This was a wonderful trip. Lake Titicaca was stunning. Palccoyo Mountain was beautiful & a great introduction to high altitude walking. But the highlight was walking the Inca Trail & reaching Macchu Picchu. It was worth the 4 days of trekking to get that first glimpse through the sun gate. It was simply stunning. Our guide, Will, was exceptional. He took such great care of everyone in the group & shared the highlights of his wonderful country with us. All of the accommodation was great & the camping whilst on the trail was comfortable. The team of porters & cooks were simply brilliant (so much food!) I hope all of the trek team get a fair wage as the work they do is back-breaking. A couple of tips: go a night or 2 earlier if you want to see a bit of Lima. I flew in a day before the group flight & enjoyed seeing the best of the city (2 days was enough though). I’d also recommend getting the train between Puno & Cusco. It was a stunning journey & such a great way to see this beautiful country. If getting to Macchu Picchu is on your bucket list, do it, you won’t regret it.

This was an excellent trip in every way. The leader Alejandro was outstanding- very caring, helpful , informative and well-organised. Peru is a varied and interesting country and although Machu Picchu was spectacular there were many other highlights to our tour. The itinerary covered a lot of ground but it was not too rushed with a good mix of organised activities and some free time. The transport by bus and train was comfortable and the hotels were good and well-situated.

Salkantay Trek To Machu Picchu

My girlfriend and I just came back from our amazing 4 weeks in Peru. We went from amazement to wonder across many different landscape and cultures. And without any doubt, our trek to Machu Picchu with Carlos and his team was the highest point (both literally and figuratively). The organization was impeccable. We were provided with everything we needed, assisted by the team with every questions, both prior and during the trip. The sleeping locations, and the activities proposed, were all unique and made you feel closer to the wonderful and various scenery all along the trek. Helping with this organization was our two horsemen, Gilbert and Jos, that did an impressive job, bringing our stuff when and where we needed them. 5 days of trekking is hard, and a good meal at the end of the day helps a lot in recovering. The food prepared by our world-class chefs, Gido and Elvis, was simply among the best dishes we had, in terms of taste, variety, colors and quantities. This trek brings you through sacred Apus (mountains), in the wilderness of the jungle and all its secrets to end up in this magic place that is Machu Picchu. And all covered with Quechuas culture, mythology and science. We experienced it fully thanks to our amazing guide Carlos the mountain king. He created a very familiar atmosphere between everybody from the very first moment, and rewarded us with all his knowledge of the fauna, flora, local cultures and history that brought a whole new level to our experience. This trek is an amazing experience and I would recommend it 100%. It is strenuous, with very long walking days, but the treasures and natural beauty that you find along the way are worth every drop of sweat. SULPAYKI WAIKIS to all team for this amazing adventure.

An excellent introduction to Peru. While the highlight of the trip was our visit to Machu Picchu this was a well constructed itinerary with so many highlights covering the landscape, wildlife and history of the country. The accommodation, transport and food were of a high standard, of course with some variations depending on the local environment. The tour leader, Hector, was exceptional, both professional and personable and did his best to maximise our experience. Our concerns with the effect of altitude were needless since every effort was made to ensure full acclimatisation. We also benefited from a lovely group of fellow travellers from the UK and Australia. We flew out a day early so that we could look round Lima and would highly recommend. We also took the Amazon extension staying at the Inkaterra Field station which were enjoyed although there were shortcomings in the itinerary against that described in the brochure. It is also worth considering the optional trips on the second day of Machu Picchu: although it says that this needs to be selected at the time of booking some of the group had been able to book this at a later time. Finally, we have done a number of Explore trips and would rate this one in the highest category.

Arturo was a fantastic leader and guide. Knowledgable, helpful, caring, experienced and amusing. This was my 11th Explore holiday and Arturo is up there with the best guides. The porters and cooks are heroes - we were very happy to tip them generously. The itinerary was perfect, though no one should underestimate the challenge of around ten hours walking on day three. Cusco hotel staff were fine but the layout around a central atrium means the rooms are very noisy. The hotel near Machu Picchu was lovely but the staff were rude, unhelpful and disinterested. Overall I’d fully recommend this trip - but be sure to get into shape beforehand and consider your kit carefully.

Cusco City Tour with Family-Style Lunch

Trip customizable

Best price guaranteed

Your tour starts with a walking tour to visit the principal local market, San Pedro. Then, walk around Cusco’s city center, visiting the beautiful main square and the Cathedral of Cusco, which holds many archaeological artifacts and relics. Among them is a famous painting of the Last Supper by Marcos Zapata, showing Christ and the apostles eating a guinea pig. Continue your tour to the huge Inca ceremonial center of Sacsayhuaman, which overlooks the city of Cusco. Then visit another important Inca site known as Qenqo, which houses subterranean passages and a mummification site. After that, you will make a short visit to the archaeological Inca site of Tambomachay, a temple dedicated to the god of water. We will have a lovely home-style lunch, in the heart of the traditional neighborhood of San Blas, in a picturesque, rustic courtyard surrounded by cherry trees and tumbles. Perfect for an outdoor lunch next to the wood-fired oven accompanied by a melodious Andean harp. After lunch, we will return to the city center, where you will visit one of the most sacred Inca buildings, the Temple of Qoricancha. Within its walls religious ceremonies were constant, and offerings to the Gods and the Inca’s mummies were made each day. After the city tour you will be dropped off at your hotel.
