    Amazing tours

    The tours by Inkanto Travel was amazing and I was a little worry at first because I didn’t plan ahead but they accommodate me and took care of everything. The tours were great and we were never alone they made us feel safe and fun. They really care about the experience and clients and accommodating on what you want to do and see in Cusco.

    Outstanding Peru Adventure with Orlando and Inkanto Travel - 5 Stars!

    Outstanding Peru Adventure with Orlando and Inkanto Travel - 5 Stars! Orlando, and Inkanto Travel, provided us with an absolutely unforgettable Peru experience that exceeded every expectation. From the moment we first contacted him through the final goodbye, his professionalism and passion for sharing his country made this trip truly special. Expert Planning & Communication Orlando's pre-trip communication was fantastic - he was responsive, detailed, and helped us prepare thoroughly for everything ahead. His knowledge of how to avoid crowds while still experiencing all the must-see sights made our time at Machu Picchu and other popular destinations feel intimate and special. Incredible Cultural Immersion The two-day Inca Trail hike was a highlight, and Orlando's deep knowledge of Incan history brought every step to life. His storytelling transformed ancient ruins into vivid scenes from the past. Beyond the trail, he curated authentic experiences including witnessing traditional cooking methods and learning about alpaca garment creation - moments that gave us genuine insight into Peruvian culture. Diverse Adventures Orlando's itinerary was perfectly balanced with breathtaking natural wonders and thrilling activities. Rainbow Mountain's stunning colors, the fascinating salt flats, and an exhilarating white water rafting adventure created diverse memories we'll treasure forever. His restaurant recommendations were spot-on, introducing us to incredible local flavors at hidden gems we never would have found ourselves. Seamless Logistics Every aspect of transportation was handled flawlessly - quality vehicles, punctual timing, and smooth transitions between activities. Orlando's attention to these details allowed us to focus entirely on enjoying Peru rather than worrying about logistics. Bonus: Amazing Photography As an added bonus, Orlando is an excellent photographer who captured our adventures beautifully. We came home with professional-quality photos that perfectly document our incredible journey. Orlando didn't just show us Peru - he helped us fall in love with it. His expertise, warmth, and genuine care for creating the perfect experience make him an exceptional guide. We couldn't recommend him more highly for anyone wanting to discover the magic of Peru!

    3 Days Cusco: Machu Picchu, City Tour and Sacred Valley: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

    How much does 3 Days Cusco: Machu Picchu, City Tour and Sacred Valley cost?

    +

    Prices start at $989 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 Days Cusco: Machu Picchu, City Tour and Sacred Valley take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

    Is 3 Days Cusco: Machu Picchu, City Tour and Sacred Valley worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days Cusco: Machu Picchu, City Tour and Sacred Valley?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 3 Days Cusco: Machu Picchu, City Tour and Sacred Valley suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 Days Cusco: Machu Picchu, City Tour and Sacred Valley?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 Days Cusco: Machu Picchu, City Tour and Sacred Valley start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cusco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cusco?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cusco?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 3 Days Cusco: Machu Picchu, City Tour and Sacred Valley?

    +

    Included: Expert bilingual guide service; Transfer from Ollantaytambo to Cusco; Lunch; Round-trip train tickets from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes; and All Entrance Fees, Includes the entrance fee to Machu Picchu. Not included: Gratuities; Personal Expenses; Travel Insurance; and Day 01 night Hotel in Cusco. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 283 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is 3 Days Cusco: Machu Picchu, City Tour and Sacred Valley offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 3 Days Cusco: Machu Picchu, City Tour and Sacred Valley?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to 3 Days Cusco: Machu Picchu, City Tour and Sacred Valley if the weather is bad?
