The best trip in Cusco!
New York City
Rainbow Mountain Beat-the-Crowd, Small Group – 8:00 AM Departure
P9899BKdianap, Sep 2026
The best trip in Cusco!
I highly recommend this tour because it offers everything you need! I also suggest starting the tour at 8:00 AM, as it’s less crowded, the lighting is perfect, and it’s much easier to tackle the trail when you're well-rested.First, you are picked up right from your accommodation at the exact scheduled time, and then you receive a small package with water and snacks to kick off the tour with energy. Trekking poles are provided, oxygen is available if needed, and last but not least, the staff shows incredible patience.Alex was our guide and he was the best. He was patient with everyone, making sure the experience was as smooth and easy as possible. Also, the driver—whose name is also Alex—was very attentive and skilled. To top it all off, we had an absolutely delicious lunch included in the price.In conclusion, it was an amazing experience and I truly recommend it!

Rainbow mountain experience
Had a lot of fun on the rainbow mountain tour! Our tour guide Alex was very accommodating and gave us snacks and waters and made sure we delt with the altitude correctly! Admission fee to the mountain was 30 soles and it cost 80 soles to rent a horse. Liked this one a lot because it was not crouded at all at the time we went.

Excellent tour! My wife and I are not riders for over 50 years. We found this tour and decided we would give it a try. We requested a private tour with gentle horses and that’s what was delivered to us.

Terrific way to see some Peruvian countryside, learn about Inca culture (fascinating!), and tour around with some beautiful, well-kept horses. Thanks for a wonderful morning. Highly recommend adding this adventure to your itinerary.

Horseback Riding Tour to the Devil’s Balcony from Cusco
Jamie_B, Sep 2026
Fun activity if you like trail riding!
This was a great way to end our 10-day trip to Peru. Pick up was easy and on time from our hotel near the Cusco city center. The drive to the ranch was short and pretty. Our hosts were gracious, the horses were well training trail horses, the scenery was beautiful. All in all, this was a worthwhile event and investment.

Unforgettable Huacachina Adventure!

2-Hour Dune Buggy Tour and Sandboarding
Debbie_B, Aug 2026
Unforgettable Huacachina Adventure!
Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! The dune buggy ride through the Huacachina desert was exciting, beautiful, and so much fun, and the downhill sandboarding was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Peru.My son Justice absolutely loved every minute of it and would have happily done it all over again the next day! Our guide and driver was fantastic fun, entertaining, energetic, and completely involved with the whole group. He made everyone feel included and truly made the experience special.The combination of racing across the dunes, stopping for the incredible views, and then sandboarding down the huge hills was unforgettable. We laughed the entire time and came away with amazing memories.I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Huacachina. One of the best things we have done in Peru so far!!! Now we are heading out for 10 more days of adventure 😀Debbie y Justice ❤️ Puerto Vallarta 🇲🇽

Rainbow mountain was an unforgettable experience! We did not do the whole hike, we took horse up part of the way. This was also an incredible experience. The views up top are breathtakingly beautiful! Many llama picture opportunities when you reach the top as well. Would highly recommend this tour.

Humantay Lake Tour from Cusco All inclusive
Andrea_H, Aug 2026
Go see this lake. It's beautiful!
This hike was a challenge for me, because I'm a little out of shape, but it was so worth it. Lake Humantay is absolutely beautiful and Leonardo and our driver were skilled in their efforts to deliver us safely to all of the destinations on the tour. The vegetarian breakfast and lunch were delightful. Upon reaching the lake, the shades of brown and teal were a stunning delight against a snow-capped mountain.

Once in a lifetime amazing expereince
This was an amazing full day experience never to be repeated for me so very special; it was a long day and very tiering but well worth it. My guide was excellent as was the driver. It was expensive for me as a solo traveller as no concession was made to reflect this.
