Overview of your Cusco tour

Chinchero es uno de los sitios incas más importantes de la zona de Cusco, con hermosos paisajes, templos incas y comunidades locales. Maras es un atractivo pueblo colorido ubicado en el Valle Sagrado, rodeado de bellos paisajes. Moray es un grupo arqueológico único en su tipo en la región. Se trata de enormes terrazas superpuestas concéntricamente en un gigantesco cráter. Estas hermosas terrazas sirvieron en la época incaica como un laboratorio agrícola, un prototipo de invernadero, donde los antiguos quechuas experimentaron y obtuvieron mejoras. Las salinas, o minas de sal, están constituidas por aproximadamente 2000 pequeños pozos con una superficie promedio de 5 m², explotados desde la época incaica y colonial, y que aún hoy son explotados por los pobladores para su consumo. Finalmente, se visita Ollanta, tanto el sitio inca como el pueblo, conocido como el Museo Viviente Inca.

Raul definitely gets a five-star rating. He was extremely informative, interesting and patient. Raul kept us engaged throughout our time with him. We were intrigued from the beginning of our ride to Maras / Moray to our drop-off in Cusco. We cannot thank him enough for spending the day with us and for helping us to appreciate his country of Peru and Inka civilization. Raul is very passionate about everything. Plus, he plays the Quena flute!

Raul was extremely informative - he knew his Incan history and reinforced his information with drawings and photos. He was also very good company, and very flexible with the itinerary. We really enjoyed his company and the tour was just what we wanted.

Raul made our visit to Cusco memorable. He is knowledgeable on a wide range of subjects from local culture, history, to agriculture, music and food. His tour was quite flexible and made adjustments to the published itinerary once learning our interests. One very memorable moment came on our visit to Moray, where halfway down into the terraces he took out his flute and played a mesmerizing folk tune. You could see how all visitors in the area stopped to listen to him. He's a wonderfully personable guide!

The whole day was a real pleasure. Raul is a perfect, very experienced, patient guide, who knows more than we ever imagined about places, history, astronomy, plants, food, agriculture, ancient culture - it was very informative. We asked Raul to change the program slightly and everything was possible. The sacred valley was blooming, we were overwhelmed by its beauty.

Raul customized an excellent day for our family of 7, consisting of grandparents to 1-year-old. The tour was paced perfectly for our energy and interests. He was well-prepared with documents, props and hands-on demonstrations to engage the kids and illustrate the beauty of the Sacred Valley and it's people. I highly recommend this guide.
