    2 day Inca Trail Highly recommended!
    I had a great time visiting the Machu Picchu ruins and the mountain for two days and one night.TERRA QUECHUA PERU did an excellent job, everything was very well organised and the team really took care of everything (e.g. airport pick up service, local tips in Cusco, morning pick up, transportation, etc.). As we walked along the trail, the guide Martin Llanos really took the time to tell us about the Inca history in very good English, we also had time to take pictures or just enjoy the stunning surroundings, I would definitely repeat and totally recommend doing the 2 day Inca Trail with them.

    Excellent and reliable
    We had the most amazing tour ! We contacted them after a recommendation from a friend who had also done machu pichu with this company. We arranged from the uk and it was all very easy to organise. They went over and above to make sure we had the most incredible experiences. They welcomed us at the airport with homemade bouquets which was so lovely after such a long flight. The tour we went biking, white water rafting, zip lining and trekking to machu pichu which of course was the highlight! we stayed in lovely accommodation throughout and everything was so well organised. Please don’t hesitate in booking you will have a brilliant and unforgettable experience !

    Inca Fortress
    This Inca Fortress is another amazing piece of architecture near Cusco. It is mind boggling how they were able to build this.

    The most amazing experience ever I highly recommended
    We booked the short Inca trail for 2 days and 1 night starting in July with a friend (Joe & Paul ), since we meet the first time we feel so secure that we choose the right travel agency, the service was really excellent. The tour guide name Wilder was very knowledgeable and fun to be with, the food that we have the first day was so good, and the hotel exceeded our expectations. I highly recommended

    great trip
    Bring some good shoes, Dress in layers. Carry yourself a day pack and bring water and snacks. Get your reservations in advance because the government is limiting the amount of people per day who will visit MP. I suggest you getting a guide which are usually standing around in the MP township.

    The Best Way to See Machu Picchu
    Daniel (A.K.A. Papa Llama) was the best guide I could have possibly had on this adventure. His enthusiasm was through the roof, and he was very knowledgeable. Expect in-depth information about Inca ruins, scary true stories, some amazing food, and an opportunity to learn about and experience Pachamama. Truly a 10/10 experience.
