Frequently Asked questions about Cusco Tours
What is the best time to take Cusco tours?
The best time to enjoy Cusco tours is during the dry season, from May to October. During this period, the weather is more stable, there’s almost no rain, and the days are sunny—perfect for trekking, visiting Machu Picchu, or exploring the Sacred Valley. July and August are high season, so early booking is essential. If you prefer fewer tourists and beautiful green landscapes, May and September are excellent alternatives.
What kind of tours can I do from Cusco?
Cusco is the perfect base for exploring Peru’s top destinations. From here, you can take day tours to the Sacred Valley, Rainbow Mountain, or Humantay Lake, as well as multi-day treks to Machu Picchu like the Inca Trail, Salkantay, or Lares Trek. There are also half-day tours like the Cusco City Tour or ATV adventures to Maras and Moray. Whether you’re into culture, history, or adventure, there’s a Cusco tour for everyone.
Is it safe to do tours in Cusco?
Yes, doing tours in Cusco is safe, especially when traveling with a certified local tour operator. Reputable agencies offer experienced tour guides, first-aid equipment, and proper transportation. You’ll also get support for altitude acclimatization, which is important at this elevation. Just follow the guide’s instructions, drink plenty of water, and take time to rest on your first day in Cusco.
How many days should I stay in Cusco?
To fully enjoy the best Cusco tours, a stay of 5 to 7 days is ideal. This gives you time to acclimate to the altitude and experience key excursions like the Sacred Valley Tour, Machu Picchu Full-Day Tour, and Rainbow Mountain. If you’re interested in multi-day hikes such as the Inca Trail, you’ll need a bit more time. You can also visit lesser-known sites like Q’eswachaka or Waqrapukara for a deeper cultural experience.
How difficult is the Rainbow Mountain tour?
The Rainbow Mountain Vinicunca tour is considered moderate to challenging due to its high altitude (over 5,000 meters / 16,400 feet). The hike is relatively short but physically demanding if you’re not acclimated. It’s best done after spending a couple of days in Cusco. For an easier option, the Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain tour offers spectacular views with a more relaxed walk and fewer crowds.
What’s included in a typical Machu Picchu tour from Cusco?
A standard Machu Picchu full day tour usually includes hotel pickup, transportation to Ollantaytambo, round-trip train tickets, Machu Picchu entrance, shuttle bus, and a professional guide. Some packages offer lunch or the option to stay overnight in Aguas Calientes. You can also combine this with a Sacred Valley tour or short hikes like the 1-Day Inca Trail.
Should I book through a Cusco travel agency?
Booking your tours through a trusted Cusco travel agency like Andino Tours Peru offers many benefits: organized logistics, licensed guides, secure transportation, and local knowledge. Whether you’re hiking the Inca Trail, exploring Machu Picchu, or visiting the Sacred Valley, agencies provide a hassle-free experience. You’ll also support local tourism and ensure safe, personalized service.
