Though they may not make the list of big-hitter Incan sites in Peru, the ruins at Moray and pre-Inca salt mines of Salineras are no less fascinating than their more famous counterparts. Discover these off-the-beaten-track ruins on this day tour from Cusco, which also includes a visit to the quiet colonial town of Maras. A guided tour makes it easy to explore less-frequented locales and includes informative commentary and round-trip transportation from Cusco.

Inclusions: Transport, Bi-lingual Guide (English & Spanish)

Exclusions: Entrance Moray 70 Soles, Entrance to Salinas - 10 Soles

Adolfo is the most attentive guide you will ever have in any vacation. The World Explorer crew was available to us 24/7 via phone and Whatsapp so it was always easy to communicate. The tours where very organized and on time. The guides where extremely helpful when it came to explaining but also had a lot of patience when it came to waiting for the group to take their photos. The food offered in the tours is delicious and clean. The prices were amazing, even if you are to sign up for a private tour i doubt you could find something cheaper of the same quality anywhere. There are many things to do in Cuzco, from the sacred valley, to the salt mines, the city tour, the rainbow mountain, Machu Picchu and many other activities. If you want a full complete tour, look no further than world explorers.

Tour Sacred Valley of the Incas. It is composed of numerous rivers that descend through gorges and small valleys; It has numerous archaeological monuments and indigenous peoples. That was Sacred Valley. This valley was much appreciated by the Incas due to its special geographical and climatic qualities. It was one of the main production points because of the richness of its land and place where the best corn grain is produced in ancient Peru.

For many visitors to Peru and even South America, a visit to the Inca city of Machu Picchu is the long-anticipated highpoint of their trip. In a spectacular location, it’s the best-known archaeological site on the continent. This awe-inspiring ancient city was never revealed to the conquering Spaniards and was virtually forgotten until the early part of the 20th century.

We had a great experience with this tour agency very personalized, just great! During the trip, my kids and I fell ill due to altitude sickness, Johan help with acquiring transportation to the hospital, he was there every step of the way making sure we were all ok. After a couple of days, we continued with our tour to Machu Picchu as planned. Nothing but great things to say about this agency. I recommend it 100%

Para algun@s esto puede quitarle mucho a la experiencia, especialmente si lo que buscas es una conexión particular con el entorno, experimentar la inmensidad de la naturaleza y lo pequeños que somos los humanos. En este sentido, Palcoyo ofrece un hermoso aislamiento que es difícil de conseguir en Vinicunca. Así que si lo que quieres es más silencio y menos personas a tu alrededor, inclínate por Palcoyo.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Guía , Breakfast, Lunch, Ticket de Imgreso a Palcoyo

Exclusions: Asegúrate de traer mucha agua, Use un buen par de zapatos para caminar, Ropa de abrigo, incluyendo un sombrero, guantes y bufanda de protección solar, gafas de sol.

On this tour you will be able to see villages, beautiful adobe style houses, herds of llamas and alpacas and you will have magnificent views of the Ausangate peak (6,385 m / 20,945 ft.), the highest snow capped peak in Cusco region. Enjoy the natural colors of the rarely visited Rainbow Mountain Tour, walk through some isolated communities, in which you may interact with the local people who are still keeping the old traditions of andean people. NOTE: Rainbow mountain it's very high place (16700 ft), Chaski Green recommend do this tour after couple days of adjusting your body to the altitude, you can first do tours around Cusco city or go to Machu Picchu. If you do not want to have altitude sickness. Then you can do Rainbow mountain.

Inclusions: Private transportation, Breakfast and lunch

Exclusions: Gratuities

Everything was handled seamlessly even when local politics shut down the railway and caused my itinerary to be turned on its ear. They adjusted the timetable and was able to get everything rebooked and the train up and back to Aguas Calientes ticketed so we didn’t miss a beat. Marcelino guided us up Machu Pichu and was the so accommodating, patient and outgoing with an incredible knowledge of the site, Inca culture and it’s history. I was so excited to finally make this journey but at 62 and quite out of shape I had multiple concerns, one of which was my recently rebuilt knee, but Marcelino got me a hiking pole and was so encouraging, understanding, patient and helpful and before I knew it I had reached the citadel. The experience was everything I had waited 48 years for. I could not have done it without his support, both mentally and physically. That was 2 years ago we still communicate on a regular basis. I’m always happy to get a message from him. This enthusiastic, nimble man, who could run up the mountain like it was nothing, took the time to make my experience amazing. Traveling can be difficult but but you will never regret booking your Machu Pichu adventure with Marcelino Alcca and Chaski Green!
