Travel Guide

Sacred Valley Tour: Pisac Archaeological Complex

The archaeological complex of Pisac is located on the top of a mountain from where a good part of the Sacred Valley is dominated. This wonderful place is formed by groups of terraces and architectural structures scattered on the slopes and on top of the mountain. Pisac is one of the most beautiful monumental centers of the valley because it combines the landscape with the impeccable finish of its buildings.

Sacred Valley Tour: Pisac Handicrafts Market

Located 30 km from the city of Cusco, the main square of Pisac is home to this colorful and lively market, where the most famous Cusco handicrafts made by Andean hands are exhibited. Among the handicrafts, the most outstanding are textiles, ponchos, bags, etc, and ceramic handicrafts, which are reproductions of Inca archaeological pieces, such as queros (ceremonial vessels), necklaces, etc. This fair is attended by merchants and indigenous artisans from many villages, dressed in their typical costumes.

Sacred Valley Tour: Ollantaytambo

Lunch at a local restaurant in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. In the afternoon we visit the Fortress and Citadel of Ollantaytambo, built to guard the entrance to this part of the valley and protect it from possible invasions of the jungle settlers. We will have the opportunity to walk through the streets of the town and get a clear idea of what this military, religious and cultural center was like during the Inca Empire.

Sacred Valley Tour: Chinchero

On the way back to Cusco we will visit the picturesque village of Chinchero, where the remains of the royal hacienda of Tupac Inca Yupanqui are located. You will admire its well-preserved Inca Wall in the main square and visit the beautiful colonial temple with interesting frescoes in the portico, built on the foundations of an Inca building. Transfer to the selected hotel in Cusco for overnight.

 Verified Best Tour I've ever had!
Américo gave us the best tour we could ask for.We  were 6 peoples, went por 10 days. He made so interesting every place we went with all the history and knowledge that he shared, so it felt different and special his treatment  instead of just going, take the picture and go. Also, the experience in the Salkantay trail  it was magical and authentic as if we were the Andean man. I was a little bit worried for my 9 y/o son because the route is of high difficulty, but Américo and his crew were very helpful  that made it very easy and pleasent for my kid, they answered all his questions and took cared of his needs.

The food  was delicious every day of the tour and made by a private chef just for us.  In short the crew made sure to cover all our needs. 
The whole experience made me fell in love of Peru and its culture. Everyone in my family was please and happy for the amount of details and care.

I would definitely repeat this tour. It exceed my expectations. I hope i can come back and hire KuskAndes Treck for another tour.

 Verified Machu Picchu alternative trek - Inka experience
Americo went above and beyond to make our experience in Machu Picchu unforgettable! We arrived to Cusco in the middle of the strikes closing the main roads and whilst many tourists ended up trapped, Americo organised an alternative route to make our trip possible. Highly recommend him!

 Verified Trek to Machu Picchu
Two summers ago my two girlfriends and I did the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu. It was simply the most magical experience of my life. This trek is not easy and the altitude is no joke. However, the accomplished feeling you receive when you finally catch a glimpse of Machu Picchu is unmatched and totally worth every mile climbed. We complete our trek with Terrias Vivas, and had some issues. But our guide, Americo, became like a best friend to us (it was only the three of us and the guide for our trip). I was so happy to hear that he recently opened his own trekking company because he is amazing! He is SO intelligent and can identify nearly every single flower, plant, bird, etc. that he sees. He has such a kind heart and I wish that everyone hiking the Andes had the opportunity to have him as their guide. 

In conclusion, this tour is definitely worth it. Again, Americo is incredible and I walked away with not only photos of incredible views, increased knowledge of culture and history, and full bellies but I also gained a great friend in the process!
