Espectacular experience, a must do!
This tour was amazing. The Ausangate and its surrounding are magestic. THanks to the ATVs we could get closer to the glacier and the lagoon. THere were alpacas and llamas roaming free. I even witnessed one giving birth. The guides Jonathan and Lenin were superb, they had patience, were respectful, knowledgeable, and friendly. We felt safe driving the atvs. This is a must do. The Ausangate should be withing the 10 world natural wonders. I am grateful for having been able to witness such beauty and I strongly recommend this gour for all nature lovers.

Perfect for going with family or friends, don't miss it.
Incredible experience, highly recommended. I went alone and had an excellent time. The guide was very professional and friendly, explained everything in detail, and was attentive at all times. The tour met all promises and the timing was perfect. It is totally worth the price. If you have any doubts, book it directly with them.

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
ATV Tour to Ausangate Mountain from Cusco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does ATV Tour to Ausangate Mountain from Cusco cost?
+
Prices start at $107 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does ATV Tour to Ausangate Mountain from Cusco take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is ATV Tour to Ausangate Mountain from Cusco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule ATV Tour to Ausangate Mountain from Cusco?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is ATV Tour to Ausangate Mountain from Cusco suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book ATV Tour to Ausangate Mountain from Cusco?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does ATV Tour to Ausangate Mountain from Cusco start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
