Traveler reviews
2 verified traveler reviews for Private Tour to Waqrapukara Archaeological Site from Cusco.. Ratings and reviews provided by Viator and Tripadvisor.
Incredible views at mountaintop Inca Sanctuary
Excellent shorter hike to an active archeological site a little less visited. We did this hike a couple days after Huana Picchu and my wife and I disagree as to which was harder. Regardless the hike was still little on the difficult side after only 5 days at altitude but definitely doable. My 11-year old loved it despite the early rise. Beto, our guide was fun and very informative. As well as learning about the site we were taught about native plants and their medicinal purposes. The views along the hike and at Waqrapukara itself were some of the most incredible I’ve seen.

A long, amazing day!
This is an ambitious tour! But what you get to see is just stunning! In our case, we are in our early 60s and it was only our second day at elevation, so we got winded and had to take breaks during the hike portion on the trip. Our guide, Edwin, was very supportive and we were able to go at our own pace. While driving we came across several herds of sheep, alpaca and llama and we stopped for photos. Communication leading up to the trip was great with all questions answered. We highly recommend this excursion with the understanding that it is a long day, but worth it!

Private Tour to Waqrapukara Archaeological Site from Cusco.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Private Tour to Waqrapukara Archaeological Site from Cusco. cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 Private Tour to Waqrapukara Archaeological Site from Cusco. take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Private Tour to Waqrapukara Archaeological Site from Cusco. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Private Tour to Waqrapukara Archaeological Site 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 Private Tour to Waqrapukara Archaeological Site from Cusco. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour to Waqrapukara Archaeological Site from Cusco.?
+
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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour to Waqrapukara Archaeological Site 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, 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.
