Best ATV trip to Rainbow Mtn ever! - We had the absolute best time on our ATV tour. The guides were incredibly nice and the meal stops were super yummy! Getting to see Rainbow Mountain was one of the highlights of my life. Make sure to bring extra soles if you want to get the motorcycle to the top instead of walking the trail.

What a wonderful day! ... - 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.

Awesome Experience Going Up to Rainbow Mountain! - 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!

Incredible experience.... - 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... - 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!

Once In a Lifetime Adventure - 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.

Excellent Rainbow Mountain tour - Great experience on this ATV adventure. It is an early start but this ensures you get less crowded views of Rainbow Mountain. Our guide Edgar was great. He constantly checked on us to make sure we were tolerating the altitude well. We also got views of the Red Valley which was beautiful. Breakfast and lunch were buffet style and were tasty.

Very nice day trip. - After a very early morning start (3:30am) they drive you to the restaurant for breakfast. After that they drive you for other 10 minutes to the ATPs depot where they explain you how to operate them and have a little practice drive.
You then go directly at the parking at the bottom for the mountain and then you get the motorbike (driven by locals) to near the top. You have a 5-10 mins easy hike to the peak. After 30-40 mins you walk back (or you can choose to take another bike ride down).
After that you go back on the ATPs, drive down and take a detour (about 40 mins) to take some more picture of the glacier.
You return the ATPs and go for lunch for an early lunch (around 11:00am).
Once you finished lunch they drive you back to Cusco.
The entrance to the mountain (25 PEN) not included, also the motorbike is not included (30 PEN each way).
All in all definitely a fun day out.
