Our strength

First, the price. There are numerous Websites offering Machu Picchu tours, visit them, compare, but remember to write down our address because we are sure you will come back!

We offer discounts for students (without limits of age) and children and teens.

We offer, without fees and if you ask for it, the transfer from the airport in Cusco to your hotel.

Our prices are clearly published in all our website, no other fee or surprise payment will be requested.

In case of cancellation, most agencies make no refunds. Without arguing or demanding any written proof, we make a refund, up to 70% of the full payment. The balance corresponds to administrative and banking fees it is not refundable.

If other agencies offer student discounts, the reservation is only effective after sending a copy of the written proof. Our exclusive reservation system allows you to send the copy of the written proof directly to our servers when booking.

Without the intention of being unfaithful, most agencies only give the clients a simple receipt, for... mmm... let's say tax reasons. They have chosen to do so but it is to the detriment of the clients who don't get a legal purchase proof therefore they are not protected. Our behavior code is to be completely legal and we give every client a detailed and legal receipt.

Only few agencies offer the possibility to book online, and if they do, it is through non secure websites. Our online payment system is SSL secure, it accepts many types of credit cards and guarantees not only confidentiality and security of your personal and bank information but that the Site is really what it pretends to be (digital certificate). Furthermore, this reduces reservation delays and paperwork.

Finally, as you have noticed, we propose only one thing: Tours in Cusco. We think that diversity will lower the high level of quality of service you are entitled to demand.
