Un unforgeable adventure for a one-of-a-kind group
We just came back from an amazing trip to Peru! RAP Travel helped our big group of 12 people, all in our 40s, 50s and 60s even from the very beginning, customizing our hotel choices, our itinerary, etc. They shared with us their expertise but also listened to what we wanted/needed/had. This is my third time working with Alicia and as always, I trust her and her team 100% and have sent multiple friends to her team, never with any problems. This time, I ventured to bring along 11 other friends alongside with me and RAP Travel did not disappoint. Upon hearing my worries about altitude sickness possibilities, Carlos, Moises and Alicia came to pick us up at the airport and gave us a warm welcome and then we headed down to the Valley. We settled swiftly into our amazing hotel. Carlos came back to give us an informative, fun, relaxing tour of the valley the next day and on the day we were in Cusco. I especially appreciated his patience with me as days passed and different needs arose that caused me to ask for changes in our itinerary - he didn't just listen and adjusted things but went beyond what I had expected! Moises was our driver every day and he always came with a big smile, was professional and we never felt unsafe! He was mindful of even the smallest details such as temperature of the van, routes to take, and giving up updates. The highlight surprise was when he suggested to take us on a different route overseeing quinoa fields, a lake and a glacier! What a treat! We were a group of moms and just so happened it was Mother's Day - the entire RAP TRAVEL team surprised us with roses, candies and a nice mug and note. IT truly made us all feel special! Gracias! Machu Picchu was a breeze - the team takes care of all the details and all the people we met there contacted me via WhatsApp so I never felt alone. Fabiola from customer service was also amazing, helping me with room assignment changes at last minute and always responding in real time. The hotels we stayed at were exactly what we needed and RAP Travel even helped us with the hotels we needed in Lima and in Ica. Having worked with the team for 3 times now, I can confidently recommend anyone to go with them. I have come just as a group of 2 with my brother, with my entire family (with children) as a group of 8 and now with friends as a group of 12. You won't be disappointed. Their professionalism, passion and just genuine love for people and their land and culture shows through. You won't just have a good experience with them; you will get a glimpse at life in the Andes.
Response from the operator: Wow — thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such an incredible and heartfelt message! 🧡 It has truly been an honor to welcome you back to Peru not once, not twice, but three times! Your trust means the world to us, and seeing you return — and now bringing along 11 wonderful friends — is the best reward we could ever hope for. Alicia, Carlos, Moisés, Fabiola and the entire RAP Travel family are so happy to know that we were able to meet your needs, ease your concerns, and add unexpected joy along the way — from the surprise detour through the quinoa fields and glaciers, to celebrating Mother’s Day with you and the other amazing moms in the group. We’re especially grateful for your kind words about our care, flexibility and the human side of travel — because that’s what truly matters to us. Helping our guests feel safe, cared for, and inspired by Peru is our mission and our passion. Thank you for continuing to recommend us to your friends and family. You are now part of the RAP Travel family, and we will always be here to welcome you back — no matter how big or small the group, and no matter how many times you return. With love and gratitude, The RAP Travel team 🇵🇪

Amazing 5 days trip to Cusco
We traveled with the agency RAP for 4 days and 5 nights, during which we visited Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, Humantay Lake, the Sacred Valley, and the salt mines. It was an incredible experience! The guides had every aspect of the logistics perfectly organized, and there wasn’t a single thing to criticize. We were even upgraded to a hotel right by the main square, which was very convenient, and it was easy to get in touch with them whenever we had questions. The guides were excellent at providing information, and our guide, Carlos, was an incredible help throughout the trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your 5-day trip to Cusco was such an incredible experience. It's great to know that the logistics were perfectly organized and that you had a smooth and enjoyable journey. We're especially happy to hear that Carlos and the rest of our team were able to support you throughout your adventure. We look forward to welcoming you again for more unforgettable experiences!

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Andean Getaway 5 Days to Machu Picchu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Andean Getaway 5 Days to Machu Picchu cost?
+
Prices start at $1089 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 Andean Getaway 5 Days to Machu Picchu take?
+
Plan for about 120 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 Andean Getaway 5 Days to Machu Picchu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 200 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Andean Getaway 5 Days to Machu Picchu?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Andean Getaway 5 Days to Machu Picchu suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Andean Getaway 5 Days to Machu Picchu?
+
Around 70 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Andean Getaway 5 Days to Machu Picchu 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, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, 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.
