Hello!! My name is Gustavo and I am a professional tour guide in the city of Cusco and its surroundings. I grew up in a small village out of Cusco city then and moved to the town because of education and better opportunities. When I was in high school I realized that I really loved archaeology, history, culture, and traditions. Then I started to study English at an institute and also tourism to become a tour guide and of course always keeping in mind the opportunity of sharing the richness of my culture, traditions, and history of this city with my customers. Then I worked in a nice place with native people from local communities to learn more. I have been guiding for the last 8 years but have always worked in tourism-related places. I started to study tourism because of my passion for history, archaeology, and culture. My favourite tours are the Cusco City tour, Sacred Valley tour, Moray and Maras Salt Ponds, South Valley tour, Machu Picchu full-day tour, Rainbow Mountain, and Humantay Lake of course, I can create tailor-made tours depending on the time you have. I have a great understanding of architecture, art, music, and gastronomy. I share my kindness and my knowledge of my amazing culture. Also as a tour guide, I am dedicated to providing my customers with an unforgettable travel experience.

Overview of your Cusco tour

Machu Picchu is one of the world's wonders, located in Cusco. Nowadays, it is considered Peru's main tourist attraction, located 7,800 feet above sea level. This wonder must definitely be included in your bucket list. During this amazing experience, we will visit this spectacular citadel, which nowadays is considered one of the most important pre-Columbus cities in South America. It is also considered a wonder of hydraulic and civil engineering. Join me on this tour to learn how the Incas built it all in an extremely difficult area. This full-day tour experience can also be combined with one overnight stay in Machu Picchu town or Aguas Calientes. It's up to you!
