Excellent experience with Tayra Tours

5.00The agency was excellent from the start to the end of the trip. Available to ask questions and super attentive and concerned about the well being, mainly because they were tours that needed acclimatation. I did 7 days with amazing tours. Everything went exactly as planned and, no doubt, returning to Cuzco I will be again with Tayra Tours.
Great trip to Cusco.

5.00Spectacular trail accompanied at all times by the guide Hector. The hard walk was worth it when you came to the end and could contemplate the beautiful lagoon of Humantay. Thank you TAYRA for keeping such a close eye on us.
Perfect!

5.00The road was “weighed down” by altitude sickness But Felipe (the guide) was ALWAYS on the lookout for the whole group There is the option to climb on horseback (I did not) are 2hrs of walking, taking breaks and on arrival is a SPECTACULAR sight that compensates for any fatigue. Favio (my travel agent) kept an eye out if I needed anything and gave me some tips to climb
