“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”
