Stone forrest & rainbow mountain

Rafael was a very kind and enthusiastic guide. He was so helpful. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the food for breakfast and lunch was lovely. definietly recommend to anyone staying in cusco and looking for a more peaceful rainbow mountain experience

Such an excellent way to see rainbow mountain without having to hike. Riding the ATVs was fun and the guides made sure we were all safe. We had plenty of time to view rainbow mountain and take photos. The guide offered to take photos and was vigilant when it came to safety regarding the altitude as well. Breakfast and lunch was good!

Best day!

Our guide was amazing and the trip was one to remember for the rest of my life! I enjoyed our trip immensely!

Our guide Dany was excellent and make our tour went smoothly. Highly recommended tour!

Good communication prior to trip. All was well coordinated for the meals and the ATV pickup. We would have liked another 10 minutes at the mountain viewpoints, but it was still a great visit.

Montaña de 7 colores

Excelente tour, Rogelio muy buen guía y atento. Súper divertida experiencia, y el buffet muy completo.

Amazing! We choose to do the 3am tour and it was the best decision! We were one of the first vans that arrived in the base of Rainbow Mountain. They’ve teached us to ride the ATV and the surroundings were amazingly beautiful!!! After reaching the rainbow mountain you have the option to hike 10 min up to the top or go with the flat path. We’ve had 45 min there! The breakfast and lunch was cozy and tasty! We loved it, super recommend!

Excelente tour

Nos encantó visitar la montaña de 7 colores y el valle rojo! Muchas gracias a nuestro guía Rogelio, un genio total, súper atento y a disposición de todo el grupo. El desayuno y el almuerzo estuvo excelente, súper completo y rico. Alquilamos los cuatriciclos y tuvieron mucha paciencia para explicarnos cómo manejar. Los volvería a elegir y recomiendo totalmente. Muchas gracias nuevamente a Rogelio 🙌🏼

Exceeded my expectations

We had a wonderful trip up Rainbow mountain! The wheather was great and the Red Valley was stunning. Views of snowcapped Andes in the back, very beautiful. I loved taking the ATV to have a shorter hike. Rogelio was the best guid we have had the whole trip! He is very funny. The only downside is getting up so dang early. There are no less tourists, I wish there was an option to go later in the day

Amazing Experience well worth the early wake up

We had an amazing experience on The Ultimate: Red Valley + Rainbow Mountain by ATV — no hiking, and a huge part of that was thanks to our wonderful guide, Rojher. From the very beginning, Rojher was incredibly patient, kind, and helpful. I accidentally left my phone in the taxi that picked us up from our hotel, and Rojher went above and beyond to help me get it back. He made multiple phone calls and sent messages to the taxi driver, patiently waited with me until the driver returned, and made sure I was able to check the car and recover my phone. Since the group had already left for breakfast, Rojher even arranged a taxi for my partner and me so we could catch up with the rest of the group. His kindness and willingness to help turned what could have been a very stressful situation into something much easier to handle. Once we arrived for the ATV ride, Rojher continued to be attentive every step of the way. Our group was small, and he made sure everyone was safe, comfortable, and enjoying the experience. He led us to both Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley and was always there to guide and assist us along the way. The scenery was incredible, and riding the ATVs made the experience even more memorable. But honestly, what made the day truly special was having a guide like Rojher. His patience, kindness, and genuine care for his guests really stood out. Thank you, Rojher, for making our experience so wonderful! We highly recommend this tour, and especially Rojher as a guide.

Great experience fully recommend

Beautiful views and great trip.

We really enjoyed the trip. The food was excellent - fresh and lots of choice. The trip was fab but we underestimated how cold it would be! Our guide Rogelio was also helpful, answering any of our questions.

Gran experiencia desafiante

Excelente experiencia. Una gran aventura. Y el guía espectacular Rogelio

Excellent Experience

We had an amazing experience on the Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley tour! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and our tour guide, Rogelio, was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful throughout the entire trip. He made sure we were comfortable and even took so many great pictures for us! We truly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend this tour, especially with Rogelio as your guide!

10/10

Rainbow Mountain + Red Valley with Rogelio — 10/10, would do again. The climb is no joke (altitude hits different up there 😅) but Rogelio kept everyone laughing and moving at a good pace. He clearly knows and loves this place — shared so many cool stories about the mountains and local culture along the way. Rainbow Mountain is unreal in person, colors you just can't fully capture in photos. Red Valley was an awesome bonus stop too, way less crowded and just as gorgeous. Rogelio even grabbed some great summit pics for us. If you're heading to Rainbow Mountain, book with Rogelio. Total legend, made the whole trip 🙌

Excellent

Très belle expérience. La vue est magnifique, il y a peu de monde, c'est un très bon moyen de profiter des montagnes arc en ciel loin de la foule et à notre rythme. Notre guide, Rafael, s'est montré présent lorsqu'il le fallait mais nous a aussi laissé monter à notre rythme.

Rent ATVs to go to rainbow mtn. Great experience.

Rainbow mountain is breath taking. Taking an ATV just made more sense than walking, especially with the altitude. The ATV route was also more panoramic than the walking route Worth the money

The tour guides and drivers were great, but the bus was necessarily early in my opinion, especially as we saw other groups just arriving at rainbow mountain as we were leaving. The ATV bit was disappointing as well, very short and the guides seem to be opposed to going any faster than 3 mph, which was frustrating and boring.

We did the Rainbow Valley day tour with MC Peru Expeditions, and it was superbly organised and our guide Rogelio was amazing and knowledgeable. Had an early start at 3.45pm, however the advantage being that you are on of the first to get toVinicunca Mountain (avoiding traffic, also on the return). Also lucked out as it was a beautiful sunny day. Breakfast and lunch at same place, had vegetarian options. Were a group of 12, and Rogelio made sure wartime was included and speaking in both Spanish and English. He made the journey enjoyable and big kudos to the driver too. Highly recommend using these guys, and ask for Rogelio!

Excellent personalized service; they're always available to answer your questions. Very professional and attentive. 100% recommended. I congratulate and thank them for the service provided in Cusco. They were a huge help and support to my aunt, an elderly woman over 80 years old.

It was an incredible experience! The views to and from the mountain were jaw dropping and then the experience of taking the bikes up to the top, exploring the rainbow mountain, and riding back down is something that will remain with me for a long time. The breakfast and lunch buffet choices were also good. Our tour guide, Luis, was superb, engaging and very accommodating. I highly recommend this tour, especially for those who have only been in Cusco for a day or so as it really helps taking the ATV all the way up rather than having to hike 40 mins of the way up.

Overall Rainbow Mountain is an awesome excursion and a must-see while in Cusco. Riding ATVs instead of walking is definitely the way to go! The pros: Prompt pickup at my hotel Food was great for breakfast and lunch The cons: Our guide spoke very little English. To the extent we couldn’t understand anything about the Rainbow mountain once we arrived. Hidden S/25 entrance fee per person not advertised prior, randomly collected on the bus ride Overall riding an ATV to rainbow mountain was awesome and worth the $80 USD, this tour just didn’t earn 5 stars from me due to those cons.

ATVing up Rainbow Mountain was a lot of fun. The guides were great. The ATV takes you just below the summit lookout, it’s a 5-10 minute hike to get to the top, or a 5 minute flat walk to another lookout. Everything was well organized. The stops for breakfast and lunch were good. My only complaint is the limited air conditioning in the van on the way back to Cusco. By midday, the sun is strong and heats up the van quickly. The air conditioning cycled on and off and it got pretty hot in the van making for a long somewhat uncomfortable ride back to the city.

It was great our guide Sergio was awesome. Would recommend it to my family and friends

Amazing experience! The ATV's were very user friendly. It was so gorgeous for travel through the Andean country side. I took a tour to Ausangate glacier, where I was able to hike part of the mountain and I personally took a quick swim in one of the 7 glacial lakes. Jorge was an amazing guide who was very friendly and welcoming. He spoke good English and made sure I was comfortable throughout the trip and made sure to take amazing photos. Aside from a few caretakers, Jorge and I seemed to be the only people in the entire national park. This was truly one of the best things I did while I was in Peru. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a more unique experience while in Peru!

we had a great day trip to Rainbow Mountain and as a scenic bonus the glacier capped mountains behind. Early start, however was well worth the amazing sight that is Rainbow mountain. Have never driven an ATV before, but simple to operate and time to practice before heading off. Lots of time at the top to wander around and then return by ATV to the bus for transit home. Very scenic bus trip home, unlike the darkness on the way there!! Would definitely recommend.

Everything was great, except the 3am start and lack of direction that it is going to be freezing cold and to bring gloves, hats, leg warmers and layer up. Starting the tour at 4am would be much better.

The pick up coordination was chaotic with differing information from our guide and our pick up driver where to meet. Once we finally made it to the bus and started driving about 45 minutes in we stopped with no communication form our guide Noemi as to why and wauted 1 hour because she forgot 2 participants in Cusco... After they arrived we coninued to drive for 30 minutes just to stop again to fuel the bus. Eventually we were horribly delayed and had to rush on the rainbowmountain. Noemis timekeeping was really poor and we barely got any guiding at the location.

So much fun! Our guide was awesome, extremely supportive and helpful. Food was good and ATVs were definitely the way to go if you’re not an experienced hiker. Beautiful mountain and great photos.

Great value for money - highly recommend

We had a brilliant day, Christian was an excellent guide and ensured the day ran smoothly. The journey is so long but so worth it! I would recommend this tour.

We booked the early tour at 3am and were super happy. I don't know if we were lucky but the van was not full so that made it so much more comfortable to travel and sleep in the morning! The way that the tour is structured is great - the travelling really feels okay and not too much. Also, great selection for breakfast and lunch! About the ATVs - omg it was fantastic!! It is so fun to drive them through the mountains and quite easy! This is a fantastic way to explore Rainbow mountain! We were one of the first ones up there - so that was amazing!

Hands down the best way to tackle rainbow mountain; atvs were automatic, easy to use, incredibly fun, and saved on a taxing walk. Tour guide was great and transportation out there straightforward and easy.

Really good tour, thank you so much

The best 80 bucks spent hands down!!! This was a great alternative to hiking the mountain. You still get to see the amazing view without the added stress. It’s not just about fitness level; the altitude is no joke and absolutely affects your ability to climb, especially if you’re newly arrived. I highly recommend this tour!!

Rainbow mountain tour experience was amazing though the weather was little bit cloudy and bit of snowing as well . But our guide Royer made sure we didn’t have any difficulty and made sure that we had wonderful time during the entire trip. Due to the high altitude, I felt slight discomfort in driving the ATV, but Royer took care of that driving part and also helped me from getting down the high point of the mountain. And also my sincere thanks to the driver (forgot his name.. sorry). The breakfast and buffet lunch were not satisfactory and not enough options for vegetarians like us.

The female guide was professional and very kind. However, the driver was driving recklessly during heavy traffic, which made many of the passengers feel unsafe. We also weren’t informed in advance about how cold it would be up in the mountains this time of year, so we were forced to buy extra clothing to stay warm since we weren’t properly dressed for the weather. Additionally, during the winter season you can’t really see much — it’s essentially just a snow-covered mountain. It would be much better to visit in the summer. Honestly, the fact that this tour still operates in the winter feels a bit misleading.

Lenyn was an amazing tour guide! He was very attentive and caring he even cared for my wife as she fainted at rainbow mountain and immediately gave her oxygen. A life saver and a one of a kind experience the views were breathtaking!

The activity is amazing, totally worth it. Sergio the guide is very attentive and the tour was great.

Long journey on very bumpy roads. Breakfast and lunch were good. The ATV ride up to rainbow mountain was a great alternative to walking but the instructors were quite aggressive when demanding money while the tour guide was out of earshot. The tour guide was great but the group was predominantly Spanish speaking. The hike up to the viewpoint was quite challenging due to the snow and ice but the view was worth the effort.

Great experience! I’m so glad I booked with this staff. Sergio was the best host we could have asked for. He really cares about all his guests and wants everyone to get the best experience. The driver was great and got us everywhere very timely. Premium experience for anyone considering.

A fantastic tour guide，a fantastic experience. A Very considerate tour leader. Although the journey was long,We were lucky enough to see Rainbow Mountain under the sunlight. Encouraged by the guide, we also climbed to the top and saw the most beautiful scenery.Riding an ATV on the winding mountain road was a new ecperience and felt very exciting. Breakfast amd Lunch on this trip were both excellent 。

Only complaint is wether which was not helpful.

The day was early but worth it. We had both a buffet style breakfast and lunch which was nice. Taking ATVs up to Rainbow Mountain was clutch. I definitely recommend that over hiking. It was cold and slightly raining/snow so bring warm gear. More time is spent driving than actually being at Rainbow Mountain so plan for that, but it was nice getting back to Cusco in the afternoon and still having the remainder of the day to myself. Great views and I recommend this trip for anyone looking for a fun adventure!

The breakfast and lunch were fantastic and really helped break up the 3 hour drive each way. We were the first group there so it was not crowded and by the time we left, hundreds of people were there. Highly recommend this tour and going with the 3am pick up time.

Beautiful views, included breakfast and lunch

I had an incredible experience visiting Rainbow Mountain today. The tour started with a hotel pickup, and the transportation was clean and comfortable. Since it was very early and quite cold, they provided blankets, which was a really thoughtful touch. Choosing the 3 a.m. pickup might sound a little crazy, but it turned out to be the best decision we made. When we arrived at Rainbow Mountain, there was practically no one there, and we were able to enjoy the views and take amazing photos without any crowds. Both breakfast and lunch were buffet-style with a great variety of food. Our tour guide, Jose Luis, was fantastic—very attentive, always checking on everyone, and explaining every detail along the way. Overall, I had a wonderful time and I 100% recommend this tour.

This was an awesome tour! The company responds very quickly and keeps you up to date on pick up times which was nice. It’s really easy to communicate with the guides through WhatsApp. Everything was well organized and planned out perfectly. The van we all rode in was comfortable and even had USB ports for charging our devices. Breakfast and lunch were delicious. It was buffet style with lots of choices. The guide was so nice! He constantly checked on all of us to make sure we were okay, and he even took awesome pictures for all of us on the tour too. The ATV ride was so fun. We rode the double ATV. The scenery was breathtaking! It’s a short 7 minute walk up the hill to get the classic view of rainbow mountain, but you can see the mountain also from where you park the ATVs if you didn’t want to climb higher. After acclimating for a few days in Cusco, the elevation wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be. It was mostly felt walking up inclines. We highly recommend this tour!

Very well organised tour and Danny was very helpful and cheerful. Told us a lot about the journey.

Guide and experience overall was great. The ATV’s were a ton of fun. Transportation is rough mainly because of the roads so that will be expected on any tour. Food for breakfast/ lunch was ok. We didn’t go on the tour for the food so didn’t knock them for it. They were very accommodating. Would recommend!

We did the Red Valley and Rainbow Mountain tour. We did it by ATV and it was amazing. The guide was great! Explained everything and made sure we were very safe. The lunch and breakfast were incredibly delicious. You could eat as much as you wanted. It was also super healthy. Truly a top-notch tour, especially if you have already done a lot of hikes in Peru; this is a wonderfully different way to do things!

Great trip! Exactly what we wanted. Only small glitch in that we were on a Spanish speaking only group. Made us stretch our language skills.

It was a good time, worth every penny the guys were awesome.

We had problems with last minute hotel bookings but Jose Luis our guide, made adjustment for us and made sure will be picked up for early morning calltime. He tried his best to explain everything in English very nice! Our tour is on time!

So great, on time pick up , food was good, activity was fun and tour guides were great . Worth the time money !

Luis was an amazing tour guide! Very friendly, knowledgeable and patient!! Highly recommend this tour!!

Wow this place is worth the 3am wake up. ATV ride is fun. Our guide Carlos is the best explained everything. My wife suffered a bit of altitude sickness on the walk up and Carlos never left her side. If you have opportunity to go to this tour go for it.
