My name is Ruth, I was born and grew up in Cusco, the cradle of the Inca culture. I am one of the 5 children of a couple of fathers coming from the Andes and with classic Andean customs. I learned from my parents the importance of work, perseverance, and the greatness of our ancestry. The Quechua people and the Incas. I am a determined and a fighter. I studied for 5 years at the local San Antonio Abad University of Cusco. I am very friendly and respectful. I like listening to music (especially Andean music) and I love good food, I can recommend to you the best places to eat Peruvian local food. I consider myself a lover of the Inca culture. I want to share, not just the history and knowledge with you but also our customs and our ways of life. - I have a guide card issued by the College of Graduates in Tourism, this card certifies the entrance to the tourist sites. - I have a degree as a Tourism graduate, issued by the National University San Antonio Abad of Cusco I will organize a transport with an adequate and certified driver. Thus the excursion will be more organized and assisted this way.

Machu Picchu is the main and most visited tourist destination in Peru and one of the most visited places in the world. The Inca citadel of Machu Picchu was chosen as one of the new 7 wonders of the world for the magnitude and beauty of the entire archaeological complex, it was also declared a cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO. This is a completely magical tour that allows you to get to know Machu Picchu from Cusco in a single day, it combines an impressive train trip from the Ollantaytambo train station, with majestic scenery, with the visit to the Inca city of Machu Picchu, where I can show you all the places to take the best pictures. Machu Picchu was the most important religious, ceremonial and also residential center of the Inca empire, All the buildings in Machu Picchu were built using a technique that still surprises engineers today. Inca masonry has the particularity of fully guaranteeing the stability of the construction without using any mortar.
