We are very happy to have booked with this company. We did the two day hike to Macchu Picchu it was amazing. My guide, Domingo, was well informed about the area and history and was able to answer my (incessant questions). The pace was quite easy (I am reasonably fit). The camp was the best, there was so much food, too much food! The chefs and porters made the hike so easy. Domingo told me that this company is the only one that offers a personalized and quality service and really encourages its employees to contribute to the idea of the company and encourages them to work in the company, that's why he liked to work there. It's good to know that employees like the company. I could not think of a better way to spend my birthday. Thank you! Machu Picchu Travel Peru for this experience I will never forgetANTuan45

We use the Machu Picchu Travel Peru agency to organize the 2-day trek to Machu Picchu for us. Our guide, Domingo, provided a very insightful and detailed service that allowed us to complete the hike (private and personalized team of 4), enjoy local food (lunch at the camp, dinner in Aguas Calientes and lunch at the end of the trip) and make new friends along the Inca trail. The perfect weather on day 1 allowed us to take many photos; day 2 very impressive apparently we have an unforgettable sunny weather. The food was fantastic in Aguas Calientes was the best we have had in our lives. Machu Picchu Travel Peru Highly Recommended ... :).Daret10

My husband Julio and I decided to make the short Inca trail and Machu Picchu (2D / 1N) 2 days ago Our guide Juan Carlos was very professional with us, not only took care of us and did the cultural tour, but it was also very nice to have a local guide with whom we could talk about the region, its city, Peru ... We really enjoyed The whole trip We spoke in Spanish, the guide was fully competent in English. The short Inca trail itself is a wonderful experience, since the road is almost empty and gives you the opportunity to visit other temples and explore the nature of the region. We had the opportunity to see Machu Picchu in the afternoon arriving through the Puerta del Sol and take wonderful photos. We are very happy to make the tour with him we are shocked with everything lived in Peru. Machu Picchu Viajes Peru was also very useful throughout the organization and they were extremely patient in answering all my questions.derekii

We did the Inca Trail tour and Machu Picchu 2 Days this last June. This not only was the tour perfect from pickup to drop off but our guide (Juan Carlos) and his team (chef Sabino and the porters) went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The hike was tough but the positive energy and encouragement made our team do more than I think many believed was possible. I want to say thanks and I will highly recommend this company Machu Picchu Viajes Peru to all my hiking friends in the future. Thanks again and we hope to come back Cusco soon.rominam624
