The best choice for adventurers - I recommend it 100%, since before my arrival in Cusco I already felt confident and clear about what I needed for my excursion thanks to being contacted by whatsapp, Roger and Edgar met me at my hotel at the time they indicated, they took us to breakfast buffet style, then we went to the mountain, I recommend that they have enough cash for the different stops that include bathrooms, drinks and snacks and for the entrance to the mountain that are 25 suns per person, I was very exhausted but my Guide, Edgar, was always by my side and stayed at my pace. Then they took us to lunch, also buffet style and left us in front of our hotels. I had a brutal time.

Wonderful Tour & Experience to Rainbow Mountain - You must book this tour and won’t regret it. The tour operator contacted me the night prior to confirm pick up. They picked me up on time and it was nice to discover we were only 3 on this tour so made it very private and intimate. We drove to breakfast which was a nice buffet then another 1.5 hours to pick up the ATV. Drove them to the base of the mountain where I chose to hike up but others have options to ride on the back of motorcycles or horses. The hike up isn’t easy so be aware of your physical abilities. Once you get to the top the views are spectacular and so special. We got to spent 30-40 minutes and since I am In very good physical condition my tour guide, Rogelio, offered to take me to the other mountain to see Red Valley. I’m so glad and appreciative he offered and we got to experience another beauty. It added another 30 minutes to the hike but since we were a small group it was possible and didn’t interfere with the others. We returned to the same place we had breakfast for a buffet lunch which was very mediocre… but expected since that place caters to all the tours and they feed hundreds each day. Rogelio, our guide, was so friendly and knowledgeable. We got to spend time together hiking red valley so got to talk about Peru, his culture and share my background as well. This tour was a wonderful ending to 6 incredible days in Cusco and Machu Picchu.

We loved it!! - We did the ATV Tour to Rainbow Mounting and we loved the day from start to finish!! Getting up early was more than worth it. Punctual pickup, great driver, breakfast with pancakes, omelette and lots of fruits, we were the first at breakfast, great instruction at the ATV, the riding was very fun and was super guided (easy for everyone to do), then with the motorbike of the locals to Rainbow Mountain and since we saved ourselves this climb, we still had energy (and handled the altitude well) to walk to the Red Valley viewpoint. Our absolute highlight of the tour next to our guide Rogelio who did a fantastic job, spoke super English, accompanied us on the ATV ride top, always interested in our well-being and tried hard! We were super happy, this one was definitely the favorite tour of our 4 month trip to South America!

Super fun ! - We booked this tour the evening before as we were in two minds of doing it. We had just landed in Cusco and were a bit apprehensive of the altitude sickness. But since we spent the past few days in Atacama at similar altitudes, we decided to go for it and SO glad we did. Waking up at 2.30 and being on the road at 3.30 was definitely worth it once we got to the top and saw the spectacular views. The ATV ride was super fun. Our guide Edgar was excellent. He gave us a quick crash course and was super attentive throughout. Highly recommend this tour. It's the best and most fun way to see the rainbow mountain.

Great adventure, worth the views - Great tour, the view from the peak is incredible. We were advised to take the moto bikes to the top for 70 soles extra. Definitely worth it. Ran out of cash so we had to walk down afterwards but wasn't too bad. The breakfast so early so I didn't even really eat much but the lunch was delicious with many vegetarian options. Edgar was our guide and made sure we were safe and had a good trip overall.

Truly unforgettable family trip to rainbow mountain by atv - This was an unbelievable tour that was truly special and one we will never forget. The minibus trip to the atv base was a tour in itself with spectacular scenery that unfortunately a camera can not fully capture. The atv trip there and back was an amazing drive with stunning backdrops of mountain ranges everywhere. Once we reached the base of rainbow mountain we opted to take the motorbikes up which was a further 10 minutes of adrenaline and also allowed us alot more time at the top to explore this wonder. The view at the top of rainbow mountain were truly incredible and you had a spectacular 360 degree panoramic view of the surrounding mountain ranges and glaciers that was mind blowing. The breakfast and lunch that was included in this excursion was also very good. A very special thanks to Edgar and Rogelio our tour guides who were phenomenal during the whole trip, always making sure we were ok, taking awesome photos and offering very good advice on how to get the most out of the tour. They were top draw, can not thank them enough. Also thank you to our driver Roger who got us there and back as it is no easy route especially when navigating up and down the mountain. Make sure to use Viajes Speefy Tour.
