Additional Information
This tour will take you to a local market and then out in the town of Cusco at night. We will meet up at your hotel and take you first for a tour of a local non-touristic market and then for a Pisco sour, the most typical cocktail of Peru. Then we will be transported to the Cusco Planetarium, located 15 minutes above the city. Here we will hear about how the Incas viewed the constellations and then we will get to go outside to look through the telescopes and stargaze. After the planetarium, we will return to Cusco and go out to a restaurant frequented by locals for the most popular dish of Peru: Pollo a la brasa, or blackened rotisserie chicken, which is eaten with salad and french fries and will have the most typical drink of Peru, Inca kola. We will finish the tour by walking around the Plaza de Armas (the main square) which is lit up beautifully at night and look at the statue of the emperor Pachacutec and learn about the history of the Incas in Cusco.

Lovely tour - We had a great time on this tour. Simon was very informative and engaging. We LOVE the planetarium and seeing Saturn and Jupiter through the telescope. But the highlight of the tour was seeing sunset from the rooftop of a local bar. The lighting and view were incredible. Would recommend!

Great guide. Great tour. And they have an even Greater you should ask about!!misson you - I was a bit nervous running around which is any tour guide company. My friend is more worldly than I and scheduled this and our guide did not disappoint! Not only did I feel safe we got great lessons about the city and country . The most fascinating was the not for profit they work with and help in the children in the high mountains with schools, chromebooks, skills and more! The dinner portion of our tour we got to meet his nephew who happened to be our guide at the planetarium and his beautiful Bonita! I hope to stay in contact and recommend using this company anytime!

Valentine did an... - Valentine did an outstanding job walking us around and the wealth of knowledge was great. Being American, and failed miserably trying to learn the language, it was great that Valentine's English was supreme. Would recommend. The dinner part was amazing as we had dinner with him and several of his family members.

Informative Evening in Cusco - Our evening was just as described on the promotion for this tour. It is a good excursion, whether you are new to town and need to take it easy on your first few days, or if you’ve already been here a short while, like us. My teenage daughter and I had a wonderful, casual and informative evening with our guide, Ernesto. He was very attentive and thoughtful. And he spoke English very well.
Thank you to Ernesto and the team from Valentin’s Pachamama Journeys for your attention to detail from beginning to end!

BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER! - Valentin and Kenny were the most knowledgeable, passionate, interesting and personable tour guides. Traveled to Peru with my daughter and son in law along with his parents. Letting Valentin know that I had bum knees, he took the utmost care in helping me navigate everything involved with the tour. We enjoyed San Pedro market, the Plaza square with our Pisco sours, the planetarium, and the best chicken dinner with Valentin, son Kenny and his wife. He told us so many details and facts about the history of Cusco. Valentin is such a fascinating man in his tour guide life and his private life. An outstanding human being all around. Guess I will have to go back one day so I can see his farm in the Sacred Valley!

Great tour, would book again! Highlight of our Cusco trip! - The entire tour was amazing. Valentin was so thoughtful and caring, and really we all enjoyed him as a tour guide so much. He really took time to show us all around the city and planetarium, and could not imagine our trip without doing this. 10/10 for sure. If you are going to Cusco, this is a must book trip with Valentin.

One of the best guides we ever had! - We used Valentin for our tour of Cusco. We couldn’t have been more happier with everything we did. We learned so much about Cusco and the people of the region. His English is wonderful and you will remember forever the stories he tells. If you can book him for any of the tours he does I am sure you will be very happy.
