The Red Valley is a beautiful valley very close to Vinicunca, that is almost completely covered in red, a valley that seems to be out of this planet. It is a new tourist attraction that is very close to the famous Rainbow Mountain, is an impressive place, and the best thing is that few people visit it.

Private tour to Rainbow mountain on Sep 6,2026 with John
Our guide, John, was exceptionally professional, patient, and attentive. He went above and beyond throughout the entire trip to take care of us. His English is fluent, and his explanations were always clear and informative. Thanks to his guidance, we successfully reached the summit with no regrets and zero altitude sickness. We would love to travel with John again in the future!

Wonderful spot
The rainbow mountain is an amazing spot. Alex and Elis took good care of us from the pick-up to the drop off. Everything is well coordinated and is in a good ambiance. The guide (Elis) is going up on a good pace and waits for everyone. Finally, the driver (Alex) tries to avoid the traffic as much as possible by taking short cuts for example, he drives really well. We can only recommend this tour agency !
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and recommendation! 🏔️😊 We’re delighted to hear that Alex and Elis took great care of you from pick-up to drop-off and that everything felt well organized and enjoyable. We’re especially happy that Elis kept a comfortable pace and made sure everyone was able to enjoy the hike, while Alex provided a safe and smooth drive and helped make the journey as efficient as possible. 🚐✨ Thank you for choosing us for your Rainbow Mountain adventure and for trusting our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us! We hope to welcome you again for another amazing experience in Peru. 🙏

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley by ATV | Flexible Hours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Private Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley by ATV | Flexible Hours cost?
+
Prices start at $179 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 Private Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley by ATV | Flexible Hours 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 Private Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley by ATV | Flexible Hours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 69 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 Private Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley by ATV | Flexible Hours?
+
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 Private Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley by ATV | Flexible Hours suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 11-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley by ATV | Flexible Hours?
+
Around 24 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 Private Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley by ATV | Flexible Hours 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, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, 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.
