What people love about Peru Tours from Cusco
- Inca Treasures - 6 Days
It was an amazing and fascinating experience! Justin was polite, efficient, good conversationalist and we learn so much about inka culture and nature during our trek. We highly recommend him and Waman Adventures!
- 5 days - Cusco & Machu Picchu & Rainbow Mountain & Humantay Lake
I can't say enough about how great the agency PV Travels were for my trip. I'm not a fan of surprises so I asked numerous questions in the months leading up to my vacation. Each time, the staff got back me quickly and answered all my questions entirely. They were professional and insightful. LUCIANA IS AMAZING! She met me at the airport with the driver on day one and went over my itinerary with me at the hotel. She even gave me restaurant suggestions based on what I was looking for. Each day I was met by tour guides on-time and enjoyed detailed excursions. Everything I paid for - I received. This was one great trip that I'll never forget. Thanks again everyone!
- 6 days - Cusco & Rainbow Mountain backpacker package
Great once in a life time trip. The tour company was great, excellent customer service, well organized. Always availible through Whats app during trip for questions/concerns. Tips: allow 2 days to acclimate, altitude sickness is a real thing 1st day long 12 hours but amazing, got back at 9 pm, hard to do Rainbow mountains the next day at 430 am we had to skip it. The day spent in cusco was amazing though. the mountain road to hydroelectrica was terrifying, I would recommend taking bus then train to aguas calientes. Google the mountain road, it is one of the worlds top 10 deadliest ( we didnt know this till after) Also if you dont want to hike 3 hours from hydroelectrica to aguas calientes along the railroad tracks make sure the train will let you buy a ticket. We got there in time for the 430 last train but they wouldnt let us buy a ticket because it was a "peruvian only train" it was half empty. Tour guide couldnt tell us why. I would spend another day in aguas calientes, it is a great city with hot springs. Machu Pichu was beyond words, great guide to the site was supplied.
