experiences. We’re honored by your recommendation and delighted that the ATVs helped you fully enjoy Rainbow Mountain.
We hope to welcome you back again for another unforgettable adventure in Peru! ⛰️✨

Our guide spoke little English. Hard to communicate. They told us pickup at 3:30 and didn’t show till 4:20. With no phone call. Description was misleading. Thought we were riding atvs and motorcycles. Only rode atvs. It was foggy and barely saw the mountain (not your fault). Back tire was loose and the had to stop 4 times to check the noise. At lunch they tightened the tire and it was ok.
All in all a fun tour but the details made it a little stressful.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We truly appreciate it, as it helps us improve our service.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the delayed pickup and the lack of communication during that time. We understand how stressful this can be, especially early in the morning, and this is certainly not the standard we aim to provide. We will reinforce our coordination and communication protocols to avoid this situation in the future.
We’re also sorry to hear that the language barrier with the guide made communication difficult. Clear explanations are essential for a good experience, and we take this feedback very seriously to ensure better English-speaking support going forward.
Regarding the activity description, we apologize for the confusion. Your comment helps us recognize the need to make our tour descriptions clearer and more precise to avoid misunderstandings about the vehicles used.
Thank you as well for pointing out the mechanical issue with the ATV. While we’re glad it was fully resolved at lunch and that safety checks were carried out, we understand that the repeated stops affected your experience. Safety is our top priority, and we will strengthen our pre-tour equipment inspections.
Lastly, while weather conditions like fog are beyond our control, we understand the disappointment of limited visibility and appreciate your understanding in that regard.
We truly regret the aspects that did not meet your expectations and thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much smoother and more enjoyable experience in the future.

The breakfast and lunch buffet had so many options it was really good! We drank a lot of tea before going to rainbow mountain due to the high altitude. Tour guides were kind and informative.

It is 3.5 hours to get from Cusco to Rainbow mountain parking lot.
On the way there you stop at a buffet for breakfast - it was very good food ... hot drinks included but cold drinks (including water) on your own. Upon arrival at the Mountain, you get an overview of the ATVs for about 10 minutes, then drive up the path to the mountain (about 20 minutes) ... then about 20-30 minutes on the mountain (you can walk up an additional 200 meters to the peek but not required to see Rainbow mountain views.
On our visit day, there was snow on the ground so you must be aware that you may not get to see the vibrant colors ...
Altitude is over 16K feet so be prepared for some huffing and puffing even for the short distance. We had finished the 4-day Machu Picchu trek the day before, so we were acclimated. It is about 15 minutes down the hill on the ATVs and then reverse on the shuttle ... stopping for a great lunch at the same buffet location.
Bottom Line: You must be prepared for alot of driving (we slept because of finishing the trek the previous day). You meet at 0300 for departure. Food was great. Sights were subdued because of the snow. temps were amazingly warm.

Be prepared for a long day. Also, ensure you travel knowing the weather can change rapidly so multiple layers and rain gear may be necessary. I would only do this trip after one to two days of acclimation in Cusco. The guides did a great job shuttling us to each step of this adventure because the changes between bus, ATV, motorbike and bike and be complicated and quick.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Gracias por compartir sus útiles consejos y experiencia.
Tienes toda la razón: este es un día largo, y estar preparado para el clima cambiante y la gran altitud es clave para disfrutar al máximo del recorrido. Recomendamos encarecidamente aclimatarse bien en Cusco, además de llevar varias capas y ropa impermeable, tal como mencionaste.
Nos alegra saber que nuestros guías hicieron un excelente trabajo coordinando las diferentes etapas de la aventura

What a wonderful day! Our guide Luis was superb. So friendly and helpful. He was very patient as I slowly trailed behind the group and he kindly continued to offer encouragement; a great choice for my solo day trip! I’d recommend this ATV tour to anyone. Bring soles for the bathroom and other goodies. I’d highly recommend the coca candies to help with the altitude.

It truly made our day to read about you and Larry — two lifelong friends taking on such a memorable adventure together. We completely understand the initial apprehension, and we’re especially happy to hear that Edgar and Edwin made you feel safe, confident, and well cared for every step of the way. They are fantastic guides, and your kind words about their patience, teaching, and positive attitude mean a lot to our whole team.
We’re glad you enjoyed the full experience: the ATV ride up the mountain, the motorcycle ride closer to Rainbow Mountain, the short and manageable walk to the viewpoint, and the beautiful scenery along the way — from alpacas grazing in the fields to the additional scenic stop on the return route. It’s also great to know the breakfast, lunch, and comfortable transportation from Cusco helped make the long day more enjoyable.
Calling this a “once in a lifetime experience” truly honors us. Thank you for your recommendation and for trusting us with such a special adventure. We hope your memories of Rainbow Mountain — and the fun you had together — stay with you forever. Wishing you many more adventures ahead! ✨

Incredible experience. Picked up early morning for a 2 hour bus ride but the bus was comfortable and left alone to try get some sleep/relax, breakfast wasn’t great but that was fine. Next stop was a quick bus ride to get to the ATV station, this was unbelievable, maybe 20-30 mins before getting to a point to start the hike, views where unbelievable and great feeling getting to the top, could definitely feel the altitude and had to take it slow at times but got there, guides where never far away should you need them and they where happy to take pics etc. Return was the same, lunch was provided at the same venue as breakfast, again not the best but definitely didn’t affect the day and would 100% recommend the trip.

A lot of driving, and I think we expected more ATV time on the way up to rainbow mountain, but they made up for it on the way down as we went to the glacier which included some off roading. Edgar was a great guide!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
hank you so much for sharing your experience! We truly appreciate your honesty.
– I’m glad you enjoyed the adventure, especially the ATV ride and the chance to explore off-road going down the mountain.
– I understand your expectation was more ATV time going up. We try to balance between time riding, hiking, and relaxing at viewpoints — but we see now that some guests prefer more ATV time on the ascent.
– Edgar is always delighted to know that his guidance made a difference for you.
We’ll take your comments on board to improve: perhaps adjust how we allocate time so future guests get more ATV time up, or clarify this aspect in advance so expectations match the reality.
Thanks again for trusting us, and for recommending the experience. We would love to welcome you back and give you an even more awesome trip next time!

Breathtaking views and a lot of fun on the ATV. The tour is more than just Rainbow Mountain. The guides were very helpful and accommodating. Don’t underestimate the cold or the altitude. This is a very strenuous activity, but well worth it. They do have the ability to purchase gloves or scarves at breakfast which was a lifesaver. A long bus ride each way, but well worth it.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you very much for sharing your experience!
We’re delighted you enjoyed the breathtaking views, fun ATV ride, and the effort our guides put in. It’s great to know that having gloves or scarves available at breakfast was helpful in dealing with the cold — we try hard to anticipate needs like that.
You’re absolutely right: altitude and cold are serious factors, and this tour is more demanding than it might first appear. We appreciate your comment reminding others (and ourselves) not to underestimate them.
Thank you again for joining us, for your patience, and for sharing what stood out for you. We hope to guide you again soon, and make the next trip even better!

We went with Danny who was so helpful and friendly. We had a great buffet breakfast and lunch.

Super fun day trip, got to see Rainbow mountain before most tourists arrived by skipping part of the hike on ATV/motorbike. Afterwards some fun off-roading with the ATV as well.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience! We’re so glad to hear that you had such a fun day, especially with the opportunity to see Rainbow Mountain before the crowds arrived.

The good:
• The food was good. We enjoyed the meals provided.
• The location was great, and we had a good time exploring.
• ATV driving was fun and well-organized. A definite highlight of the trip.
The bad:
• We were picked up in a van with no heating. It felt like this was done to save fuel, but it made for a very uncomfortable ride.
• Breakfast was served at a restaurant without heating—it felt like sitting outdoors in the cold.
• On the return trip, the situation was reversed: this time there was no air conditioning, making the last few hours feel unbearable due to the heat.
Guide & Information:
• We booked the tour in English, but 90% of the guide’s explanations were in Spanish. This made it difficult to follow along or understand the context of the places we visited.
• The guide didn’t provide much additional information. No history, fun facts, or insights into the locations we passed. This made the experience feel less engaging than it could have been.
So the conclusion is that we definitely would have payed for a private driver if we were to do it again(have done other tours in Peru, nothing comes close to the discomfort felt here)

muchas gracias por tomarte tu tiempo para dejarnos su opinion, nosotros recibimos las opiniones ya sea positivo o negativo de buena forma ya que eso nos ayuda a seguir en el camino de la excelencia y seguir mejorando dia a dia nuestro servicio.
ahora respondemos a su queja. nosotros un dia antes siempre nos comunicamos con todos nuestros pasajeros para indicarle las recomendaciones y lo mismo hicimos con usted en donde lo hemos indicado que lleven ropa abrigadora , casacs de varias capas y lo hemos indicado como es el clima ahi arriba , ahora en el carro muchas veces no es suficiente aire acondicionado del carro y es por ese motivo que se les da recomendaciones para no pasar esos malos momentos , ahora ustedes no hicieron caso ninguna de las recomendaciones y no llevaron ropa abrigadora y fueron apenas con un pantalon que no abriga nada y solo una casaca , obvio que les hiba hacer frio porque no estaban preparados a pesar de todas las recomendaciones que se le dio un dia antes .

This tour is misleading. The atv’s do not take you any further than a car would. You still have to hike a significant amount or pay for an additional ride on a motorcycle. I booked this excursion thinking that it would save on walking and it does not. Save the money and book a normal trip to rainbow mountain. The mountain itself was great!

Dear chase , thank so much for take your time to leave your reviews. In the section exclution clearly says is not included the motorcycle rental for the last section, we have a lot of positive reviews because we work with atv for beautifull landscape and the last section with motorcycle with driver to get before crowd to take beautiful photos and enjoy free without crowd

This was an amazing experience. The ATV and dirtbike was so easy. The views were beautiful. Our guides were fabulous. I would do it again. The food was good and the van was comfortable.

Our trip to Rainbow Mountain was amazing! The company was very communicative and prompt in our pickup time. We loved the breakfast and lunch stops and having the opportunity to purchase additional warm clothing prior to the experience (a must!). Our tour guide was Edgar who was friendly and helpful, and helped us out by lending us money when we didn’t have enough soles for the motorcycle ride to the summit. The ATVs were fun and exciting and the surroundings of the mountains were incredible to behold!
