Cusco · QUAD BIKES
The 15 best quad bike tours you can book today, with what each costs, how long it runs and who it suits. Number one is top for a reason; start there.
Ride a single or shared quad bike from Cruz Pata to Moray, with about 15 minutes of training before the route. A guide such as Carlos, Joel, or Floyd leads the way, then you visit Maras salt mines by van from a viewpoint. Expect dust, mountain views, and a long but rewarding day.
“Great way to see the more of the sacred valley. The guide was fantastic and everything ran smoothly.”
Take a Honda TRX 250 ATV from Cusco through the Sacred Valley to Moray and the Maras Salt Mines. Guides such as Wilson, Gustavo, Joel, and Floyd provide safety training, site information, photos, and local tips. Expect mountain views, some dirt, separate entrance fees, and about an hour of riding.
“well organised tour from start to finish. tour guides was really friendly and informative. 100% recommend”
Leave Cusco before dawn, ride an ATV through red mountain country toward Rainbow Mountain, and arrive ahead of the crowds. Edgar and Angie are among the guides praised for clear help and warm service. Breakfast and a local lunch in Cusipata are included, but bring 25 soles for the community entrance fee.
“Today we visited the Rainbow Mountains and it was a truly amazing experience, made even more special thanks to our guide, Angie. She was always attentive to each one of us, present every step of the way with care and discretion, and guided us with both professionalism and warmth. Angie shared the history and curiosities of the place with passion, encouraged us during the tougher parts of the hike, and made sure everyone was feeling well – always with a smile on her face. An excellent guide in every sense: knowledgeable, empathetic, and genuinely passionate. Thank you, Angie – you were a key part of a day we’ll never forget!”
Drive your own single or double semi-automatic ATV from Tica Tica through villages and mountain trails. After practice, ride toward a scenic lagoon, then visit the Abode of the Gods, where modern stone carvings honor Pachamama, the puma, and Inca culture. Guides speak English and Spanish.
“We had heaps of fun doing this tour. We didn’t expect to be riding the ATVs for the whole time so that was a lovely surprise. The guide was all over it, full of info and always up for a laugh. We did it as a group of 3 of us all in mid 20s. Highly recommend doing this through these guys you won’t be disappointed”
Ride a Honda TRX 250cc ATV from Chjua-Mahuaypampa through rural Sacred Valley tracks to Moray, then visit Maras Salt Mines by van. Your English or Spanish-speaking guide provides safety training, equipment, and help on the road. Expect mountain views, dust, mud, and a moderate six-hour outing.
“This was a great short half day trip to the salt mines & Moray! The ATVs were a lot of fun as we went through little towns and the country side. It was beautiful! I would highly recommend. Our tour guide was wonderful & and pretty good photographer!”
Start at 7:00 a.m. from Cusco’s Plaza Regocijo and ride an ATV from Cruzpata toward Moray with a bilingual guide, helmet, gloves, and fuel included. Visit the circular Inca terraces, then continue by vehicle to Maras Salt Mines before returning to Cusco around 1:00 p.m.
“Great tour. Everything well explained in English. Got a long time on the ATV. Really enjoyable and great value. Both places visited on the tour very nice.”
You’ll leave Cusco for Pitumarca, ride an ATV toward Vinicunca, then walk about six minutes to the colorful ridge. English and Spanish guide Raphael, breakfast, lunch, oxygen, and fuel are included. Hotel pickup is offered on most departures, but the 8:30 a.m. shift meets at Plaza Regocijo.
“Kurzform Regenbogenberge und die Quad Tour erlebnswert, Durchführung + Kompetenz Guide unprofessionel. Buchung englisch Verlegung des Treffpunkts Guide Raphael per Whats App gebeten 10 Minuten vorher hiersein. Tourbeginn 15 Minuten später unkonsequent Tourbus, war alt, eng ungepflegt. Die Begrüßung von Raphael war die Wiedergabe des Buchungstextes zur Veranstaltung auf spanisch und englisch. Restliche Hinfahrt Verteilung 90 % spanisch 10% englisch. Mittags Buffet grottenschlecht. Zur ATV Tour trotz Schneefall die Reise wert. Zwei Influencerinnen die Raphael nicht in den Griff bekommen hat. Dadurch Verzögerung Rückfahrt um fast eine Stunde (Berufsverkehr). Guide bei der Rückfahrt mit diversen...”
Ride a single or double ATV from Cruz Pata to Huaypo Lagoon, with views of Verónica and Chicón. After the off-road route, visit a Maras salt-mine viewpoint with a bilingual guide such as Floyd or Carlos. Bring sun and rain protection, and allow extra time for transport.
“Overall is a good value for the money. The stop at the lagoon is basically a toilet stop for an additional 5 soles: a waste of time before arriving back to base in 5 minutes after that. Maras is a second part, on a bus again. Cool place.”
Travel from Cusco to Vinicunca, eat breakfast and lunch in Cusipata, then ride a single or double ATV toward Rainbow Mountain. You get a short walk to the viewpoints, dramatic Andes scenery, and guides such as Angie, Franklin, or Rick may assist on the route. Plan for cold, fast-changing weather and thin air.
“We booked this because of the great reviews but our experience was not aligned with the previous reviews. I’ll start with the pros and then describe the cons and why we wouldn’t recommend this tour. To start off, the food was good and varied. The ATV ride was super fun and the actual experience on rainbow mountain was very enjoyable. However this portion was only 20% of our experience, with the remainder of the experience being spent in an uncomfortable bus. The seats in front of us were broken so they reclined all the way, leaving us with no room for our legs at all. We were stuck in this…”
Spend about 10 to 11 hours reaching Vinicunca by van and ATV. You get Peruvian breakfast and lunch, a helmet, oxygen, and first-aid support. The route cuts down the long hike, but altitude, cold weather, and nearly eight hours on the road demand preparation.
“It’s a very long day. Bring plenty of water and snacks. Being there to see the mountain in person is worth the long drive.”
Ride a Honda TRX 250 ATV from Cruzpata toward Moray, then visit the Maras salt pools by vehicle. A bilingual guide such as Felix or Lizbeth leads the day, which ends with a private llama picnic at Mountain View.
“Thank you for everything, very good Tour, thank you to the Lizbeth Guide for the support, for guiding us and making us feel good in your land. I recommend it.Auto-translated”
Ride a single or double ATV from Cruz Pata through Andean villages to Maras and Moray, then visit the Maras salt mines by minibus. Alex and Edgar are among the guides associated with the tour. Hotel pickup, helmets, gloves, and bilingual guidance are included.
“The guides were fantastic, knowledgable, are very talented photographers! I highly recommend this trip for anyone who has a half a day free, and the ATVs are very easy to use!”
You’ll ride a quad through the Cusco countryside, visit Moray’s circular Inca terraces, and see the Maras Salt Mines above the Sacred Valley. A bilingual guide leads the stops. Confirm the ATV route before booking, since one recent departure rode only to Moray.
“The day did not follow the itinerary outlined in the activity details. The description stated that the ATV excursion included riding the ATV to both the salt mines and the Moray Inca ruins. However, we only rode to the Moray Inca ruins. I specifically selected this excursion because it advertised riding the ATV to both locations. Had we known that the ATV ride was only to the Moray site, I would have chosen a different ATV tour offering the same experience at a lower price.”
Join a 12-hour Cusco outing to Rainbow Mountain with a 50-minute ATV ride, a short walk to the viewpoint, traditional breakfast, buffet lunch, and an English- or Spanish-speaking guide. Expect cold high-altitude conditions, an early start, and a long return to Cusco.
“This was a fantastic tour, even if it was definitely challenging at times. The altitude makes everything harder, but the guides were excellent—they were constantly checking in, making sure everyone felt okay, offering help, and keeping the group motivated. Their professionalism and friendliness really stood out throughout the day. It is a very long day, starting in the early hours and finishing late, but the scenery and overall experience make it completely worth it. The landscapes are incredible, and reaching the viewpoint feels like a real achievement. The only small negative was the slightly unclear communication regarding the pickup location. It caused a bit of confusion at the start, bu...”
You’ll leave Cusco before dawn, ride an automatic ATV for about 30 minutes toward Vinicunca, and hike the final uphill stretch at 5,200 meters. An English or Spanish guide provides instruction, while breakfast, buffet lunch, helmets, gloves, and oxygen are included.
“Avevo prenotato l’escursione con mesi di anticipo Un giorno prima mi comunicano che il pick-up sarebbe stato alle 4 del mattino anzi se potevo era meglio partire alle 3 Faccio presente che per me anche alle 4 era prestissimo anche xche c’erano molte altre agenzie che partivano alle 8 Partiamo e il viaggio che doveva durare 2:45 dura addirittura 4 ore Arrivati finalmente a prendere i quad scopriamo che il percorso sarebbe durato 15 minuti e che poi avremmo dovuto camminare per più di due ore a 5000mt Tanto che una persona del nostro gruppo pensando come noi di fare una gita in quad è stata male Alla fine siamo…”
Pick a citadel, a ridge or a kitchen.
