Tour of Machu Pichu, Rainbow Mountain, Lake Titicaca and More
We had an epic 11-day trip across Cusco, the Short Inca Trail, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, Lake Titicaca, and Lima - made so much better by the team at Machupichu Latin America. Machupicchu Latin America, and Fredi in particular, were professional from the first message to the airport drop-off. Communication was outstanding: details were clear, questions were answered quickly, and nothing was left to chance. The price was excellent value for what was included — hotels, guides, trains, buses, admissions, some meals, a cooking class, and site permits. Every guide was knowledgeable, friendly and easy to travel with, from Chachabamba and Wiñay Wayna to the Sun Gate, Machu Picchu, Sacsayhuaman, Vinicunca, the Uros islands, and Lima. Lodgings were comfortable and well located. Transfers by private van and train were extremely smooth, including the early Ollantaytambo departure, the return from Aguas Calientes, the scenic bus to Puno, and the airport runs. The places were unforgettable, and the service and the personal attention is what made this a trip of a lifetime.

An Unforgettable Peruvian Adventure – Exceptional Service from Fredi and Gary!
Our 7-day trip to Peru—exploring Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, and Lake Titicaca—was absolutely incredible. We owe a massive thank you to our travel agent, Fredi, and our amazing guide, Gary, for making it the trip of a lifetime. From the very beginning of the organization process, Fredi was outstanding. He arranged everything with the utmost professionalism and was always available for every question we had. What truly set him apart was his dedication during the trip itself. Fredi checked in with us daily via WhatsApp to ensure every single transfer, hotel check-in, and tour was going smoothly. Knowing we had that constant support made the whole experience completely stress-free for myself, Vanessa, Tiago, and João. I also want to give a special shoutout to our guide, Gary. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and attention to detail brought every site to life. Whether we were marveling at the ruins of Machu Picchu or Sacred Valley, Gary made sure we had an unforgettable, seamless experience. If you are planning a trip to Peru with Machupicchu Latin America, I highly recommend booking with Fredi and having Gary lead the way. They are a phenomenal team and delivered a flawless adventure!

A very worthy provision
They offer customized service and take care of every aspect in the tour. I asked for extra day in cusco to acclimate plateau. The hotel/pickup/transfer/ticketing service are smoothing the journey since it is troublesome to arrange by myself.

Both my wife and I...
Both my wife and I enjoyed the 6 Day best of Peru excursion. It was well organized by Machupicchu Latin America. The guides were very helpful to make the Tour a ones of a Lifetime experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Walter, Thank you so much for your time and sharing your feedback. We are absolutely happy that you and your wife had a once-of-a-lifetime experience on our 6-Day Best of Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca Tour. It was an honor hosting you across the Andes! We are glad you enjoyed uncovering the history of Pisac and Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley, witnessing the magic of Machu Picchu, and cruising across the highest navigable lake in the world to meet the communities of Uros and Taquile Islands. Taking the scenic Sun Route bus ride to Puno is truly the best way to see the changing landscape. Thank you for trusting our team to organize this grand adventure, and thank you for traveling with a Peruvian local operator. Warm regards, The @MachupicchuLatinAmerica Family

6-Day Best of Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does 6-Day Best of Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $699 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 6-Day Best of Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca Tour take?
+
Plan for about 144 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 6-Day Best of Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 130 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 6-Day Best of Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca Tour?
+
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 6-Day Best of Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6-Day Best of Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca Tour?
+
Around 46 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 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6-Day Best of Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca Tour 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 6-Day Best of Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca Tour?
+
Included: Overland transportation for all transfers during the 6-day program; Round trip bus tickets in Machupicchu: Aguas Calientes – Machupicchu – Aguas Calientes; Lake Titicaca Adventure: Uros and Taquile Islands; 5 Nights hotel accomodation with private bathroom (at your selected hotel); and Lunch.

+

What languages is 6-Day Best of Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+

Is 6-Day Best of Peru: Cusco, Machu Picchu, and Lake Titicaca Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
