We had a great time at Maulallaqta. It is a place to connect with nature and with ourselves. The views were amazing! Fernando is very knowledgeable and took his time to explain everything and help us to better understand the Inka’s culture and its connection to nature. We also had the opportunity of meeting Mr. Mario and Mrs. Marta who received us a their house to share an amazing coffee for breakfast and later for a delicious and traditional lunch. They even baked some homemade bread for us! I highly recommend this out of the ordinary tour to Paccarectambo!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful experience with us! 🌿 ✨ Maullaqta is a very special place, and we’re delighted it gave you the opportunity to connect with nature and yourselves. We'll pass on your kind words to Fernando, Mr Mario and Mrs Marta. Their warmth, knowledge and hospitality play a big part in making this journey to Paccarectambo so unique and authentic. Thank you for recommending this extraordinary adventure — we hope to welcome you back soon for more meaningful experiences in the heart of the Andes! 🏔️☀️

Uscible that there are no people
Beautiful place loaded with a fundamental fragment of our history. Stunning scenery. Local guide A1. Take the opportunity to visit puma orqo too, where the legend of the Ayar brothers begins. It's very close

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Maukallaqta Private Tour with Expert Guide from Cusco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Maukallaqta Private Tour with Expert Guide from Cusco cost?
+
Prices start at $278 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 Maukallaqta Private Tour with Expert Guide from Cusco take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Maukallaqta Private Tour with Expert Guide from Cusco 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 9 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 Maukallaqta Private Tour with Expert Guide from Cusco?
+
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 Maukallaqta Private Tour with Expert Guide from Cusco suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Maukallaqta Private Tour with Expert Guide from Cusco?
+
Around 3 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Maukallaqta Private Tour with Expert Guide from Cusco 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 Maukallaqta Private Tour with Expert Guide from Cusco?
+
Included: Private transportation; Lunch; Private guided tour; and Official Tourism Guide. Not included: Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Maukallaqta Private Tour with Expert Guide from Cusco include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Maukallaqta Private Tour with Expert Guide from Cusco offered in?
+
It is offered in English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
