5.00Our family had a wonderful experience with Cusco Andean Tours. The coordination was smooth, professional, and very attentive to every detail. When my wife wasn’t feeling well, they immediately helped us adjust our plans with great care. I especially want to thank Richard for his excellent work. His dedication, last-minute coordination, and genuine interest in making everything go perfectly made a big difference. A truly outstanding professional who represents the company in the best way possible. Highly recommended!
100% recommend, if you travel with family.

5.00The road is to enjoy, it can be heavy if you do not like walking but for that you can rent a horse that leaves you almost about to reach the top... The last few meters is the hardest but totally worth it
The best family trip

5.00It is a high-effort activity, since due to the height it is usually quite difficult to breathe... but it is worth it since the attention you get from the guides, the advice they give you helps a lot Tip: wear the right shoes and clothing, take a day to acclimatize to the altitude and follow the advice they give you... it's definitely worth the experience to reach the end.
Excellent Service and Attention
