Beautiful tours
I did it by ATV and hiking! Beautiful experience. Keep in mind to bring warm clothing due to the altitude

Excellent
Excellent, not only this excursion but all the ones we did with the company that accompanied us for 12 days. They have fulfilled everything agreed upon. We were in Lima, Cusco, and Puno. The only thing I would not recommend is the hotel in Puno, but it was fine anyway.
Response from the operator: ¡Muchas gracias por compartirnos su experiencia! 😊 Nos alegra muchísimo saber que durante estos 12 días pudimos acompañarlos y cumplir con todo lo coordinado en Lima, Cusco y Puno. Tomamos muy en cuenta su comentario sobre el hotel de Puno para seguir mejorando.

Beautiful colorful mountain experience
Excellent!!! All amazing!!! The guides and drivers, very professional. On time, vehicles always clean. All highly recommended. Breakfast and lunch in a place halfway where everything was very rich!!! And there are toilets. The mountain can be climbed by motorbike or horseback. It's quite demanding the way but it's worth the Sorrow.
Response from the operator: ¡Muchas gracias por su comentario! 😊 Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutó de la experiencia y que destacó la profesionalidad de nuestros guías y conductores, así como la puntualidad y el buen estado de los vehículos. Esperamos volver a acompañarlo(a) muy pronto en una nueva aventura por Perú.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Cusco Mountain of Colors: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does From Cusco Mountain of Colors cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 From Cusco Mountain of Colors take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 From Cusco Mountain of Colors worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 7 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 From Cusco Mountain of Colors?
+
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 From Cusco Mountain of Colors suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book From Cusco Mountain of Colors?
+
Around 2 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Cusco Mountain of Colors 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.
What is included in From Cusco Mountain of Colors?
+
Included: Breakfast and lunch buffet; Roundtrip transportation; Pick up from your hotel or meeting point; Professional Guide; and 24-hour monitoring. Not included: Personal Expenses; and Horse Transport Service. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does From Cusco Mountain of Colors include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 6 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is From Cusco Mountain of Colors offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for From Cusco Mountain of Colors?
+
