Encuentros Peru Adventure

  As a backpacker i was looking for the cheapest option to visit Machu Picchu. I did hear some horrible stories from other travellers how they experienced a tour by car... read more and suggested me to take the train tour which was super expensive.

I checked the review of this company and decided to sign up for the tour by car with them. It was simply amazing.

I was picked up from my hotel at 0700 AM. The drive through the sacred valley was interesting with plenty of view to soak into. We had a couple of stop along the way. I loved the one in Abra Malaga Pass which is uper high and marks as the starting point of Inca Jungle trek.

They served lunch in Hidro Electrica. From there the hike along the railway tracks was for three hours but with a spectacular view of the cloud forest.

At Aguas Calientes town they accommodated me in a basic hostel in a private room which was good for a night.

They also served dinner at a local restaurant.

On the second day i chose to pay extra and took the bus which was worth it. The guided tour of Machu Picchu lasted for two hours. The guide wxplained everything in detail. We toured the ceremonial centre, remains of Inca temples and more.

After the tour, i hiked back to Aguas Calientes and onward to Hidro electrica where i met the driver who drove back to Cusco.

The experience was just as mentioned in the itinerary. The driver however drove very safely.

If you are on a budget i highly reccomend the tour and this company especially.

  I had a very good trip up to the Rainbow Mountains with Jose Luis as my guide. He is a very nice person with a plenty of tricks and knowledge... read more on hiking. His expertise was just amazing and helpful. I can surely recommend this company and Jose Luis

  This was the most economic option i came across whilst looking for a tour to Machu Picchu. The drive was somewhat long but joyful. Saw spectacular sights of the Sacred... read more Valley. It was nice to witness the changing topology as the car descended from the Andes to the cloud forest. Machu Picchu has a different vibe altogether. They gave us a two hours guided tour of the citadel. Everything was just spectacular. Thanks to Jose, the guide.

  Ths was the perfect day trip in Cusco. They drove me to different sites in the Valley and explained the prominence of each sites to Incas and to the people... read more living there now. This seemed more of an introduction to Inca civilization and Andean traditions. Perfect before visiting Machu Picchu.
