Ride an automatic ATV from Kayrawiri toward Vinicunca, then walk to the famous colored ridge at roughly 5,000 meters. This 12 to 14-hour day includes Cusco pickup, breakfast, lunch, safety gear, and bilingual guides.

“Such an amazing experience! Everything was super well organized—pickup was on time, breakfast and lunch were great, and our guide was super friendly and helpful with the altitude. The ATV was tough in the snow but so worth it—the views at the top were unreal. Definitely recommend this tour! - Vaishu & Rhea”

You’ll ride a single or shared ATV from Cruz Pata toward Moray, with about 15 minutes of training before the route. Guides such as Joel, Carlos, Alex, and Floyd are praised for safety and clear explanations. Maras follows by van, viewed from outside its salt terraces.

“Excellent. We went in Morey by quad, it has been a very nice experience with a very professional guide (just remember to bring something that you can get dirty because a lot of dirt comes in). Then we went by car to visit Maras salt pans that are incredible and the guide gave us a lot of details.”

“My husband and I were scheduled to do this tour but unfortunately got stuck in Aguas during the fatal train accident so we didn't make it. Fortunately a sweet angel named Carla messaged me to reschedule our tour, as well as check in on us to see if we made back to Cusco. Once on the tour on Fri, my husband and I had SO much fun. We spent way too much money at the first stop (oops my fault 🤭). chocolate and bath salts for me, cooking salt for him. Then to the salt mines, which was cool to see from an aerial view. And then off to the…”

It was my first time driving an atv and I couldn’t recommend it enough! The lake was stunning and the abode of the gods was very cool too!”

Mini Buggy GO KART in Paracas National Reserve

7.Mini Buggy GO KART in Paracas National Reserve

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 98 reviews · 2 hours

Take control of a two-person mini buggy for a two-hour ride through Paracas National Reserve. An instructor gives safety guidance, then you drive to Yumaque Beach, Red Beach, and the reserve’s upper viewpoint. This is an off-road adventure, not a cultural tour.

“Liked most: Guide offered to take pictures so we had an impromptu photoshoot. Easy to learn how to drive on it. Improvement: a bit bigger buggy. A bit of an explanation at each stop and why it's interesting/special about it would've been appreciated. More control over the group, one driver decided to overpass another and went into the next lane while on the actual road, could've been dangerous.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 60 reviews · 12h 30m · from $77

Ride an ATV across the high Andes toward Vinicunca, then walk about six minutes to Rainbow Mountain for photos and free time.

“Driver was obnoxiously loud!!!! As a dr, I’m actually worried that he is deaf or actually just rude! Traveling around the world, never dealt with someone so loud, laughing loudly ….. (I understand he appeared happy and maybe the culture is a little bit louder)……but this was bad. Get his hearing evaluated, tell him to be quiet…..or get a new driver!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 53 reviews · 6 hours · from $40

I’ll take you from Cusco to Cruz Pata for ATV training, then across Sacred Valley tracks to Huaypoo Lagoon. After the ride, you’ll view Maras salt ponds by bus. Guides such as Floyd and Carlos have earned praise, but transport quality can vary.

“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 47 reviews · 10 to 11 hours (approx.) · from $99

This full-day Cosmo Expeditions trip takes you from Cusco toward Vinicunca by van, then along an ATV route that cuts down the steep hiking. You get Peruvian breakfast and lunch, a helmet, oxygen, and first aid support. Guides such as Chaski and Flavio have been praised for attentive help.

“Chaski (tour organizer) and his partner literally nursed me back to health when I was unable to go on the tour due to altitude sickness. I have never experienced that level of kindness and concern from total strangers. Fortunately, my friend was able to go as he didn't get sick and said the atv ride is super fun, the journey is gorgeous, and the altitude is no joke so be sure you're acclimated to Cusco before going. The guide was friendly and the food was tasty with lots of options. 5 out of 5 would recommend.”

Paracas or Pisco: Private Huacachina Oasis Tour & Buggy Ride

15.Paracas or Pisco: Private Huacachina Oasis Tour & Buggy Ride

Travel privately from Paracas to Ica, visit a traditional winery for wine and pisco tasting, then explore Huacachina Oasis by foot and dune buggy. The one-hour desert ride includes sandboarding and a sunset stop. The vehicle transfer is private, but the buggy portion may be shared with other visitors.

“Lo único privado es el transporte desde y hacia el Oasis, el resto del tour no es privado, sino tercerizado con otras empresas en donde hay más turistas. El tour está bien, pero demasiado caro para lo que fue.”
