Rainbow Mountain Quad Tour
Tour Details
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at the scheduled time and head south by bus to the starting point of the adventure. During the journey, we'll stop for a delicious buffet breakfast featuring local and international specialties.
Next, we'll go to the quad bike base, where the guide will give you a short safety briefing and the necessary instructions for learning to drive the quad bikes easily. They will also provide you with all the necessary equipment, including helmets and gloves. Let's go!
We'll begin an exhilarating quad bike route along dirt tracks, crossing ravines, Andean communities, and high mountain landscapes. After the vehicle journey, we'll park and embark on a 45-minute hike to reach the main viewpoint of Rainbow Mountain, located at an altitude of 16 404 ft (5000 m). You'll have free time to enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views, take spectacular photos, and listen to the guide's explanations about the area's unique mineral composition.
We'll then begin the hike back to the quads and get behind the wheel again for the downhill stretch. After the quad bike tour, we'll refuel with a full buffet lunch before heading back to Cusco. We'll drop you off in the city center after approximately 12 hours of activity.
