Vinicunca ATV Tour

The ATV tour to Rainbow Mountain offers a faster and more adventurous  alternative to reach Vinicunca at 5,200 meters above sea level (17,060 ft). Instead of hiking for 1 hour, you will ride an ATV for approximately 20 to 30 minutes to a point near the Mountain. This ATV adventure is ideal for those looking for a Rainbow Mountain Tour with a more exciting and different approach.

RAINBOW MOUNTAIN ATV TOUR

The ATV tour to Rainbow Mountain offers a quicker and more adventurous way to reach Vinicunca. Instead of hiking uphill for 1 hour, you will ride an ATV for 20 to 30 minutes to the closest point to the Mountain of Colors. 

We will pick you up early from your hotel in Cusco at 4:00 a.m. and continue through the South Valley. During the 2-hour journey, we will observe different landscapes until reaching the district of Pitumarca, where we will enjoy our Andean buffet breakfast. Then we will pass through Checacupe and head to our base in Ccairahuiri. 

At the base, the guide will provide instructions on how to operate the ATV. After a safe practice session and receiving approval from the instructor, you will drive the ATV for 20 to 30 minutes uphill until reaching the closest point to the Rainbow Mountain in Vinicunca at 5,036 meters above sea level (16,522 ft). 

Our guide will explain the mountain’s orography, ecosystem, and colors, which are the result of the oxidation of different minerals present on its slopes. From this point, you will have a view of Apu Ausangate at 6,384 meters above sea level (20,945 ft) and also the spectacular Ausangate mountain range full of glaciers and colours. 

Once the visit is completed, you will return riding to the base to leave the ATV and then start our journey of return with our stop at the restaurant in mid way to enjoy a traditional lunch. In the afternoon, we will return to Cusco, arriving at approximately 6:00 p.m. near the Plaza de Armas.

1-Day Rainbow Mountain ATV Itinerary

We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 4:00 a.m. and continue through the South Valley. During the 2-hour journey, we will observe different landscapes until reaching Pitumarca, where we will have breakfast. Then we will continue through the district of Checacupe, Known for its three bridges representing different historical periods: 

  • Inca Bridge: Built in 1448 with braided straw and vegetable strings, it is part of the Qhapaq Ñan (Royal pathway of the king). Its construction is a replica attributed to the Inca Wiracocha. 
  • Colonial Bridge: Built in the 16th century with stone, reflecting Spanish architecture of the period and the introduction of the arc architecture to the Andean world. 
  • Republican Bridge: Its metal structure represents modern architecture. 

After taking photos, we will head to our base in Ccairahuiri, where the guide will provide instructions on how to operate the ATV. Instead of hiking uphill for 1 hour, you will ride an all-terrain ATV for 20 minutes to reach 7 Colors Mountain in Vinicunca at 5,036 above sea level (16,522 ft). 

Our guide will explain the orography, ecosystem, and colors of the mountain, which are produced by the oxidation of different minerals. The slopes display colors ranging from red, purple, green, pink, and yellow.

From this point, you will have a view of Apu Ausangate at 6,384 meters above sea level (20,945 ft), known as the “creator of the waters.” Its glacier melt forms the Vilcanota River, which runs through the Urubamba Valley and eventually to Machu Picchu.

Once the visit is completed, we will descend for 20 minutes by ATV to the base to leave the vehicles and then transfer to the restaurant to enjoy a traditional lunch.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR VISITING RAINBOW MOUNTAIN BY ATV

Before taking an ATV trip to Rainbow Mountain, travelers should understand the cost, total travel time, weather conditions, high-altitude difficulty, and what to bring for the excursion.

How much does a Rainbow Mountain ATV tour cost?

The currently published rate is US$120 per person for the group service and US$255 per person for the private service, with a minimum of two travelers in either case. The rate includes transportation from Cusco, buffet breakfast and lunch, a guide, the entrance ticket, the ATV, and safety equipment. Prices may change depending on the season, availability, or local fee adjustments, so travelers should confirm the final amount before making a payment.

How long is the Rainbow Mountain ATV tour from Cusco?

This is a full-day trip that usually begins at around 4:00 a.m. Transportation from Cusco, breakfast, the ATV ride, the visit to Rainbow Mountain, and lunch bring the total duration to approximately 12 to 14 hours. Travelers generally return to Cusco between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m., depending on traffic, weather, road conditions, and the pace of the group.

Does the ATV take you all the way to the Rainbow Mountain viewpoint?

The ATV ride takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes uphill and reaches the closest authorized point to Rainbow Mountain. However, travelers should not assume that the trip involves no walking at all, as there may be a final section on foot over steep or uneven ground. The exact walking distance depends on the route in use, trail conditions, and the authorized ATV parking area, so it should be confirmed before departure.

What is the best time of year to visit Rainbow Mountain?

May through October generally offers drier weather and a better chance of clear mountain views. June, July, and August can be especially cold in the early morning and usually attract more visitors. Rain, fog, hail, or snow are more common from November through March and may partially hide the mountain’s colors or affect road access. Travelers should check the forecast and confirm current access conditions one or two days before the trip.

How difficult is Rainbow Mountain by ATV?

Taking an ATV significantly reduces the amount of hiking, but the excursion can still be challenging because Rainbow Mountain is located at roughly 5,000 meters, or more than 16,000 feet, above sea level. Travelers should allow time to acclimatize in Cusco, move slowly, and immediately tell the guide if they feel unwell at altitude. The tour page sets a minimum driving age of 16 with adult consent, and all drivers must follow the instructor’s safety directions.

What should you wear for a Rainbow Mountain ATV tour?

Wear several layers, including a thermal or long-sleeve base layer, a warm fleece or jacket, and a windproof and waterproof outer layer. Comfortable pants and closed-toe shoes with slip-resistant soles are recommended. Travelers should also bring a warm hat, gloves, sunglasses, sunscreen, water, a small backpack, and the passport or identification requested for the trip. A rain poncho and waterproof protection for personal items are especially useful during the rainy season.
