We had the peak to ourselves - Guide was kind. The ATV ride was cold at 4700m up to the peak. He offered me use of his gloves. He took a lot of photos of our group too.
We chose this tour because the pick up time was 830am instead of the insane pickup times at 3am or 4 am. The crowds had left by the time we were at the peak. No jostling or queueing up to take photos. Granted it was a bit off season, we had the entire mountain to ourselves at the peak.

The BEST way to see Rainbow Mountain - maximum fun, minimum trudge - This is definitely the best way to see this iconic landmark - MUCH better than hiking based tours. Nothing can be done about the long drives - the mountains are where they are - but this tour makes getting there and back special. ATV guides were proper professionals - only 5 of us on this trip, but still had one guide to lead and another to follow, so kept everyone well looked after and safe. And taking local motorbike courier to the top is definitely the best way - they are massively experienced on doing this trip (I felt more comfortable as a pillion passenger with them than any bike back home) and it saves on an exhausting climb to the top (at over 5,000m the tours with walking up options are HARD) - so you get to spend your time having fun on ATVs and enjoying the amazing views…
Special mention for going the extra mile - one of our party didn’t want to ride down (bit nervous) so they let her ride tandem with a friend and sorted out getting her ATV back no problem.

ATVs to Rainbow Mt. - The ATV riding was amazing. I didn't feel like doing anymore hiking since I just got back from the Inca Trail. This was perfect. I was able to get some great shots of the Rainbow Mt even though it was cloudy. The clouds moved away at times so we could take some quality pics. The only thing that I wished was that the bus ride wasn't as long. Obviously, nothing could be done about this considering the mountain is where it's at, but def a must see.

The most fun I had despite my altitude sickness! - We spent 9 days in Peru - toured Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Humantay Lake - all of them stunning and unforgettable. But I have to say that THIS ATV tour to Rainbow Mountain was the most fun and remarkable experience my 18yo daughter and I had in Peru. Arturo and his staff are great - super professional and will take good care of you. I had really bad altitude sickness so taking the ATV to Rainbow Mountain was perfect. You can take the ATV up to a certain point. Then the roads get narrower so you can either hike rest of the way, or you can rent a horse or have someone take you up on motorbike. If you're suffering from altitude sickness like I was, you want to take that motorbike. You'll reach Rainbow Mountain in 10 minutes v. 30 min by horse. Rainbow Mountain is probably the highest elevation you'll go to - it's 16,000 feet/5000 meters above sea level. So every step felt like a struggle for me. Arturo knew about my altitude sickness. He checked in on me regularly and at one point gave me some oxygen so that I could feel less dizzy. Overall, this was just a great experience.
You do stop on the way to this place for breakfast and lunch. Seems like a spot that all the tours stop at for food and restroom break. I didn't particularly care for the food but that may be because of my altitude sickness.

Good value for money - A magical immersion into the vistas of the Rainbow Mountain Peru with Arturo our guide. he was genuinely passionate in sharing his knowledge about the place and local traditions. The views were incredibly rewarding. the best thing, we did not have to hike as we were able to get closer to the summit with our Quad Bikes. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who are willing to experience the beauty of the Rainbow Mountain without hiking a bit.

A funfilled and informative day tour with Arturo - A trip to remember. We did this after realising the trekking would not be our thing and it was a perfect thing we did. This tour was fun and interesting in its own way Inka Explorer was very nice and the guide, Arturo was simply amazing. I can totally recommend the tour and the company, especially Arturo if you are like us - want to visit the Rainbow Mountain in an easier way.

See Rainbow Mtn but choose carefully - 5 stars for Rainbow Mtn but be cautious using this provider. ATV were in good condition but departed at 3 am (got a call at 2:30 am to be early “ready in 15 min” but they showed up late after causing panic to hurry). Decent meals provided. Paid for hotel drop off but they decided to drive past and drop our family a mile away in the heavy rain (just told everyone they had to get off at a central point). If you’re after quality it may not be this service.
