    Amazing experience and views!!

    Amazing experience with a great guide. This was on the back of the Salkantay trek and was phenomenal. The ATVs were a lot of fun and allowed a great opportunity to easily reach Red Valley, Rainbow mountain and the glacier. Stunning views. Would thoroughly recommend this experience and company!

    Response from the operator: We’re so glad you added this adventure to your time in Cusco! 😊 After completing the Salkantay Trek, it’s wonderful to hear that the ATV experience was another highlight of your trip. Rainbow Mountain, Red Valley, and the glacier each have something special to offer, and exploring them by ATV makes the journey even more exciting. Thank you for recommending our team and sharing your experience. We hope to see you back in Cusco someday for another adventure!

    Rude staff, poor instruction, would not recommend

    Unfortunately, I would not recommend this company based on our experience with the Rainbow Mountain ATV tour. The entire experience felt disorganized from the beginning\. We were given semi-automatic ATVs with very little instruction on how to properly operate them. During the practice session, I was having difficulty with the ATV and kept stalling. Instead of taking the time to explain what I was doing wrong or showing me how to correct it, the instructor, Franklin, yelled at me. At another point, Franklin went over to my husband to tell him that I was doing something wrong rather than coming to me directly and helping me understand what I needed to do differently. That was incredibly frustrating and disrespectful. If someone is clearly struggling with unfamiliar equipment, especially an ATV, the appropriate response is to teach them—not yell at them. I would have been completely willing to listen and learn. If someone had simply explained how to properly operate the semi-automatic ATV and helped me understand why I kept stalling, the situation likely could have been resolved very quickly. There were also unclear safety instructions during the ride. We were never told how much distance to maintain between the ATVs. At one point, the driver in front of me stopped abruptly, and I bumped into the back of their ATV. Clear instructions about following distance and what to do if someone stops suddenly would have helped prevent this situation. Communication throughout the tour was also poor and often seemed lost in translation. There was very little organization, and we were not clearly told how much time we had at each location or what the schedule was. We often felt like we did not know what was happening next. Most importantly, the disrespect I experienced significantly changed the entire experience for me. I was already frustrated and uncomfortable because I was struggling with unfamiliar equipment, but being yelled at instead of helped made me feel embarrassed and upset. I could not get past the way I was treated, and as a result, I was unable to fully enjoy the tour or Rainbow Mountain as I normally would have. The experience changed what should have been an exciting and enjoyable activity into one that I will remember negatively. Rainbow Mountain itself was beautiful, and we were excited about doing the ATV experience, which makes the poor service even more disappointing. A tour involving ATVs should prioritize clear instruction, patience, safety, and respectful communication—especially when guests may have little or no experience operating that particular type of ATV. Franklin’s behavior toward me was rude and unprofessional. There is absolutely no reason for an instructor to yell at a guest who is trying to learn. I would not recommend this company based on the lack of instruction, organization, communication, and professionalism we experienced.

    Rainbow Mountain Quads - great tour

    The tour was well run with pick up on time, good breakfast & lunch provided. The quad bikes weren't a problem for us as we were experienced so it was a little tame as you follow along in single file with other people who have never ridden one. Be prepared for the red dust, pack a face buff & your cold weather clothes for up the top of the mountain. Only downside was my husband's bike kept wanting to stall on the uphill so that was a bit annoying. Overall a good tour though and good value for money.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience with us! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the Rainbow Mountain ATV tour, especially the punctual pickup, breakfast, lunch, and overall organization. We also truly appreciate your feedback about the ATV and the riding experience. We’re sorry to hear that your husband’s bike had some issues with stalling on the uphill sections. We’ll take this feedback into account as we continue working to improve the experience for our travelers. Thank you for choosing X Travel Perú and for taking the time to share both the highlights and areas for improvement. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again for another adventure in Cusco!.

    Tour ATV Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley from Cusco: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tour ATV Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley from Cusco 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 Tour ATV Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley from Cusco 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 Tour ATV Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley from Cusco worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 112 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 Tour ATV Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley from Cusco?

    +

    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 Tour ATV Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley from Cusco suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tour ATV Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley from Cusco?

    +

    Around 39 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 Tour ATV Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley from Cusco 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 Tour ATV Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley from Cusco?

    +

    Included: Tourist transport (round trip) with air conditioning; Permanent assistance from the team throughout the tour; Professional guide (Spanish /English); Breakfast buffet in Cusipata; and Pick up from your hotel. Not included: Travel Insurance; Tips are optional according to the level of satisfaction with the service provided; Personal expenses; and Entrance to the Mountain of Colors (National : S/ 15.00 - 4 USD and Foreign : S/ 25.00 - 7.

    Does Tour ATV Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley from Cusco include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 392 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Tour ATV Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley from Cusco offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Tour ATV Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley from Cusco?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Tour ATV Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley from Cusco wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Tour ATV Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley from Cusco if the weather is bad?
