Itinerary
- 1We will pick you up from your hotel around 4:30am - 5:00am and head south through the town of Urco to the Checacupe District (2 hours by bus) and then follow the path to Pitumarca where we’ll have breakfast. Then we continue along the road through small villages until we arrive to the community of Hanchipata - Quesiuno (1 hour and 20 minutes by bus), the ideal starting point to walk the route. We will see the incredible red valley and at the end mountains such as Ausangate, beautiful blue lagoons, and many other natural sites. The walk to Vinicunca (Rainbow Mountain) takes approximately 1 hours and 20min. At this peak we will savour the view for about 40min taking photos of the beautiful scenery before descending the path and returning to our bus. We will go back to Pitumarca to have lunch and then we’ll be on our way to Cusco, arriving around 4:30 pm in Down Town of Cusco.
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- A5603ZUmyriamr0 contributionsVisiting Machu Picchu with young childrenMy husband and I are avid travelers. However, we speak little Spanish and traveling with small children (4 months and 4 years old), we felt the need for a bit of extra guidance going to Machu Picchu. There a quite a few steps involved in getting to Machu Picchu and Mega Expeditions really helped in ensuring everything was aligned. Doing with small children was definitely unique and energy consuming, but with Mega Expedition’s assistance, everything went smoothly. The tour guide, Raul, provided lots of valuable information that made Machu Picchu really come alive and he was accommodating regarding the needs of our children.Written 12 October 2024
- Culture303882224260 contributionsChoquequirao an EPIC Adventure!Wow! This is the most amazing adventure! Four days of remote area and beautiful panoramas. The staff are awesome! They make sure that everyone is well taken care of and having a great adventure. The food is true Peruvian cuisine and is delicious! The other hikers were a great group. We became more like family with this great adventure! The city of Choquequirao is a fabulous hidden gem! Entering the gate to the city prepares you for the things to come. The spacious terraces, massive stones, and endless stairways radiate an energy of a powerful civilization. The sector of the llamas is unique and so wonderful! The trail to access this amazing city is equally impressive! It is a trial of strength, spirit, and pure determination. I was told it is rated the most difficult hike in Peru! If you enjoy hiking and are up to the challenge you definitely must do this adventure!Written 11 October 2024
- V7605QSmarinah0 contributionsGreat guide and great food.It was an awesome trip and hike in Choquequirao with our tour guide and his team. Choquequirao Wasi provided excellent service.And the food was great! Really appreciate the campsite people their hard work . Highly recommended.Written 11 October 2024
- L4255MUchrist0 contributionsIncredible and challenging trip - the hidden Incan gemThe Choqequirao trek was an unforgettable experience. Over 4 days and probably 70 kilometers through rugged trails in the Andes l, the hike was both physically and mentally demanding. The views were stunning and the isolation of the ancient ruins made it feel like you are privileged to be one of the people that gets to see it. Unlike Machu Pichu there was hardly any crowds so you have the opportunity to take pictures and appreciate the beauty and history. Our guide was very knowledgeable and spoke English and Spanish and added a lot of context to what is known about Choquequirao. Be prepared for steep climbs and long days, it is not easy to get there, but if you’re up for the challenge it’s absolutely worth it. Highly recommended for adventure seekers.Written 11 October 2024
- V7669QCrosem0 contributionsMachu Picchu on a budgetMainly booked this role because it was the cheapest option I could find, and I was going so last minute (booked it less than a week in advance). Honestly at first I was a bit sceptical about how good the experience would be but I have nothing bad to say!! The hike from the mini van- aguas calientes was rewarding, and although the mini van journey was long I actually enjoyed driving through the Andes, the views were great, and spending an extra day in aguas calientes was quite nice aswell. Everyone that helped me had amazing customer service and were so attentive and answered every question I had :))))) deffos recommendWritten 7 October 2024
- NickH11650 contributionsHad a great day outHad a great day out at Machu Picchu with Mega Expeditions. Everything was well organised and the guide at the site was excellent. Remember to take insect repellent as there are sandflies there. Highly recommend this company to take care of your visit to Machu Picchu!Written 4 October 2024
- DebSibson0 contributionsGreat tour Sacred ValleyThis company was the best we dealt with in Cusco. Nixon was extremely helpful, communicated effectively and made sure we were well informed prior to our tour. The guide was excellent! I highly recommend this tour and mega Expeditions!!!Written 29 September 2024
- U528BErobertd0 contributionsGreat sacred valley tourIt’s a fast-paced tour and that’s exactly what I like. Enough time to see the places without standing around bored. Very good value for money and a great way to see the sacred valley if you’re short on time.Written 26 September 2024
- johnlA7657RZ0 contributionsIncredibleThis tour was incredible. Very efficient and just the right amount of time at each spot. If you like something slower and more paced, they have other options. This was perfect for me though. Our guide Windsor was passionate about showing us every location and teaching us. He was able to answer every question we had. They have done a great job with this itinerary.Written 25 September 2024
- Global164676787860 contributionsGreat trip to sacred valleyThis trip worked perfectly for us as we got to see all the top sites in one trip. A bit rushed but still got enough information about each site to understand the historical significance of each place.Written 20 September 2024
- deepankarm20220 contributionsGreat tour, stay in Ollentaytambo if going to Machu Picchu the next dayThe agency reached out with detailed instructions the day before. Someone had reached out as soon as I booked this tour to have me choose between two different routes of the tour. I took the one that had more stuff covered but was very rushed. It was still great for me since I didn’t feel like I needed more time anywhere. The tour guide was great. His tour guide name was Willson, and he went through great details at all places we went to. Highly recommend this tour if you’re tight on time and don’t want to explore places that are 2-3 hours out by yourself. NOTE: If you’re going to Machu Picchu then you should do this tour and get off at Ollentaytambo. I came back to Cusco (2 hour drive) and then had to leave at 4 AM for a 2 hour drive back to Ollentaytambo because the train to Aguas Calientes (town next to Machu Picchu) goes from Ollentaytambo. Although then you don’t get to Pisac which was mind blowing for me so I’m glad I came back to Cusco.Written 20 September 2024
- GidaMan690 contributionsMachu picchuI had an incredible experience. From start to finish, everything was seamless and well-organized. The staff were professional, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist. Every detail of the trip was meticulously planned, ensuring we enjoyed every moment without any hassle. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a stress-free and memorable travel experience. Five stars!Written 14 September 2024
- Y7595DGchrisz0 contributionsThe Perfect Sacred Valley Tour!My brother and I did the Sacred Valley Day Tour and it was such a fantastic experience! Our guide was knowledgeable and we felt like we got adequate time at each stop to take in the sights. And Nixon helped to make sure our tour ran smoothly, that we had all the information we needed, and even gave us a cup of coca tea and some great advice on where to get high quality alpaca goods. Communication via WhatsApp made everything really easy.Written 11 September 2024
- yudis5330 contributionsAmazing Experience with Mega Expedition on the Salkantay Trek!Our Salkantay Trek with Mega Expedition was nothing short of spectacular. The trail offered breathtaking views each day, making the trek truly memorable. Nixon, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, providing us with valuable insights into the trek and local culture. The food was diverse and delicious, far exceeding our expectations. After long days of hiking, the places where we stayed were amazing—comfortably set up with everything ready for us to rest and recharge. This thoughtful preparation made a significant difference in our overall experience. We originally signed up just for the Salkantay Trek, but after seeing how great everything was, we decided to book a city tour with Nixon as well. The tour gave us a fantastic look at Cusco’s history and culture. Mega Expedition was super responsive throughout the planning process, making everything go smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend them for both trekking and cultural tours!Written 10 September 2024

Having booked Machu Picchu with Nixon before we left the UK, I was so impressed with his service that I booked this trip the day before we did it. On the day there was a minor issue but a phone call to Nixon and he sorted it immediately with no quibble whatsoever. The tour itself was fantastic. I caanot rate the trip or Mega Expeditions highly enough.

Very satisfied with the service provided by the Mega Expeditions team. We took three tours with them and they all met our expectations. In this specific case to Arcoiris Mountain, congratulations to the guide Cézar. Despite the long distance and time to get there, it was worth it. We took the quad bike option and it gave an extra adrenaline rush to the ride, not to mention that we avoided the soroche due to the effort of climbing the mountain on foot.

We had a great time! We booked with Carlos who was an excellent advisor, he gave us many tips about the trip and was very nice to us! Then the day of the trip to rainbow Mountain we have been picked up on time at our hotel, and we met Sonia, our guide, a very nice, energic and skilled young woman who encouraged every single one of us during the challenging hike to the peak of the Mountain. We greatly recommend this team and their organization!

Walk must be but be aware that it is not for everyone because the trail is very exhausting on foot and the horse riding or motorcycle options do not include the descent. So I strongly recommend people with mobility difficulties to inform themselves very well to avoid frustrations. After all the view is amazing and it is definitely one of the best places to visit in the region

We found this tour operator accidentally but no regret at all!
What I like the most about them - they do what they say, and it is very important for me. I was surprised that they requested a short online meeting before the trip, but it was really important not only for them but for us too. Described everything, replied to all question we had, arrange pick up time and location. And they are very punctual, if they say pick up at your hotel at 4:15 a.m. driver will be there at 4:15 a.m ., I love it.
Do you recommend Mega Expedition? 100% I would recommend them to my friend!
Well done Mega Expedition, thank you for everything!

Reservations were made online and meetings were held on site. We didn't understand Spanish. I only spoke a little English, but they were very polite! There were explanations using video, and I could understand it well. They gave me sound advice. The pick-up in the car on the day was accurate. It was hard to climb Rainbow Mountain, but with the support of local Guides, everyone was able to climb and descend safely!
It was such a lovely time ^_^

The day was well organized and efficient. Lots of communication and information prior to the day of. Our guide Erica was knowledgeable and very helpful. I lost my wallet at the mountain and she went back the next day and retrieved it from the local community. Mega expeditions, Nixon, then arranged to send it to my hotel in Lima. Great service, thank you Nixon! Amazing views, even if it was a cloudy day, totally worth it!

The communication with Cordially was great. He was always available to answer any questions I had. The trip to rainbow mountain started early, the guides were knowlegeable and friendly. The drive was interesting, got to see a lot of different terrain and mountains. Unfortunately I did not make it all the way to the top to see the rainbow mountain but I don't regret going anyway and trying as I still got to see amazing views and grateful to have experienced the welcoming nature from the people of Cusco!

After we booked this trip, I got a list of things that I should pay attention. The organizer even called me by himself to resolve my concerns about the safety. During this trip, the tour guider was always the last one to make sure all the team members were taken care of.the tour guider could speak both Spanish and English, which made my trip much more easier. The trip is wonderful. Thanks a lot.
