Red Valley and Rainbow Mountain ATV Adventure from Cuzco

Jose was our best guide ever. Such a positive and energetic person. Overall tour - amazing way to spend a day in Cusco. Highly recommend! Admission fees were clear, great atmosphere, positive vibes!, group size was manageable. Best for solo or couples.

A beautiful activity! José, our guide, was a genius; he detailed everything we were going to do on the tour. Then he went on to explain the historical part of what we were going to see. He supported us at all times so we could reach the top of the mountain and see the majesty of Vinicunca Mountain and the Red Valley. Martina and Miguelito

Jose our guide was phenomenal and full of energy! He gave us very good information during our visit. I recommend that you take this tour since it is full of adventure and beautiful landscapes while you ride the ATV up to the red valley to then see the 7-color mountain.

We took this excursion to the Red Valley and Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) on July 9, 2026, and the experience was simply unforgettable. The entire organization lived up to expectations: punctuality, good coordination, and an impeccable execution of the activity from start to finish. We especially want to highlight the work of our guide, José, who was, without a doubt, one of the main reasons this day was so special. He is an exceptional professional: attentive, respectful, approachable, always looking out for every member of the group, and willing to help and encourage at all times, especially during the demanding ascent to 5,100 meters of altitude. In addition to conveying safety and confidence, he demonstrated great knowledge of the surroundings, explaining the history, geology, and particularities of the place with clarity and enthusiasm. His personal treatment and dedication were extraordinary. People like him make the difference and turn an excursion into an indelible memory. The tour through the Red Valley and the arrival at Rainbow Mountain are spectacular. The landscapes are difficult to describe with words and make the physical effort totally worth it. The excursion included breakfast and lunch, both decent and well-organized, which contributed to the entire experience being very complete. As an area for improvement, we would point out only the facilities at the point where the quads are picked up. Since it is a place with a large influx of visitors and located at a considerable altitude, it would be convenient to have adequate and free public restrooms, or at least better-conditioned ones. Likewise, it would be highly recommended to install some shaded area, integrated respectfully with the natural environment, since during certain hours the sun is very intense and, after returning from the hike, the heat and fatigue are noticeable. Except for those small details, our assessment could not be more positive. The whole group, consisting of eight people, agreed that it was a magnificent excursion, very well organized and with an excellent team. We recommend this experience without any doubt and, especially, we congratulate José for his professionalism, his approachability, and the care with which he performs his work. Thank you very much for giving us a day that we will always remember!

The rainbow mountain and red valley tour was amazing, Anibal (tour guide) and Daniel (driver) organised the day perfectly with the activity and breakfast/lunch running smoothly. Anibal was attentive, outgoing and shared lots of knowledge about Cusco and Rainbow mountain he was the perfect tour guide

Great activity. Jose was a great guide. Despite the circumstances on the road, we were able to have a pleasant time.

If I could give 0 stars I would. This tour was booked by a friend for 2 people. He gave the pick up locations which were confirmed in a message including times for pick up at each. Passport details were shared for registration. I waited at my accommodation as planned at 4am (for a 4:10-4:15 pick up). No one came. They collected my friend & he spoke to them about when they were picking me up. They reaffirmed the booking etc. The guide on the bus spoke with his boss & all of a sudden they had no recollection of a second person despite a) having all the messages confirming all of the details b) having spoken with my friend about this on the bus c) the booking confirmation stating 2 people and having paid for 2 people. On trying to speak with the company about when they were picking me up they said they weren’t. My receptionist spoke to them and they flat out lied and said my friend hadn’t said a word on the bus and that there was no booking. They tried to blame us for this shambles. I should also point out my friend said the bus was full so they had also oversubscribed and there was no room for me anyway. This company lie, they can’t organise a piss yo in a brewery and I wouldn’t trust them as far as I could throw them. If they had accepted they made a mistake and then tried to rectify it maybe I’d be more forgiving but to lie repeatedly is a joke. I was later asked if I wanted to join the next tour. I declined because a) i wouldn’t be with my friend b) I don’t wish to give this company £1 of my money c) due to the lying I don’t trust them at all with my safety or anything else. An absolute shambles and I wouldn’t recommend them at all. Book with anyone else. They will no doubt respond to this with some nonsense but to be clear we had a booking, it was for 2 people, paid for 2 people, they confirmed pick up locations and times for each, took our passport details & then didn’t fulfil the booking. They lied about it & tried to blame us. Take your money elsewhere.

A great experience; I particularly highlight José's attention, who was attentive to me at all times, as I struggled a lot; without his help, I would not have succeeded. Thank you, José! Here is Naty from Chile, eternally grateful to you.

The experience is incredible. QORI INKA TRAVEL fulfilled what was scheduled. Very professional. The stops were of high quality for resting and enjoying good food. During the visit to the red valley and the 7-color mountain, the experience was spectacular. The guide José was a great support in the ascent to the mountain, always ensuring that everyone could accomplish the mission. 100% satisfied with the experience.

Finding trustworthy tour companies in Peru can feel overwhelming, but taking a chance on World Explorer Peru was one of the best decisions of our trip. They coordinated two of our most memorable tours, a private Sacred Valley tour and an ATV ride through Red Valley with the trek to Rainbow Mountain. We had the incredible luck of having Rudy as our guide both days. Rudy is funny, kind, and just an all around wonderful human. We loved him so much after day one that we begged to have him back for day two and Adolfo made it happen for us, which we are so grateful for. The Sacred Valley tour was beautifully paced and so rich in history and culture. Rudy had us laughing the whole time, including a running inside joke about a frog he spotted on top of the mountain that we were convinced he was making up. The included lunch was delicious and the whole day felt effortless. The ATV adventure through Red Valley was a completely different kind of thrill. I wasn’t comfortable riding on my own, and without hesitation Rudy let me ride as his passenger, never once making me feel like a burden. The entire time he kept a watchful eye on everyone in our group, always checking back to make sure we were safe. The trek to Rainbow Mountain was genuinely challenging at that elevation, but Rudy was endlessly patient with our breaks and our pace. When we finally reached the top, he quietly went and stood in the long line so we could catch our breath just so we could get that iconic photo. Those little details are why we insisted on having Rudy as our guide for two days. We left feeling like we’d made a lifelong friend rather than just hired a tour guide. World Explorer Peru’s communication was seamless and every detail was taken care of. If you’re heading to Peru, book with them. You will not regret it.
