      About this trip

       

      CUSCO CITY TOUR half Day tour.

      Cusco city tour is ideal for people that recently arrive in Cusco or want to know better the Inca city. We meet at the main office in Cusco at 13:30 to start our walking for 10 minutes to Koricancha, where the guide will explain you all the meaning about the attraction where you can appreciate a colonial temple built on the Inca temple, also you can see the colonial and Inca art. Then we take you by bus to Sacsayhuaman the most amazing Inca stonework. It is an impressive place even more than Machu Picchu. You will not believe how the humankind could build such incredible stony architecture. Then we continue to the caves of Qenqo. Where the Incas performed their sacrifices for their gods. It could also be a chamber of human sacrifices that Incas carried out human sacrifices as well. Then we continue to Pucapucara a red-colored construction that the Incas used as a point of control. The last one to visit will be Tambomachay where you will find beautiful water sources where the Inca king used to spend his days of relaxation and meditation. In the end, we will return to Cusco around 6:00 p.m. It is a tour that will help you to understand better The Inca Capital of Cusco and its surroundings, and it is also a preamble to begin to know everything we have as a city. If you have a free day, you can do this tour since it is not tiring because our cars will take you to every place you visit and it is good to be able to acclimatize easier to the altitude.

      We had an amazing trip! The guides (Omar and william) were the best we could have asked for, super knowledgable and helped us have fun even on the tough days. The chefs were outstanding and super hard working, as well as the other support staff. Highly recommend the 5D 4N salkantay hike. Muchachos!!

      Juancho was aan amazing guide. I work as a tourguide in Europe, so really critical ;-) But he did a reaaaally good job. He explains everything really clear and gives the group a good energy. 5 big stars for Juancho. He also organised a big surprise for my birthday. GREAT! One thing we think the tour can be better: the lunch at day 1 is too late. 7.30 breakfast and then at 3 o clock lunch and in between that massive hike… it is important to do lunch earlier. Maybe before starting the walk to the lake or with lunch packages.

      We had an awesome time on the salkantay trek with Eberto, our guide from Macchu Picchu reservations. Obviously a challenging few days physically and meant for people who don't mind an adventure on the rougher side of things, but everything was very well organized otherwise. A particular attention was given to the dietary restrictions of guests, which is not a given since you'll be eating 4k+ meters high in the middle of the Andes. We were also told that this company is one of the fairest ones when it comes to compensating its employees, which should be noted. Don't hesitate to book the trek with them!

      It was a nice experience! Our guide was cool and comprehensive. Our team was amazing too. The food was great but the last day we were in lack of few things … The accommodations, most of the time were quite ok, but the hostel at the end was not good at all. But regardless this, thanks for the trek :)

      We had the best time. Met some great people and had wonderful food. What the chefs can prepare up in the mountains is incredible! Abel was the most fantastic guide, so knowledgeable and supportive but also hilariously funny! He really made it special :) Couple of suggestions : pillows were only on one night so maybe suggest we bring one or provide one. Toilets at stop number 1 had no doors so would be nice to have some cover. Really great trip! Would highly recommend

      My girlfriend and I did the 4 days Salkantay trek. It was an amazing experience and was even better than our expectations. Our guide Alex H. always had a positive vibe and knew a lot about nature and culture. The accomodations are really beautiful and the food is absolutely delicious. Every time you arrive at a new spot, the chefs were already preparing a lot of healthy and delicous food. Your stuff is carried by horses and walking the trek is doable if you're medium fit. There is always an option to go by horse or train. Defenitely recomending!

      Recently came back from an amazing trip of 4 days! Beautifull scenery, good food and nice people (especially our guide Alex H!).

      Went on a 5 days Salkantay Trek with MP Réservations. Alex Human was an excellent guide, very energetic, professional and cultured. He was very interesting to listen to and made the toughest moments feel easier with his sense of humor. The food was prepared by a team of 4 cooks and was absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend the experience.
