Rainbow Mountain ATV Tour, Quad Ride and a Short Walk
From €60 per person
See availability →A Rainbow Mountain ATV tour where a 20-minute quad ride from the base leaves only a 5-minute walk, with breakfast, buffet lunch and photos beside the Hand of Pachamama sculpture.
On this Rainbow Mountain ATV tour the long uphill walk becomes a ride: you cover the last stretch on a quad bike and then walk only about 5 minutes to the viewpoint. The day starts with a hotel pickup and a drive of about 1.5 hours to Cusipata, where breakfast is served, followed by roughly two more hours through the Andes.
The road ends at the ATV station next to Heart Lagoon. From there you ride across the highlands for some 20 minutes with your guide, helmet on.
At the viewpoint you have time to look at the colours of Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca), with the Ausangate glacier behind it, and to take pictures at the Hand of Pachamama sculpture.
- Transport, a professional guide and a hotel pickup in Cusco
- The quad and a helmet
- Emergency oxygen and first aid
- A breakfast and a buffet lunch
After the visit you ride back to the station, where the vehicle waits, and stop again in Cusipata for lunch before returning to Cusco. The tour ends at the main square. It is a long day of about 12 hours, and entrance to the mountain is paid on the spot. Children under 5, drivers under 18 and people over 70 are not accepted.
