This one-day, group tour takes you to one of the most beautiful water bodies in the Cusco region. Your day starts early as we pick you up from your hotel at 4:10 am to start this amazing adventure. Drive out of the city to Mollepata, which takes around two hours. This is also where your breakfast and lunch are scheduled today.
Resume the journey after breakfast in Mollepata. It takes one more hour to reach Soraypampa. A short break in Soraypampa is followed by a two-hour ascent on foot. Your hike comes to an end high up in the Peruvian Alps, where melting glaciers feed into a glistening, turquoise body of water perched atop a hill.
You have approximately 40 minutes to enjoy the beauty of the majestic Humantay Lake, located 4,200 m above sea level, before we start our journey back to Cusco. The drop-off will be arranged at Cusco city centre (San Francisco Square) between 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm unless you have booked this trip as a private tour, in which case we will drop you off at the hotel.

With a stay in the heart of the jungle, plenty of pisco sours and some hot and heavy hiking on the Inca Trail, this trip is 15 days of exploring, drinking, eating and sweating (nobody said the trail would be easy, but boy is it worth it). Experience the real Amazon in a proper jungle lodge, follow in the footsteps of ancient people on the Inca Trail to Wonder of the World Machu Picchu and stay with a local family who live in a mud-brick house on the shores of Lake Titicaca. Hit the nightlife in Cusco, sail down the Amazon River in the pitch-black of night (look out for jaguars!) and experience an I’m-so-far-from-home moment with some new friends on an epic trek through Peru to Bolivia.

Although of a rather short duration, this five-hour, group tour nonetheless covers much of the important sights in and around the city of Cusco. Book with us to discover the highlights of the city that was once the capital of the mighty Inca Empire. Our representative will pick you up from your accommodation in Cusco at 1:00 pm. Hop into the shared transport and head for the famous Cusco Cathedral, built on the foundations of the Incan temple of Kiswarkancha in the sixteenth century.
See its magnificent chapels and altars before walking up to the temple of Qorikancha. Dedicated to Inti, the sun god in the Inca pantheon, this temple was the most important temple in the Inca Empire and was constructed with great care and craftsmanship.
Next, you will drive out of Cusco in a bus to see four incredible archaeological sites. First on the list is Sacsayhuaman, a fortified complex perched atop a steep hill built with rocks that weigh more than 100 tons each. Learn more about the history, culture, meaning and significance of this beautiful place from your tour guide.
Just five minutes away from Sacsayhuaman is Qenqo. See its sacrificial altar before heading out to the archaeological sites of Puka Pukara (a fort) and Tambomachay, the latter consisting of a series of aqueducts and canals that channel water from the nearby natural springs.
This tour comes to an end with a drop-off at the city centre (Cusco's main square) at around 6:00 pm.

We had a fabulous nine-day tour, including the two day Inca experience, Inca trail/Machu Picchu, and Rainbow Mountain. John, our contact, met us at the airport and helped us generally acclimate to the new culture.
We cannot praise Adolfo, our guide, enough for his knowledge, experience, and attentiveness to our needs. He was so fun to be with. Our driver, Edgar, was excellent. All over, a fantastic adventure.

There is more about the Incas than just Machu Picchu. Join us on this guided day trip to see Queshuachaca, the last operational Inca bridge. We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 6:45 am. Your first destination is the four lagoons, where you will reach after almost two hours on the road.
The Pomacanchi Lagoon is the largest and most important of the four. The other three are the Acopia Lagoon, Laguna Asnaqocha and the Pampamarca Lagoon. After enjoying some quiet moments near the lagoons, it is time to head for the Apurímac River where lies the impressive Inca bridge.
This hanging Inca bridge is made of vegetable fiber (ichu) and is located in the district of Quehue. The renovation and maintenance of this bridge is done once every year by members of the four communities living in nearby villages that use this bridge.
Cross the bridge twice before heading back to Cusco. Stop by to see the colonial bridge of Checacupe and learn more about the difference between the two. You will reach the city by 7:00 pm.

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.
