Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need experience to ride an ATV?

It is recommended but not necessary. Before starting the tour, a brief instruction on how to ride the ATVs is provided, and specialized guides are available to offer technical assistance throughout the journey—especially if you book with a formal travel agency.

Is the ATV tour to Rainbow Mountain difficult?

The tour is of moderate difficulty, but some areas have uneven terrain, so being in good physical condition is recommended. It is not extremely difficult; if you have experience riding motorcycles, you will find it easier. However, keep in mind that this is not a regular tour—it is an adventure tourism experience and involves some risks. It is highly recommended to ride the ATVs with caution.

How long does the ATV tour last?

The ATV tour to Rainbow Mountain usually lasts between 12 to 14 hours, departing early from Cusco. The ATV riding time varies but generally lasts between one to two hours, depending on the company you book with. It is important to check the details of the services offered by different companies.

Is the ATV tour to Vinicunca Mountain safe?

Yes, it is safe as long as you follow the specialized guide’s instructions and use the protective equipment provided by the tour company. These companies typically have trained guides and proper equipment. Checking the condition of the safety gear is very important.

Can I do the tour if I suffer from altitude sickness?

Rainbow Mountain is located at an altitude of about 5,000 meters (16,400 feet) above sea level. If you are prone to altitude sickness, it is recommended that you acclimate in Cusco for one or two days before the tour. If you have health concerns such as high blood pressure or other conditions, consult your doctor. We do not recommend this tour for those with serious altitude-related health risks, as the high altitude and weather conditions can have significant effects.
