Viator Rainbow Mountain - Daytime trek

Apologies upfront for changing tense a few times below. Your guides went over and above the call and took great care of everybody. I’m 67 and was slower than most of the group, but one of your guides was always nearby. NOTE: The two guides alternated and kept an eye on everyone in the group. I rented a horse for the round trip, and the guide negotiated it for me. I’d recommend the horse to anyone that is not sure if they could make it. The horse is led by local people…you just have to hold on to the saddle. The horse takes you most of the way, but you have to walk the last half kilometer or so which is the steepest part. Again, our guides stayed nearby the entire time. The climb is a little tougher than Machu Picchu mostly due to the altitude, but I’d definitely recommend this company and Rainbow Mountain Vs visiting another church or museum – If you can make it. The journey was spectacular and picturesque, Rainbow Mt. is something else. Be ready to take tons of pictures. It's a full day trip, whether you leave at 4:00am or take this one leaving at 8:00am. The roads were winding and bumpy, but our driver navigated them extremely well.

Great experience!

It is not a easy hike with the altitude.But the view is amazing and totally worth the effort. We saw beautiful glacier and 🌈 mountains. Alfredo is a responsible and reliable person! We enjoyed our tour with him! Gears such as gloves, raincoat and hiking poles are highly recommended.

Response from the operator: Dear Jeffrey, thank you very much for your review, we are glad to give you the best tour to the rainbow mountain.

Rainbow Mountain by Car and Motorcycle: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

How much does Rainbow Mountain by Car and Motorcycle cost?

+

Prices start at $90 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 Rainbow Mountain by Car and Motorcycle take?

+

Plan for about 13 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 Rainbow Mountain by Car and Motorcycle worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Rainbow Mountain by Car and Motorcycle?

+

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 Rainbow Mountain by Car and Motorcycle 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 13-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Rainbow Mountain by Car and Motorcycle?

+

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 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Rainbow Mountain by Car and Motorcycle 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.
