    Rainbow Mountain delight

    Rainbow Mountain is absolutely stunning. MC Expeditions are a first class company offering a premium experience. Sensible choice of route (slightly longer, but mostly flat. Also, motorcycle and horse options make this amazing trip accessible.

    Rainbow mountain tour is amazing! The tour provider did good work. The motorcycle ride made us very easy to get on the top of the mountain and save a lot of time to enjoy the beautiful views.

    Our trip to Rainbow...

    Our trip to Rainbow Mountain with MC Peru Expeditions was a wonderful experience. The team communicated clearly in advance about the itinerary and pickup details, making the tour smooth and well organized. Our tour guide, Mr. Hilton, took excellent care of our group throughout the day. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and provided helpful information about Rainbow Mountain and the surrounding area, ensuring everyone had an enjoyable experience. The buffet breakfast and lunch arranged at the hotel were very good, with a wide variety of delicious food to choose from. We highly recommend MC Peru Expeditions to anyone planning a visit to Rainbow Mountain. Their excellent organization, great service, and attentive guide made the trip memorable.

    Amazing views

    The place is amazing. When you get to the mountain base you have the choice of walking to the top (90 minutes uphill), riding a horse or, riding a motorcycle ( driven by a local). The bike or horse cost 70 soles( $ 20) up or 90 round trip. 3 of us chose bike up the rest walked. Consequently, i had enough time on top to climb the back hill. See the big hand where you can take a picture and get to the photo stop in front of the mountain before most tours got to the top. There are tons of people with llamas that will take your picture or pose themselves for a tip. Also, I highly recommend trying the fried alpaca some are selling. It is delicious and it only costs 15 to 20 soles. I made my way down at my leisure. Since most of the group was still on top i was able to wander off and see the wild llamas, the offerings, the creek, and anything else that might call my attention. Once down, there are bathrooms for 2 soles, refreshments, curios, and fried alpaca again. The tour is well organized they were on time to get me from the hotel. Bring warm clothes, sunblock, plenty water,scarf and gloves. This mountain is at over 14000 feet, the air is cold no matter what. On my way down i saw many people that ended up hiring a horse to make it the last leg. That is always an option. The altitude is very taxing. The views of the entire valley and the experience as a whole is well worth the tour

    Response from the operator: Lisandro, thank you so much for your beautiful and detailed review. We’re very happy to know you enjoyed the experience. For us, one of the best ways to enjoy the mountain is arriving easily by motorcycle and then walking down through the scenic trail, which allows you to enjoy the landscape in a relaxed and memorable way.

    Rainbow Mountain Easy Tour with Optional Motorcycle: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Rainbow Mountain Easy Tour with Optional Motorcycle cost?

    +

    Prices start at $29 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 Easy Tour with Optional Motorcycle 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 Rainbow Mountain Easy Tour with Optional Motorcycle worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 19 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 Easy Tour with Optional 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 Easy Tour with Optional Motorcycle 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 Rainbow Mountain Easy Tour with Optional Motorcycle?

    +

    Around 7 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 Rainbow Mountain Easy Tour with Optional 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, 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 Rainbow Mountain Easy Tour with Optional Motorcycle?

    +

Not included: Entrance ticket to the Rainbow Mountain S/30 Soles on site; and Optional Motorcycle with driver available on site S/ 90 soles. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Rainbow Mountain Easy Tour with Optional Motorcycle include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 536 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Rainbow Mountain Easy Tour with Optional Motorcycle offered in?

    +

    Is Rainbow Mountain Easy Tour with Optional Motorcycle wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
