Solo Traveller

My journey through Cusco and the Sacred Valley was an absolute delight from start to finish. Upon arrival at Cusco Airport, I was warmly welcomed and transported to my hotel, where the invigorating coca tea helped ease any altitude discomfort. The comprehensive city tour of Cusco was a fantastic introduction to the region’s rich history and culture, with highlights including the Main Square and the magnificent Cathedral.

The visit to the Sacred Valley was equally captivating, especially the colorful Indian market in Pisac and the ancient streets of Ollantaytambo. The highlight, of course, was Machu Picchu, where the breathtaking sunrise and guided tour provided unforgettable memories. The Maras Moray tour on the final day was a perfect conclusion to the trip, offering insight into Incan innovation and natural wonders. Overall, this tour exceeded my expectations in every way, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Peru.
