STOP LOOKING THIS IS THE PLACE TO HIRE!!! I had to leave a review for Edwar and QOSQU. My wife and I travel all over the world at least 4 times a year and have never had as great service as we did with this company. I measure this by a few things. First, they were always on time. Our luggage was always taken care of. And we were very comfortable. I would include safety but there are no safety concerns to worry about for this destination. We had a few hiccups due to the electricity going out in the airport. Flights were grounded but this is where the company shined and really impressed me. They went out of their way to get us a hotel have a driver ready in the middle of the early morning. We ate showered and were back at the airport in time for all of our flights. If you decide to go to Peru. Hire this company. If you want a suggestion these are the people to ask. I wish they had their company all around the world cause that’s how awesome they did. When people ask where is the best place in the world to visit I always ask well that depends on what you are looking for. But as far as outstanding service for guides. This is the very best we’ve had. Edwar is EXTREMELY knowledgeable. He’s done archeology so his attention to detail is incredible. We were with him 14 days and I feel like I have a friend in Peru.

Guide was very acknowlegeble. Caring & helpful. Very please with him. View so much better than we expected. The trip was made more interesting with the history of the Incas & Peru in general. Food and customs was explained in details for a better understanding of the culture of the Peruvian, especially the Incas. The heat was bearable once we were in the Valley & the higher altitude of Machu Pichu. The train ride was an experience and seeing how small gathering of people living the way they do beside the track is remarkable. Very rewarding trip.

Great guys for magical Peru I would highly recommend Alfredo and Edwar. We have an adventurous 5 days, from the Machu Picchu trail to Cusco City, The Sacred Valley and riding up to Rainbow Mountain. The guys looked after us both super well and Drivers Edwardo and Ulysses both deserve big thanks for keeping us safe and moving us about in great style. All in all we can’t recommend these guys highly enough and if you are coming to this part of Peru you should try them out. Sara & Jamie x

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Machu Picchu and Inca Trail FAQs for Planning Your Peru Trip

Planning a trip to Machu Picchu and the Andes raises many questions. From Inca Trail permits and the best time to go to altitude sickness and what to pack, here are the answers to the questions our travelers ask most, so you can prepare for a hassle-free trip to Peru.

Machu Picchu is open year-round. The dry season (April to November) offers sunny days and stunning sunrises. The wet season (December to March) brings lush green landscapes and fewer crowds. Every month has its own magic, and we operate tours 365 days a year.

Altitude sickness can affect visitors above 2,500 meters (8,000 feet). We recommend eating lightly, drinking plenty of fluids, and avoiding alcohol upon arrival. Most of our itineraries are designed to help you acclimatize by visiting the Sacred Valley first. Oxygen is available upon request.

Yes, absolutely. Daily tickets are limited and sell out months in advance. Booking your tour with Qosqo Expeditions ensures that we secure your permits and entrance tickets for your preferred dates, so you don't have to worry about availability.

The Classic Inca Trail is a moderate-to-challenging hike on ancient stone paths. The Salkantay Trek is considered slightly more challenging due to the distance and altitude but offers more diverse scenery and fewer crowds. Both require a reasonable level of fitness.

Yes, Peru is a safe destination for tourists. At Qosqo Expeditions, your safety is our priority. We provide 24/7 assistance, private transportation, and experienced local guides to ensure a secure and worry-free experience throughout your journey.

Weather in the Andes is unpredictable. We recommend dressing in layers (t-shirts, fleece, and a down jacket). Essentials include comfortable hiking boots, a rain poncho, sunblock, sunglasses, insect repellent, and a daypack. For treks, we provide a detailed packing list.

Absolutely. We specialize in tailor-made experiences. Whether you want to add a day in the Amazon, upgrade to a luxury hotel, or hike Rainbow Mountain, our Destination Specialists can modify any itinerary to suit your interests and pace.

Most of our packages include breakfast at your hotel and selected lunches, especially during full-day tours (often "farm-to-table" experiences). Trekking packages (Inca Trail/Salkantay) include all meals prepared by our chefs. Check your specific itinerary for details.

The most common and comfortable way is by train (Vistadome or Expedition) from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes, followed by a short bus ride. All our tours include private transfers and train tickets, ensuring a seamless journey from your hotel to the citadel.

Most travelers from North America and Europe do not need a visa for tourism. You will need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. Your passport is required to enter Machu Picchu and board trains.
