        Five stars Agency Cusco Peru 🇵🇪
        We had an incredible experience with Machupicchu Agency. Richard, Jhuliana, and Alex went above and beyond in providing a high-quality tour package. The hotels, restaurants, and tours in Cusco were five stars. My family and I are extremely grateful for the exceptional service and attention to detail. We especially loved the hotels near the main square and the daily tours to Cusco and Machupicchu. Thank you for making our family memories unforgettable.

        great agency!
        Super organized tours, they took care of their passengers and their specific limits related to altitude sickness (the way the tours were organized allowed for some breathing room between strenuous activities.)

        Wonderful trip organized by the team at this travel agency
        It was an amazing trip. Arturo planned a very organized itinerary and we stayed in beautiful hotels. Their guides, Ronald, Johnny and Celso were excellent, as well as Darwin our assigned driver. Alex was our contact all the time, making sure everything ran smoothly. Definitely it was a trip beyond our expectations! Thank you very much for all the wonderful experiences!

        Excellent Service and highly responsive correspondents
        We booked this last minute day before, and Viator had some issues and the confirmation had not gone through. After waiting well past the pick up time we decided to call the agency in which Arturo Cortez picked up and helped us with solving the issue right away! We were able to get a tour within 30minutes with his help as well as a small refund for the trouble we gone through. He is absolutely fantastic help, very responsive and would recommend the Manchu Picchu Agency 100%.

        Positive and negative
        We had a number of guides for our trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu. Our driver Darwin and guide for Moray/Cusco was excellent, very engaged and passionate. The one for Machu Picchu less so and direct feedback was provided. Our contact who handled the guides whilst amiable was a little on the brash side. At times we felt that he was doing us a favour rather than being his clients.

        This was my favorite place!
        A must when you are exploring the sacred valley. The tour is not very long and you can see something incredible. Over 3000 salt pools, where you can be lucky and find local people working (pools are private), and the view is amazing. You can also stop and try to see the little water river near some pools where the pool takes the salt.

        Stunning!
        We were all a bit surprised to be so blown away by a salt mining facility. However, the colors and reflections from the 3,000 salt wells was an amazing site.

        Great memories in Peru.
        Thanks for unforgettable moments. Now that I am in time at home, I am writing just to let you know, how happy we are.. for our experience that we lived in Peru, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, Humantay Lake, those places really were spectacular ... Greetings from Phillip, Rita, Heather, alicia and Sandra .. we really had a great time .. it is a fact that we will see each other again and will always recommend you, our very attentive edmundo guide is the best .. thanks machu picchu agency. Next time we would like to try Choquequirao tour or salkantay, that would be really a challange.. Hope edmundo can be our guide once again. also I would like to take the chance, that we have to be patient for what everybody are passing by in the whole world, and for sure this will past away soon. Cheers until then..

      The agency was incredible and gave us all the support. They quickly resolved an unforeseen issue I had and the guides went out of their way to make us feel special. I recommend Machupicchu Agency and will look for them when I return to Peru or visit other countries in South America.

      About the Mountain: it is one of the most memorable experiences I have ever had. The van journey to get there starts out beautifully; the views of the surrounding mountain and valley are also magnificent. However, it requires intense physical effort, it is essential to prepare before the trip and leave this tour for the final days, when you are more adapted to the altitude.

      Vale a pena todo esforço! O lugar é maravilhoso!
      Mas a caminhada é difícil. Tem a opção de alugar cavalos, o percurso todo é 60 soles, se alugar mais para o final do caminho é 20 soles. Mas a altitude realmente castiga.

      Having a Guide who besides being a great companion is a motivator ensures the success of the individual challenge, because it is not every day you climb 5,200 meters. Achievable challenge and a huge life lesson
