DIRECT TOUR OPERATORS: We are direct tour operators of all the experiences we offer, which means that when you book with us, you travel directly with our own team, not through intermediaries or third parties. Unlike many companies in Cusco that only resell tours, we organize and operate our services ourselves, allowing us to provide better coordination, personalized assistance, and a higher standard of quality throughout your journey. Only a limited number of tourism companies in Cusco are true direct operators, and we are proud to be one of them, offering greater transparency, reliability, and the confidence of knowing that your experience is managed by local professionals from start to finish.
COMPETITIVE AND TRANSPARENT PRICING: As leading tour operators in Cusco, we are able to negotiate preferential rates for the benefit of our clients, allowing us to offer fair, competitive prices in line with the local market. Our prices are real, transparent, and free of hidden charges or last-minute surprises. In addition, the inclusions of each tour are carefully designed to cover everything necessary, ensuring a comfortable, complete, and worry-free experience without unnecessary extra costs during your journey.
SKY STAR DOMES: A UNIQUE SALKANTAY EXPERIENCE TO MACHU PICCHU: Our Salkantay Trek, one of our best-selling experiences, offers a truly unique and exclusive adventure to Machu Picchu. We are the only company that includes two nights of accommodation in exclusive crystal domes, strategically located along the Salkantay route. This unique infrastructure allows our travelers to enjoy the perfect combination of nature, comfort, and a touch of luxury, transforming the journey into a far more special and unforgettable experience. Our crystal domes are designed to provide comfort, safety, and a deeper connection with the stunning natural surroundings, offering a distinctive way to rest while immersed in the beauty of the Andes. This exclusive feature significantly enhances the trekking experience, making the adventure not only more comfortable but also more memorable and unique. In addition, this tour includes an extra dose of excitement, as we also operate our own Zipline adventure, located at the end of the third day of the trek. This activity adds a thrilling and unforgettable element to the journey, allowing travelers to enjoy an extraordinary adventure experience before reaching Machu Picchu. More than just a trek, our Salkantay experience is a complete combination of breathtaking landscapes, exclusive accommodation, comfort, and adrenaline.
A TASTE OF PERU IN EVERY JOURNEY: The meals we provide on each of our tours are carefully selected to allow our travelers to enjoy the richness, diversity, and authenticity of Peruvian cuisine, widely recognized as one of the finest in the world. We focus not only on offering a varied and memorable culinary experience, but also on ensuring the quality of the ingredients and, above all, the safety of every meal served throughout the journey.

EXPERT PROFESSIONAL GUIDES FOR EVERY DESTINATION: At Machu Picchu Team, we understand that a professional guide is essential to turning a trip into a safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable experience. That is why we work with highly trained guides who have extensive experience in every destination we offer, as well as deep knowledge of the history, culture, geography, and traditions of each place. Their professionalism, dedication, and passion for service ensure that every traveler receives attentive, reliable, and high-quality guidance throughout the journey. Our guides are also prepared to provide support in any unexpected situation or emergency, always acting with responsibility and confidence. In addition, they have a strong command of English, allowing them to communicate clearly and deliver an excellent experience to both national and international travelers.

We are proud to promote a more responsible tourism model, one that not only focuses on delivering exceptional service to travelers, but also on creating real benefits for the people behind each journey. Our vision is not limited to business growth alone, but to building a company that grows together with its workers, contributing positively to tourism and to the well-being of many families in Cusco.
If you’re looking for a classic and historical journey, the Inca Trail is the perfect choice. This iconic route follows the original paths built by the Incas, taking you through impressive archaeological sites and allowing you to experience Peru’s rich cultural heritage in an authentic way. The highlight is reaching the legendary Sun Gate (Inti Punku), where you will enjoy your first breathtaking panoramic view of Machu Picchu—an unforgettable moment that makes this one of the most famous treks in the world.
On the other hand, if you prefer epic landscapes, adventure, and greater comfort, the Salkantay Trek is the ideal option. This route offers diverse and spectacular scenery, from snow-capped mountains to lush tropical valleys, creating a deeper connection with nature. It is also more flexible and less crowded, as it does not require permits, and includes unique comfort upgrades such as Sky Star Domes, where you can sleep under the stars surrounded by incredible mountain views—turning your journey into a truly premium experience.
In addition, the Salkantay Trek is a more affordable alternative. The Inca Trail requires a mandatory permit of approximately $150 per person paid to the Peruvian government, while the Salkantay Trek only involves a small local fee of around 20 soles. Furthermore, the Inca Trail relies on human porters, who carry up to 20 kg each and cost around 500 soles for a 4-day trek. In contrast, the Salkantay Trek uses horses that can carry up to 40 kg at a lower cost of approximately 200 soles per horse. These differences in permits and logistics make the Inca Trail significantly more expensive, while the Salkantay Trek offers a more cost-effective option without sacrificing the overall experience.
Overall, the Salkantay Trek offers a complete adventure, combining spectacular landscapes, cultural immersion, comfort, safety, and affordability, making it one of the best ways to reach Machu Picchu.
At Machu Picchu Team, we do more than create unforgettable travel experiences. We are also deeply committed to supporting high Andean communities and protecting the natural environment that is such an important part of our identity.
We believe tourism should create a positive impact not only for travelers, but also for the families and communities who live in these regions. That is why, every year, we dedicate part of our resources to supporting communities in the high Andes, helping them strengthen their local economy and improve their quality of life. One of the ways we do this is by providing materials that help protect their crops, which is essential for the daily work and livelihood of many families.
In special seasons such as Christmas, we also bring gifts and moments of joy to children and families in communities that receive very little direct benefit from tourism. For us, these actions are a way of sharing, giving back, and staying closely connected to our people.
We also believe in the power of sports to inspire, motivate, and create new opportunities for young people. For this reason, we proudly support the high mountain cycling club in Cusco, encouraging local talent and helping young athletes move closer to their dreams.
Our commitment also includes caring for the environment. We actively participate in the reforestation of the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, which is essential for preserving this valuable natural area. So far, we have planted more than 10,000 queuña trees, a native species that plays a key role in the ecological balance of the region, and we continue planting around 2,000 more each year. This effort is a concrete action to protect our landscapes and leave a better future for the next generations.
At Machu Picchu Team, we understand that responsible tourism means supporting communities, protecting nature, and acting with awareness. More than offering trips, we want to be part of a positive and lasting change in our homeland.
Traveling with Machu Picchu Team also means becoming part of this mission.
We are a company that works every day to create new and better travel experiences that you will remember for a lifetime. Our goal is to offer you more than just a trip. We want every adventure to be special, exciting, and meaningful. That is why we are constantly innovating, improving our services, and exploring new routes so you can enjoy unique places and unforgettable moments. We want each journey with us to leave you with wonderful memories and a strong desire to return and discover even more. With every new experience we create, our mission is to make your trip inspiring, comfortable, and truly unforgettable.
Our team is made up of local people from Cusco and the communities along the routes we operate, many of whom are native Quechua speakers. Their strong connection to the land, culture, and traditions allows us to offer more authentic and meaningful experiences to our travelers. We are proud to work with local people and are committed to providing fair working conditions, respectful treatment, and real job opportunities. In this way, we not only share the beauty of our region with the world, but also help support local families and contribute to the growth of our communities.
In all of our treks, we are very careful about the impact we have on the environment. We follow clear rules and responsible practices to make sure our presence in natural areas is as respectful as possible. Our goal is to protect the landscapes, trails, plants, and wildlife that make each route so special.We encourage both our team and our travelers to care for nature at all times by avoiding unnecessary waste, respecting the trails, and helping keep these places clean and preserved. We believe that enjoying nature also means taking responsibility for protecting it.Through these actions, we work to ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy the same beauty, purity, and natural richness that we experience today.
