What to do and see in Machu Picchu, Cusco Region: The Best Multi-day Tours

July 5, 2021 Nicolette Lion

It's no wonder Machu Picchu is Peru's most-visited site. Dating to the mid-1400s, it's a marvel of mortar-free limestone architecture perched on a high plateau deep in the Amazonian jungle. Get there via train from Cusco or, if you're not faint-hearted, make the trip on foot via a multi-day hiking trail—you'll travel through deep Andean gullies and enjoy stunning views.

This agency is very competent! We had a great guide and driver and the price was very fair. The trek was beautiful and not very hard, a day is perfect. I would greatly recommend this agency to anybody searching for a well organized tour, in addition the agency pays their guides and drivers fairly and is sensible to the ecology.

Visiting Lima is always a rewarding experience! We booked an early evening visit to the awesome "Huaca Pucllana" inca ruins, rather impressive with the scenic lights on. Right after the visit, reservations were made at "Huaca Pucllana Dining Experience", a restaurant by the acclaimed Chef Marilú Madueño! No need to say we got a table almost in front of the main pyramid! What a feeling! We had a fantastic dinner, with courteous and kind service, a nice wine and Chef Marilú Madueño outstanding cuisine - Italian flavors and Peruvian touches. We loved the experience! Bon Appétit!

I can't express how incredibly grateful I am to TreXperience for an espetacular (one in a lifetime) experience. From the beginning each staff member I spoke with was responsive and helpful, starting with them combining 2 tours in 1 as an alternative to the Classic Inca Trail (which is currently close). The staff is highly professional, trustworthy and accommodating. I felt like all the staff genuinely cared, I was safe and comfortable at all times (even while camping). It was actually very luxurious from the incredible guide to the talented chef that created a feast at every meal (it was actually some of the best food I had while in Perù) and the friendly/helpful assistant. I would highly recommend TreXperience to anyone who wants to visit Perú. The quality of service, care and details are worth every cent (especially for a multiple-day adventure). It was beyond my expectations, truly perfection, mil gracias a todos!

I made a serious error when booking this tour. I had my days mixed up and was not able to do my full day tour as I arrived in cusco at noon. Happy Gringro could have just kept my payment and not honored my trip as it was my error in booking. They actually called me and made arrangements to Make a modified personal tour for me and my wife later the same day. That is customer service at its best. I had the error they had no obligation to help and they did. I strongly recommend this group. Marco was very knowledgeable .

We had a great day, without rain !! We did the short trail, it was a tough climb but it was worth the effort, the Laguna is very beautiful and the view you have from the highest point is spectacular, it is very cold and the height of the place if you feel when you walk The best thing is to drink a coca tea to avoid altitude sickness. If you don't want to walk, you can rent a horse, although you have to do the last section on foot anyway. The tour with South America Exploor is highly recommended !!
