10 Sightseeing Tours in Machu Picchu That You Shouldn't Miss

December 2, 2021 Fernanda Pittenger

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.

After a 10 day Traveling adventure with a group through another traveling group, my friend and I opted for a private tour of Rainbow Mountain! Unfortunately it snowed on the day we reserved our tour; however it was one of our most enjoyable days due to the kindness of our guide Richard. He was very informative regarding the history and culture of the area and people. We were able to see some beautiful sites on the way to and home. We met some local folks, stopped by a lovely place to eat Los Cabanas and have coffee. The food was awesome!! Richard took some beautiful photos and was patient with us when we wanted to stop to view some sights/alpacas!! The time with Cusco Holiday Peru Servicios Turisticos was one of our most favorite and memorable!! Thanks for such a wonderful time and adventure!!

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 !!

Cannot say enough great things about this tour. We had only a short time in Cusco so we did the one day tour from Cusco including Machu Picchu and the hike of Huayna Picchu. Joseth met with us at our hostel the day before our tour to give us our tickets, go over the day and answer any questions we may have had. The next morning at exactly 4am, a van was at our hostel waiting to taking us to the train station (shoutout to William the driver!) William made sure we found the train ok and then as soon as we got off the train in Aguas Calientes, our tour guide Andre was waiting for us. It was a private tour with Andre who was absolutely fantastic. Not only was the tour informational, Andre also covered all the really interesting cultural aspects of Machu Picchu. After a wonderful tour, Andre reviewed with us how to get back to Aguas Calientes and to our train on time. He left us at the base of Huayna Picchu to hike it. We had lunch in Aguas Calientes and made our way back to the train. At the station, there was another driver waiting for us who dropped us off at our hostel at the end of the day (around 8:30 PM). Joseth checked on us via WhatsApp during the trip to make sure everything was running smoothly. All of the staff was absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend!
