This Trek was amazing. I had done the short inca trail before but David, our guide, made it more memorable than the first. He was incredibly knowledgeable, beyond patient and brilliantly tempered. The organisation was flawless. Can't recommend David and his tour agency highly enough. Thanks so much guys.
This six-hour, guided, group tour will take you to two Inca highlights around Cusco. We will pick you up from your accommodation in Cusco at 8:00 am and drive you through the mountains to Moray, the first destination of this trip.
Once there, you will get the chance to learn more about the importance of this place and its function in the Inca era while taking some amazing photos. Located on a high plateau around 50 kilometres outside Cusco, Moray consists of several terraced, circular depressions along with an irrigation system and is said to have been used as an agricultural laboratory by the Incas.
Next, we will take to the town of Maras where you can see Spanish, colonial-style architecture. But more than that, Maras is famous for its salinas, or salt ponds. Take in the sight of more than 3,000 salt ponds dug down a canyon in terraces. These ponds are still being maintained and exploited by the local population.
It is time to return to Cusco after you are done seeing the two highlights. The transport will drop you off at the city centre (Cusco's main square) at 2:00 pm. However, if you have booked the optional private transport with us, we will drop you off at your hotel in the city.

Enjoy the best places of the Sacred Valley of the Incas in a Private Tour. Our representative will pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 am and drive you through the mountains on the way to Pisac. We will stop along the way at a viewpoint from which you can enjoy great views of the valley.
Once in Pisac, you can wander through its famous artisan market as well as its archaeological centre before it is time to continue to the town of Urubamba, where we will stop for an amazing buffet lunch in a nice tourist restaurant.
Next on the itinerary is the famous archaeological site of Ollantaytambo, known for its ruins of a massive Inca fortress. Learn more about the history of this place from your tour guide before we return back to Cusco with a stopover at Chinchero, a town known for its weavers as well as Inca ruins.
Your trip comes to an end at your hotel in Cusco at 06:30 pm.
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.

See terraced circular depressions that Moray is known for during your guided tour. These terraces are said to have been used for agricultural purpose. A quick descent will then take you to the town of Maras. Have your box lunch and continue to Salineras de Maras, a wonderful place with more than 3000 salt pits.

The Andean condor is the largest flying bird in the world and this private, guided trip is the perfect option for all the bird lovers out there who want to see these majestic giants soar over the Peruvian landscape.
Start your tour with a pickup from your hotel at around 7:00 am. Leave Cusco city for the archeo–astronomical centre of Killarumiyoq, located in Anta.
Head for the town of Limatambo after a guided visit of the centre and continue towards the department of Apurímac. Visit Tarawasi, which has one of the few remaining Andean cult structures. After that, it is time for lunch.
On the road again, we will arrive at the Huayronka Bridge and take a detour to Chonta. You will soon reach the area with three condor viewpoints. See giant Andean condors soaring over cliffs and canyons as you start your walk from the first to the last viewpoint, which takes around an hour. Spend two hours total watching the birds, exploring the area and taking pictures. We will drive you back to the city after the tour is over and drop you off at your accommodation.
Outside of Cusco lies a truly magical landscape of colored mountains and sweeping valleys in the Andes. While Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) has gained a lot of fame among travelers, thereby receiving hundreds of visitors on a daily basis, few travelers realize that there are multiple rainbow mountains dotting this other-worldly landscape.
Be part of this off-the-beaten-track experience and travel to Palcoyo during this day trip. Starting from the Main Square of Cusco, we will take you to Palcoyo where you can take pictures and enjoy this otherworldly landscape before it is time to travel back to the city.
Although not as popular as Vinicunca, Palcoyo, discovered only in 2018, is very similar to the well-known mountain. And since few travelers know about this, you can be assured of encountering fewer tourists when you are hiking through its landscape.
Do not miss out on this opportunity to visit Rainbow Mountain, one of Peru's most popular landmark, during a day trip. We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at around 3:30 am in the morning and drive you through the South Valley. The drive to the trailhead takes around three hours long. We will also provide you with breakfast along the way.
Set off on the hike following a lovely stream. Herds of alpacas and llamas will surprise you along the way. In case you are lucky, you might also come across chinchillas and vicunas. Enjoy views of Ausangate Mountain as you hike through villages and interact with the local residents.
Reach your destination after around 90 minutes of hike. See the Rainbow Mountains (5,020 m) and explore the surrounding landscape. You will spend approximately 30 minutes at the top before it is time to hike downhill, which takes around two hours.
Hop into the private ban and continue your journey back. There will be a stop for lunch before we head to Cusco. The total journey back to Cusco takes around three hours and we will drop you off at your hotel in the city at around 5:00 pm.
There are more than one colorful mountains around Cusco. Although not as well known as Vinicunca, Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain is an incredible natural landmark, a mountain splashed with stripes of different colors just like its more famous sibling. Book with us and get the chance to visit this less crowded but equally beautiful alternative to Vinicunca.
We will pick you up from your accommodation in Peru early in the morning and drive you south of Cusco. Travel for approximately two hours until you reach Cusipata, where you will have your breakfast. Your journey continues through the Cusco-Puno Road to Combapata, where we will take a detour along the left bank of the Salka River (it is a dirt road from this point on). Enjoy beautiful high Andean landscapes as the journey continues. You might even spot herds of alpaca and llamas if you are lucky. Reach Palccoyo after one more hour on the road.
The view of a colorful mountain strikes you right at the parking lot. You have ten minutes to get ready before we start walking. It takes a short, 40-minute hike to reach the main viewpoint from where you can see three colorful mountains as well as a valley swathed in red. Looming in the background is the mighty Ausangate Mountain.
You also have the option to take a short, 15-minute walk to the nearby stone forest from where the views are even more impressive.
Spend sometime admiring the beauty of the mountains before it is time to return. Take the same route back to Cusipata, where a delicious buffet lunch will be provided. Continue your journey to Cusco with the aim to reach the city by 6:00 pm. We will drop you off at your hotel on arrival in the city.
