Premium: ATV to Vinicunca rainbow mountain
- 10k reviews 13.5 h
Why do we call it Premium? Because you’ll spend more time riding the quad bikes: an average of 45 minutes to 1 hour on the ATVs (each way).
Additionally, the quad bikes won’t drop you close to the mountain but instead at a point 30 to 40 minutes on foot from the Rainbow Mountain. This is perfect for adventurers who want to experience a hike at over 5,200 m.a.s.l.
If hiking isn’t your thing and you’d prefer a more affordable option, sign up for the classic quad bike tour to Rainbow Mountain. In this option, the quad bikes will drop you just 5 minutes away from Vinicunca.
