What people are saying about Cusco Region

One of our favorite excursions during our trip to Peru! Our tour guide was great and knowledgable. We took the ATV to Moray and the bus to Maras. Definitely get to spend a decent amount of time on the ATVs. Visit to Moray was brief. You will definitely get very dusty during this excursion. I recommend wearing a bandana or mouth covering to prevent dust.

Hicimos esta actividad durante el mes de diciembre. Todo fue perfecto. Este tour en Cusco lo podéis encontrar aquí en la plataforma. Nuestro guia incluso nos apoyo con su tiempo con lugares donde comer, la gastronomia fue sensacional, como también nos dejo en un bonito lugar donde ver las mejores artesanías.

I loved this tour! All around it was a great day. The quad bikes are semi automatic and I was quite nervous when they were teaching us how to handle them. Once we got a little practice with them I felt totally comfortable. I recommended this tour to many other travellers I met since I went on this tour

I absolutely recommend this ! It's action and culture at once, really fun day out and the guides were so nice and did a great job!the views are stunning!It will get dusty so come prepared,wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty!

Sí, la disfrutamos mucho. Busque tours en Cusco y que sólo sean como éste.
