Long voyage but worth the trek

While a long voyage to Machu Picchu, it was worth the trek to get there. I took the Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu, which was a great experience. They provided the tour guide and helped with all travel to get up to Machu Picchu and then back down.

We booked this tour but due to issues at rainbow mountain and it being shut, we were given options on what we wanted to do instead! We ended up going to Palccoyo Rainbow Mountains instead and it was amazing!! Not so much of a tricky hike, beautiful views and our tour guide Mario

I really enjoyed the hike, it was a good mix of adventure activities and hiking. Accommodation was surprisingly comfortable and hot showers if you were lucky. The best part was the guide Daniel who entertained us from start to finish with humor and information

Best trip of my life!

This trip was amazing! It’s challenging but very do-able. We had people in our group ranging from 23-58 years old and I saw other people who looked older from other groups, it is for everyone. Our chef cooked seriously amazing food every morning, afternoon, and evening. I would compare the food to any upscale restaurant, and it was varied. The stops were plentiful, there were snacks offered for along the way. The porters (the men who carried our belongings, tents, and offered services) were incredible.

Amazing trek experience!!!

We did the 5 day 4 night itinerary, one day longer than the classic 4 day trek. We just wanted to spread the hike out a bit longer so the Trek days weren’t as tough. Our guide JC Zuloaga was amazing !!!! He gave us just the right bit of information about everything… Pointing out local plants.. fauna… Incan history…

2 Day Tour

I booked the 2 day tour and happened to have Raúl and Gary- who were absolutely wonderful. I had the best experience with Gary as our tour guide- very informative with the history of the Inka history and Peru. From the start of the pick up at our hotel to the very end of our drop off Gary was friendly and very enthusiastic showing us many new things about this beautiful country.

Must-Do Experience in Cusco!

Definitely one of the best and must-do experiences! We had Vicente as our guide, and his team were very personable, knowledgeable, and professional. He cared about the safety and comfort of the group, and the trip became more like a bunch of friends going on a trek together. The support staff carrying the gear throughout the trek were impressively fast and multi-talented, transporting the gear, beating us to the next stop, cooking, cleaning, setting up tents, breaking down equipment.

Getting around Cusco up to Sacsayhuaman

To getting around Cusco up to Sacsayhuaman without the amazing experience of walking up there before it has actually been acclimated to the altitude, you can take the Cusco tours bus wooden Tranvia Cusco, which takes a scenic drive through the historic center to Sacsayhuaman and returns almost every day.

Mountain disease
Soroche, or mountain sickness, is a reality for most people who takin most Cusco tours who normally live in low lands by sea level and must be treated with respect.

It is vital to take things slowly, not eat or drink much when you arrive, even sleep a whole day just to help acclimatize (coca tea is a good local remedy).

After three days at this height, most people have adjusted enough to cope with moderate increases at similar or lower altitudes.

Anyone who is considering attacking the main mountains around Cusco will need time to adapt again to their higher base before starting any Cusco tours, even if they are in the sacred valley.

Urban transport
The center of Cusco is small enough to walk. Taxis can be dropped on any street, particularly at the Plaza de Armas, Avenida Sol and around the Plaza San Francisco market; Tours in Cusco to Sacsayhuaman and Quenko.

The city’s bus network is incredibly difficult to understand, although it’s cheap and fast enough, but it’s also largely unregulated, with minibuses storing their destinations on the front windshields. More useful are the groups that run along Avenida Sol.

Tourist Ticket Cusco (Tourist Ticket – Cusco)
The Cusco tourist ticket is a vital purchase for most visitors. It is the only way to access most of the major Cusco tours in the city and region, and has useful maps and other information, including opening hours.

It does not give entrance to the Cathedral, the Church of San Blas or the Museum of Religious Art, each of which has a separate entrance fee. The ticket is, in theory, available on all ticket sites, but in practice it is better to buy at the tourist information office on Mantas Street.

The city
Despite the apparently complex structure of the street, it does not take long to face Cusco. The city is divided into five distinct main areas around various plazas, temples and churches, with the Plaza de Armas at the heart of it all.

The area south of the Plaza to Koricancha begins along the broad Avenida Sol that goes downhill and southeast from the corner of the plaza by the university and the Compañía Church to the Inca temple in Koricancha, the station of Huanchac train and to the airport in the south.

Running uphill and to the southwest from the top of Avenida Sol, the area that encompasses Plaza San Francisco and Mercado Central follows Calle Mantas past the Plaza and the Church of Santa Clara, and then continues to the Mercado Central and the San Pedro train station.

Just one block west of the central plaza, you will find the neighboring Plaza Regocijo, smaller and more leafy, which has Inca origins and is home to some of the best mansions in the city, as well as the modest municipal palace.

From the northeast corner of the Plaza de Armas, Triunfo Street leads uphill through a classic Inca alley of stone walls before passing through cobbled streets to the artisan neighborhood of San Blas.

Included on most Cusco tours is possible to visit the small but elegant Plaza Nazarenas, northeast of downtown. Going northwest on Plateros Street, uphill from the Plaza de Armas, you will pass some really charming streets that lead to the fortress of Sacsayhua
