Trip to Rainbow mountain
The Rainbow mountain trip was great only overshadowed by the fact that for the entire 8hr mini bus trip the aircon was not working and there were no windows to open, this is the only reason I am not able to give 5 stars.

Bad communication...Scary first, then beautiful.
I booked specifically with an English speaking guide, but didn't get one. We were asked to meet at a point. We were there, and they were at a different spot. While we were walking to them, they were driving to us. We had to walk back to our original spot. They put us in 2 cars, and started speeding through the city because we were now late. We lost our second car, but couldn't communicate with the driver to see what was happening. My sister was in that car, and called to tell me that they stopped the car and made them get out and get into a different car, which was scary. Our car caught up to a tour bus, and we got out on the highway to run up to the bus. The bus took off again before the other car could catch us. We were asking where the other car was and nobody could answer. Eventually they did catch up and join us on the tour bus, but the first part of that trip was terrifying. We met nice people on the bus that translated for us. Riding the ATVs was fun, and Rainbow Mountain was beautiful! The trip is worth it, but maybe make sure you have English speaking guides if you need them.

The drive was long but...
The drive was long but there is no other way around it. Breakfast and lunch are not my favorite but that is just a personal opinion.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for enjoying the tour with our team. We appreciate you sharing your experience.

Gary needs HeadPHONES!!!
The experience at Rainbow Mountain was great. The issues was the tour guide Gary as he didn't provide much info and the entire way he would keep his phone on LOUD and be watching TIKTOK or some non sense. Gary needs a headphone because I was toward the rear of the van and it sound was SOOOO loud that it seemed like Gary was sitting next to me. Image listening to TIKTOK for the ENTIRE RIDE. The meals offer was HORRIBLE and was NOT warm and alot of folks were concerns about getting sick.

Friendly guides, cute alpacas. If it snows, can't see rainbow and scary ride up
Guides were kind and helpful. The breakfast and lunch was good and was clean, with lots of buffet options to pick from. Tour bus was clean, modern and comfortable, with fairly prompt pick up. At the top, there are reasonably priced ponchos and rubber bootie covers for sale, along with snacks and bathrooms. There are cute llamas/alpacas to take pictures with. I would say 5 stars for that part. I gave 4 stars because we felt like this tour company should give more attention to safety and should take into consideration if the view you are paying to see is even visible and let you know ahead of time if that day's weather forecast will negatively affect your tour. Something to consider if you find out its going to snow... the view is covered in snow and all white as far as the eye can see, so its 1 color (white) instead of a Rainbow. After we were already on the way there, we were told there is an 80% chance of Not seeing the view of the rainbow mountain in January because of snowy weather. I know they can't control weather, but we would have liked to be told that before leaving. Also, the second half of the bus ride after breakfast is mostly a one lane dirt road, snaking sharply back and forth to the top along a steep drop off for about an hour ... That can be a normal part of traveling in the Andes, but something to be aware of if you are afraid of that sort of thing. The safety concern we have is because it was snowing, the steep road was snow/slush covered most of the way, and also flooded/washed out in two areas with a rapidy river flowing over it into the drop-off that we had to drive through; it was a very treacherous ride even for experienced travelers. Also, once we got to the ATVs, they could barely drive because the snow was so slippery. If we had known ahead of time how snow affects the tour, we would have canceled. In fact, a tour guide from a different company who we had at Machu Picchu a few days later said he lead a Rainbow Mountain tour group the same day we went, and they took their group elsewhere because it was too dangerous that day and that the 7 color view was not visible at all. It would have been nice to have been offered a similar option or at least been made aware of conditions before getting picked up that day. If the weather forecast is good, I would recommend this tour.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rainbow Mountain on ATV Adventure, Only 7 Minutes Walk: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Rainbow Mountain on ATV Adventure, Only 7 Minutes Walk cost?
+
Prices start at $69 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 on ATV Adventure, Only 7 Minutes Walk take?
+
Plan for about 12.5 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 on ATV Adventure, Only 7 Minutes Walk worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 24 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 on ATV Adventure, Only 7 Minutes Walk?
+
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 on ATV Adventure, Only 7 Minutes Walk suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rainbow Mountain on ATV Adventure, Only 7 Minutes Walk?
+
Around 8 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 12.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rainbow Mountain on ATV Adventure, Only 7 Minutes Walk 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.
