Excellent service
Of all the excursions we did in cusco the most organized and the best quality. You could see the quality, from the transfer car to the attention to report everything. Recommended.

Amazing tour company and the best tour guide
This was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend. We arranged this trip to Peru last minute for our honeymoon and stumbled upon Fly Cusco when searching tour guides. We contacted them and they came back to us immediately with all the relevant info. The times and itinerary given to us were spot on. But what really made this a hike we will never forget was our guide Victor who went above and beyond. He took control of everything, made us feel so special and was extremely pleasant and friendly. He was so knowledgeable of the trail from start to finish and his passion in informing us of all the history really shone through and made us really want to listen. We were picked up and dropped back on time, our lunches were lovely, the hotel room that they booked for us was very impressive also. I would highly recommend this tour company as they made our two day Inca trail one we'll never forget.
Response from the operator: Dear Edward Thanks for leaving us such a Great review. We are thrilled that you loved your experience; Our Team members are doing their best to give you such a wonderful experience..!!! Thank you again for taking the time out to share your experience. We’ll keep doing it great! Kind regards, FLY CUSCO PERU Travel Agency Team

Inca Trail: 2-Day Machu Picchu and Waynapicchu optional: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Inca Trail: 2-Day Machu Picchu and Waynapicchu optional cost?
+
Prices start at $380 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 Inca Trail: 2-Day Machu Picchu and Waynapicchu optional take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Inca Trail: 2-Day Machu Picchu and Waynapicchu optional worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Inca Trail: 2-Day Machu Picchu and Waynapicchu optional?
+
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 Inca Trail: 2-Day Machu Picchu and Waynapicchu optional suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Inca Trail: 2-Day Machu Picchu and Waynapicchu optional?
+
Around 1 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Inca Trail: 2-Day Machu Picchu and Waynapicchu optional 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.
