Top Cusco 4WD Tours - page 11

The ATV through the mountains is extremely fun - highly recommend. Wear glasses and full length clothes because you will get dust everywhere. Only recommendation would be to start the tour earlier because by the time we got to the salt mines the sun was setting a bit.

We absolutely loved this experience! It was so much fun and interesting as well. The person leading the workshop was so great and made it such a cool experience. We were so engrossed the whole time. The chocolate is also really delicious and great quality! Highly recommend doing this workshop while in Cusco!!

Fantastic overall market + cooking class experience and highlight of our Peru travels! Mauricio was an excellent chef and knowledgeable guide. We had a tour of San Pedro Market, from which we had the chance to learn about the culture and history behind the ingredients we were to use in the cooking class. As for the cooking class, the food was delicious and fresh, featuring local ingredients to make ceviches, a multi-component entrée, soup, dessert, and drinks, and could accommodate allergies / dietary restrictions in the group. The cooking class / dining room area was spacious and bright. Would definitely recommend this experience!

We had a fantastic trip with Roger as our trek leader. He was very encouraging, knowledgeable, and fun. He made sure we knew what to expect each day and how to be best prepared for the challenge of the trek. The food prepared by our chef, Leandro, was amazing! There were always multiple options, and it tasted so good. Nothing you would expect to be eating on a hiking trip! We were so impressed and very well fed! Roger has a lot of knowledge about Inca history, and we learned so much about the Inca people. His stories and explanations led up to the morning we spent exploring Machu Picchu, where he helped us understand so much more about Machu Picchu and the surrounding areas. The porters were incredible. They are attentive, proactive, and really take care of the group! I highly recommend TreXperience!!!

We just came back for our trip. Everything was perfect and smooth since the moment we were picked up at our hotel until the drop off When we arrived to Aguas Calientes, Miguel our tour guide Miguel was waiting for us. Miguel was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, super nice, patient and an excellent photographer. He explained everything about the beautiful Machu Picchu and made us feel entertained. We really enjoyed and recommend this trip.

This was hands down the best experience we had in Cusco, and that’s all thanks to the chef Ronald. From the moment we met him, Ronald was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He first took us through the Cusco public market and then to a local outdoor market where he personally shops for fresh vegetables. He explained everything in detail and made us feel like we were experiencing the real Cusco, not just the tourist version. What truly stood out was how generous he was. Even though it wasn’t included in the tour, Yohon bought us local sweet bread and different vegetables to try, simply because he wanted us to experience authentic flavors. He didn’t expect anything in return, he just genuinely cared about giving us a great experience. During the class, he was funny, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable. He walked us step by step through preparing the meals and shared cultural insights along the way. At the end, he even gave us a full list of receipts and told us to email him anytime if we had questions about recreating the dishes at home. We would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Cusco. This was the highlight of our trip and easily the best excursion we did.

I love travel but prefer to try unique experiences to better understand a culture when traveling. This cooking class was a great introduction to Peruvian cuisine. We purposefully arranged this on the first full day we were in Cusco because we knew we wanted to do something but were cautious because of the need to adjust to the altitude. This was the perfect choice. Going through the market to be introduced to various chilis, fruits, spices, etc. was fascinating and a feast for the eyes and nose. We then went to the Cooking space where we got to spend the evening with other travelers. We were all there for different reasons and from different part of the world. As we prepared each dish, we gathered around the table and experienced it together. The food was delicious and just right. I have taken other cooking classes before - but most we were spectators. This class stood apart from others because it was hand-on. I expect I will be implementing some of these flavors and cooking techniques into my own kitchen back home.

My sister, a friend and I traveled with Bamba travel company to Machu Picchu on the 4 day/3 night trek. I can’t say enough good things about the team that we were with. Our porters were amazing, helpful, and caring, especially Loco. They always had a smile on their faces! they worked so very hard carrying all of our equipment to each location where we camped. There were no alpacas, donkeys or horses used to carry the equipment. They carried 25 kg on their backs. I could barely carry 10 pounds in my day pack. They effortlessly ran up and down the steps. They made it look so easy even in the rain! They ranged anywhere from 20yo to 61yo. It was just amazing. Our chef Sanom, made each meal like a feast with minimal effort and equipment. Our team leader Edwin was fantastic. This trek was the hardest thing that I have ever done in my life. I was always last to camp, Edwin made sure that I was safe, he stayed with me and was my own personal cheerleader. He gave me the encouragement that I needed to finish each day. He was very knowledgeable. It was definitely fascinating to hear the history of the Incas and walk the same path that they did many, many years ago. As I said, in the beginning, I can’t say enough good things about the team we were with. I would definitely recommend Bamba travel if you’re thinking about doing the trek to Machu Picchu. Please pass along my thanks to the team. I never would’ve made it without them.
