What to do and see in Machu Picchu, Cusco Region: The Best Walking Tours
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 trek was an amazing experience! Eduardo was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable about everything we encountered. He answered all our questions and even helped with interpreting at times. Our trek was the first week of January, which was also a peak time for COVID-19. Eduardo was diligent with Covid precautions each day of the trek. He made sure to remind us to wear our masks in small towns, sanitize our hands regularly and prompted us to use our face shields when needed. We felt very safe and well taken care of with Eduardo as our tour guide. The downhill biking was thrilling and relatively easy. The intermittent rain made the experience even better. The company bus/van follows everyone as they bike down the mountain. The rafting was initially scary, but a very fun experience. The company went over all the safety precautions and provided all the necessary gear. 5 minutes after being on the raft, your fear will subside, and you will love every minute of it! There is a FULL day of hiking on this trek. It’s not a simple nature walk either. I would say more than half of the hike is at an incline. If you aren’t an avid hiker, I would definitely train for this trek. The views are beautiful and the foliage is vibrant. You will be exhausted after this full day of hiking, but you will feel so proud that you did it! The zip-lining was so fun! A little bit of a hike to get to some of the spots, but well worth it once you are flying above a river and through the jungle. The food throughout the trek was delicious! You always had enough to eat and it was always fresh! I didn’t expect to be so pleased with the meals, but I can honestly say the food was a trek highlight! On the final day, Eduardo accompanied us to Machu Picchu and did a wonderful job at explaining its history and architecture. This trek was an adventure of a lifetime! Things to know: - The tour company can safely store your luggage. - Pack light, you will have to carry everything you need for the 4-day trek. We each carried a backpack. (If you are lucky, you may be able to have someone take your backpack to the next city on the hiking day. Be sure to ask your guide about this.) -The showers might be cold. -If you are scared of heights, this might not be the trek for you. - You NEED sunscreen and mosquito repellent. - Take a poncho if you are going during the rainy season. CHOOSE THIS TOUR COMPANY AND THIS TREK!!! YOU WILL LOVE IT!

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!

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 !!

The hike was tiring but rewarding. Beautiful views. Took us about 3 hours roundtrip. Wear many layers. Our guide was friendly, not great English. The breakfast and lunch were okay, at the same restaurant. No toilet paper in the restroom. The roads were bumpy and the ride was uncomfortable. Our van broke down on the way back and we had to hop on another group’s van. They dropped us off at the town center rather than our hotel, so we had to walk back 12 min.

Back we had a delicious buffet lunch and then, we went back to Cusco, they left us at our hotel. Thank you very much Mr. Arturo !!!! we recommend Reserv Cusco !!!
