Top Cusco Hiking Tours

Great explanation of Peruvian products, both history and usage, by chef Dael in the vibrant central market. Followed by a great time cooking a 3 course meal together. Food was both beautiful and delicious. What a lovely way to spend a morning in Cusco.

We did the Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu (2D/1N) with Victor as our guide, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Victor was incredible from start to finish—organized, knowledgeable, and so easy to be around. He coordinated a seamless 4:00am pickup, transfers to the train, and then guided us through an amazing ~8-hour hike, sharing history, culture, and stories along the way that made the trail come alive. What really set Victor apart was how much he went above and beyond. He had dinner with us in Machu Picchu town, made hotel check-in effortless, and clearly communicated the plan for meeting up the following morning. The next day, he led an excellent, well-paced tour of Machu Picchu, gave us a fantastic lunch recommendation afterward, and then coordinated all of our transportation back to Cusco without a single issue. We started this two-day excursion on just two hours of sleep due to a flight delay and an early pickup, but the energy of the group—and Victor’s positive, calming presence—made the entire experience feel easy and fun. Everything was so well organized that we could just enjoy the journey. Highly recommend this tour and especially Victor if you want a stress-free, unforgettable Machu Picchu experience.

This tour was expertly held by Ronald, who took such good care of my son when he was feeling the altitude sickness during the market tour. He immediately got coco leaves, chocolate and a helpful smelling liquid called Florida water. Full recovery!! We then went to the workshop and made the most lovely meal. Ronald explained all the foods, traditions, and cooking techniques. Delicious fruits and cheeses for appetizers and then ceviche and stuffed peppers for dinner. We also made pisco sours and passion fruit drinks. So much attention to detail and history of Peruvian cuisine. Highly recommend!
