Good to know
Rainbow Mountain is our most popular, but Humantay Lake and the Sacred Valley are equally spectacular. If you are acclimatizing, the Sacred Valley or Maras & Moray are gentler choices.
Most high-altitude trips start very early, between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m., to reach the viewpoints before the crowds. City and valley tours start later.
Most full-day tours include breakfast and a buffet lunch. Exact inclusions are on each tour page — tell us any dietary needs.
Yes. We recommend at least two days in Cusco before any high-altitude day trip. Our guides carry oxygen on every departure.
Absolutely. Every full-day tour can be arranged as a private departure for couples, families or groups.
Tell us your dates and group size — we’ll recommend the perfect full-day tour and handle every detail.
