1.Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain ATV Tour with Meals

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,060 reviews · 12 - 14 hours · from $76Our pick

Ride an automatic ATV from Kayrawiri toward Vinicunca, then walk to the famous striped summit at about 5,000 meters. Guides such as Cesar, Jose, Abel, and Angie handle safety, altitude checks, photos, and bilingual explanations. Breakfast and lunch are included, but bring warm layers and budget 25 soles for entry.

“Great trip, fantastic experience on the ATVs and felt safe the entire time. Breakfast and lunch were also good, good selection of food and the transport was good. The walk up to rainbow mountain after the atv can be quite tough with altitude but if you take your time more than doable for those with average fitness. Overall experience was great, was back in Cusco around 5pm after 4am start. Would recommend for a unique experience to rainbow mountain, the guide was excellent”

The boat was large and comfortable and we had the it all to ourselves.
