Top Cusco Day Trips

Be ready to wake up early. It's actually worth it so you avoid the larger crowds. Also, make sure you've had time to acclimate to the altitude before you go on this tour. We returned to Cusco from Machu Picchu the day before, and while in Cusco still got a slight annoying headache. I saw a few people throwing up. It can be a lot, so just prepare yourself. We had a great experience!

Amazing experience, totally worth it. Our tour guide, Wayra made it so enjoyable! It was a moderate to slightly difficult trek to the summit. No problem for the young people. Got a little crowded at the top, outstanding breakfast and lunch for the price.

The trip to Machu Picchu was well organized and instructions to get to all of the destinations on the tour were easy to follow. This ancient town is gorgeous and worth visiting. And afterward, there was plenty of time to roam the tourist town at the base of the mountain.

We had a great experience with Apu Asangate Trek during our visit to Cusco. The tour was well organized, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Our tour guide, Felipe, was excellent. He shared fascinating information about the Quechua community and culture, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. He also guided our group through Moray and the Maras Salt Mines, providing interesting historical and cultural insights at each location. We appreciate the company's organization and professionalism and would highly recommend Apu Asangate Trek to anyone planning a trip to Cusco. They helped make our visit a memorable one.

My wife and I had an incredible experience on the Rainbow Mountain tour from Cusco, and we couldn’t have been happier with this company. From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well organized and offered outstanding value for the money. Our hotel pickup was right on time, and the bus was clean and comfortable. A special thank you to our driver, Edwin, who navigated the winding, narrow dirt roads with confidence and care. At no point did we feel unsafe—his professionalism made the journey up the mountain just as enjoyable as the destination itself. Breakfast and lunch were both included at the same restaurant, and both meals were fresh, delicious, and far better than we expected for a tour. What truly made the day unforgettable, though, was our guide, Rogelio. He took the time to explain the entire itinerary so we always knew what to expect, and he was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the region. Along the way, he shared fascinating information about the Andes Mountains, answered every question our group had, and even gave us excellent recommendations for places to have dinner back in Cusco. If you’re lucky enough to have Rogelio as your guide and Edwin as your driver, you’re in for an amazing experience. The ATV ride was a fantastic addition to the tour. Not only was it a lot of fun, but it also made the climb much easier and helped reduce the effects of the high elevation. Overall, this was an outstanding tour that exceeded our expectations. It was well organized, reasonably priced, and filled with unforgettable scenery and great people. We even ended the day having made new friends. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cusco and looking to experience Rainbow Mountain!

We are a group of 4. We booked the trip 3 months before the trip, and they immidiately got the tickets for us, they reached out to us regarding the available route, and we wanted a circuit 2 ticket but unfortunately was sold out that day, and told us the earliest available day which is a few days apart than our intended day, so we made arrangement and we got the tickets!!! Before the day of pick up they sent instructions for the trip. We were picked up on time on our hotel on a private car. Our guide gary was very knowledgeable and guide us every step of our way. He even walk with us to the train and to the hotel. The hotel on aguas calliente has a very good location. It is near the station and the shops. Good river view and good breakfast selection. The machu picchu trip was amazing as always, but our guide gary is very knowledgeable and also knows where the good photo spots are and also offered to take our pictures. He was very helpful. And if we ever need something their customer service is just 1 message away. They respond easily. Like for example when we got out of the train we couldnt find the driver and they coordinated with him. All in all very good customer service and very good guide! Would recommend to my friends. Thank you to the activity provider for a very good tour

The trip started at 7:45 with a pickup from our hotel. Went to Pisco to see the Incan site, then went into the town of Pisco to shop. Continued on to Urubomba for a teriffic lunch. Not the standard roadside food, but real kicking great culinary experience. Then went Ollantaytambo to drop off a few of our group at train station and continued to the ruins near train station. Loaded up for return to Cusco, but wait…..one more stop at a really cool textile factory. Got back to hotel around 7:15p. It was a great day. Thank you Clara and our fantastic bus driver.

The Morsy Terraces and Maras Salt Pools were amazing to see. The genius of the Inca Civilization was on full display. We also saw an interesting demonstration of women cleaning and weaving Alpaca fibers. And a similar event in a shop selling Peruvian chocolate. The driver, Carmel, did a great job transporting us from place to place safely and quickly. Our guide, JZ, was very enthusiastic and each place. He provided lots of helpful insights. It was a lot of your for the price.
