Popular Sightseeing Tours in Cusco

Breakfast and Lunch included, the latter being essential after a gruelling walk in high altitude conditions. Picked up from our hotel on a good old Sprinter, constant humorous feedback from our guide in Spanish and English. We travelled 90 minutes from Cusco for a carb loaded breakfast and then a further 60 minutes to base camp. Surrounded by other minibuses in bright, snowy conditions we began the nicely inclined walk to the summit with not quite the right clothing. This is a high altitude climb, 4200m to 5200m and it gets cold when the sun isnt out. Be prepared to layer up AND down as you walk. We gave up on the last 750m (and the summit) due to tired legs (huayna picchu and Machu mountain 2 days prior). Returned for an excellent lunch and then dropped off at our hotel. Amazing viewing, amazing mountains.. and 40 sol for a horseride to the top.

This tour is definitely worthwhile and good value for money. The guy that spoke English really well and the breakfast and lunch provided was very good . There were options to either walk the whole 2 to 3 km to the view of the mountain or take a horse for a fee of about US$30. It is a tough walk due to the altitude but take your time and taking all of the surroundings along the way . Was enough time to take it all In and get back to the room still in daylight . Can highly recommend .

Really great day. Early start, which actually wasn’t confirmed by our local guide so we was sat waiting 30mins at 4am. Was worth the trek to the top to see the views. Lunch was really nice too.

Getting to the top of the mountain at an elevation of 15,000 ft is what makes this tour incredibly challenging. Everything else went well. Our guide was very helpful and attentive.

Machu Picchu is amazing and a must-see. Purchase entrance tickets in advance is an more expensive but time-saving way to do.
