Embark on one of the most exciting adventures in Cusco with our ATV tour to Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) through the Red Valley. This full-day experience is perfect for thrill-seekers and nature lovers who want to combine breathtaking Andean landscapes with the adrenaline of riding quad bikes in the Andes.
Unlike traditional hikes to Montaña de 7 Colores, this tour allows you to explore more in less time, reaching spectacular viewpoints by ATVs (cuatrimotos) before continuing on foot to the iconic Rainbow Mountain Peru. Along the way, you’ll marvel at the stunning scenery of the Valle Rojo (Red Valley), one of the most underrated gems near Cusco, with its dramatic crimson peaks and surreal landscapes that few travelers get to see.
Your adventure begins early with pickup from Cusco and a scenic drive through picturesque Andean villages. In the town of Colca, enjoy a delicious local breakfast before receiving a safety briefing from your professional guide. From there, continue to Anta, the base camp for your quad bike adventure. With helmets provided, you’ll ride your ATV for approximately 40 minutes across rugged terrain, experiencing the freedom and excitement of driving through the Peruvian highlands.
The ride takes you to the second viewpoint of the Red Valley, known as “El Corazón del Valle Rojo,” a spectacular natural formation where you can take unforgettable photos and videos. After soaking in the views, continue with a short 30-minute hike to the world-famous Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca), where vibrant mineral-rich slopes create one of the most unique landscapes on Earth.
After visiting this natural wonder, return along the same route to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch before heading back to Cusco, arriving in the late afternoon. This Cusco Rainbow Mountain ATV tour is the perfect combination of culture, adventure, and breathtaking scenery—ideal for travelers who want to experience something unique and different from the usual trek.

To fully enjoy your ATV adventure to Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) and Red Valley, it’s essential to bring the right gear. Remember that this tour combines quad bike riding at high altitude and a short hike to Montaña de 7 Colores, so preparation is key.
👉 This Rainbow Mountain ATV packing list ensures you are well-prepared for the altitude, the ATV ride, and the short hike. With the right gear, your experience in the Valle Rojo Cusco + Montaña de Colores will be comfortable, safe, and unforgettable.
1. How difficult is the Rainbow Mountain ATV Tour?
This tour is easier than the traditional hike because most of the route is done on quad bikes (cuatrimotos). Only a 30-minute walk is required to reach the top of Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca). It is suitable for most travelers with average fitness levels.
2. What is the altitude of Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley?
Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca): 5,036 m / 16,522 ft
