Make sure that when booking a tour in english, the tour guide is fully knowledgeable. There are different tour guides and those fully knowledgeable of the english language usually charge more.

Everyone who visits Cusco wants to visit Machu Picchu, of course. But there are only 2 ways to get there: trekking or taking the train.
If you don't want or don't have time to do the trekking your only option is the train. Well, there's a monopoly for the train service, which can make it a bit expe…

1 1/2 years ago my brother bought me a 4 day hike on the Inca trail for my b-day/xmas present (best present ever BTW). The tour company was SAS travel. Let me just say, well worth the extra pesos to get a reputable company to guide you on this magnificent hike through the Andes. The guide, Oz, wa…

Check out tika tours - tikagroup.com.pe - for great tours throughout Peru! I went with them, and I really loved every aspect of my week-long trip, minus the extensive time with tour guides in some museums.

Most times, you will be expected to pay for the picture you took of the lady holding the cute lamb, etc. Many o…

It's nice to walk in Cusco, Peru. Cusco is a great place to experience. The thing about it is that you must go back up-hill at some point. If you get the urge to become lazy, take a taxi cab. The rates are ultra cheap. I paid something like 1 sol from a restaurant to my hotel. 1 sol is about 1/3 of …

I had a fantastic experience trekking the Inca Trail in July/August last year, the guides and porters were peerless. The food that was prepared on the trek was unbelieveable, 2 and 3 course meals for lunch and dinner. The porters work superhumanly hard, they made me feel inadequate, the lack of oxyg…

If you don´t want carbonated water, be sure to specify ¨sin gas¨. I didn´t, and I had a very unpleasant experience.
