Why choose a Cusco tour for your Peru adventure?

  • Expert guided exploration Cusco holds a complex history, and having a knowledgeable guide is essential. Our local experts provide accurate context on the Incas and the Spanish colonial past, offering a deeper understanding of the city’s heritage during your tours in Cusco.
  • Stress free and well planned itineraries From the classic City Tour to tours in Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley, we handle the logistics transportation, entrance tickets, and accommodations. We manage the operations so you can focus entirely on the trip.
  • Tailored experiences for every traveler Whether you require cultural immersion, an adventurous trek, or a luxury experience, we offer customizable Cusco tours designed to match your travel style and preferences.

A functional itinerary requires a minimum of 4 days. This timeframe allows for necessary acclimatization before attempting high altitude excursions. We suggest creating a schedule that starts with the City Tour, continues to the Sacred Valley, and concludes with tours in Machu Picchu. Shorter trips often compromise the experience due to travel fatigue.

No. Arriving in Cusco (3,400m) places physical stress on the body. We strictly advise against booking demanding Cusco tours like Rainbow Mountain or the Ausangate Trek immediately upon arrival. The safest operational approach is to spend the first 24 to 48 hours at lower elevations or doing low-impact cultural visits.

Planning ahead is mandatory. Entrance tickets to the citadel and train seats are subject to strict government quotas. For tours in Machu Picchu, we recommend securing your reservation at least 6 to 8 weeks in advance during the high season (May to October). Last minute availability for specific circuits is rarely guaranteed.

The difference is control over the schedule. Group tours in Cusco follow a fixed timeline to accommodate multiple passengers. Private services offer logistical flexibility, allowing you to adjust departure times, extend stops at archaeological sites, or modify the route based on your pace. For photographers or families, private transport is the more efficient tool.

This document is the logistical foundation for most Cusco tours. The Boleto Turístico is a mandatory pass required to enter the primary archaeological sites in the region, including Sacsayhuaman, Pisac, Ollantaytambo, and Moray. It is important to note that this ticket is not included in the standard entry for Machu Picchu. To execute a complete tour to Cusco, you must purchase this ticket physically upon arrival or ensure your operator has managed it as part of your package.

The Ministry of Culture strictly regulates visitor capacity for the Inca citadel. Demand consistently exceeds supply, especially during the dry season (May to October). We strongly advise finalizing your tours in Machu Picchu at least 6 to 8 weeks prior to travel. This lead time is necessary to secure specific circuit times and matching train schedules (PeruRail or Inca Rail). Waiting until arrival often results in sold out tickets and fragmented itineraries.

Efficient movement across the Andes requires reliable infrastructure. While public transportation is available, it is often slow and prone to delays. For travelers with limited time, relying on public buses can compromise the schedule. We recommend private transport services for your tours in Cusco, particularly for the Sacred Valley and remote trailheads. Private logistics provide control over departure times and allow for flexibility at archaeological stops.

Cusco sits at an elevation of 3,400 meters (11,152 feet). Physiological adaptation is a safety priority before engaging in strenuous physical activity. We recommend structuring your tour to Cusco so that the first 24 to 48 hours are spent at lower elevations or resting in the city. Do not attempt high-altitude treks like Rainbow Mountain or Ausangate on your first day. Proper acclimatization ensures you remain healthy for the duration of your trip.

Andean cuisine is a cultural pillar of the region. A comprehensive itinerary for Cusco tours should include local staples such as Cuy (guinea pig), Alpaca, and quinoa based dishes. However, we advise dietary caution during the first days of acclimatization. Opt for light, easily digestible meals to avoid putting stress on your body while it adjusts to the altitude. Exploring the local markets creates a more robust and authentic travel experience.
