Fantastic - Our trip to Machu Picchu was absolutely unforgettable. I traveled with my university and a great group of friends, and we were accompanied by Chullos Travel Agency, who made the entire experience even more special. From the stunning views of the Andes to the magical feeling of standing among ancient Inca ruins, every moment was filled with wonder. The agency took care of everything—transportation, guides, and amazing local experiences—so we could just enjoy and explore.

From the on-time pickup at our hotel to the return to Cusco, everything was smooth and well-organized. The train ride was super comfortable and filled with stunning views of the Urubamba Valley. Once we arrived in Aguas Calientes, our guide was already waiting and took us straight up to Machu Picchu. The guided tour was really informative, and we also had free time to explore the site on our own. The whole experience felt easy and enjoyable thanks to the friendly and efficient service. If you're looking for a hassle-free and memorable way to visit Machu Picchu, I’d definitely recommend this tour!

Magical Cusco in 3 days: history, adventure, and unforgettable landscapes - It was a wonderful experience that exceeded my expectations. In such a short time, we were able to see the best of the region: the Cusco City Tour, the imposing citadel of Machu Picchu, and the incredible Rainbow Mountain. Each day was filled with discoveries, spectacular landscapes, and unforgettable moments. The staff's professionalism was excellent from the start. The guides were punctual, well-organized, and extremely knowledgeable about history and culture. They were always friendly, attentive, and willing to answer all our questions. Thanks to them, each location came alive with their explanations. The tour was well-structured and suitable for different groups. Our group included families, couples, and solo travelers, and everyone was able to enjoy the tour without any issues. Although the hike to Rainbow Mountain was challenging, the guide provided support and motivation throughout the journey.

machu picchu - Without a doubt, Machu Picchu is a destination that will take your breath away and is worth exploring. To get there, we took a bus, although we walked back to Aguas Calientes. The site itself is a marvel, full of ancient stories and traditions. The quality of the experience depends greatly on the guide you get, and fortunately, ours was excellent; he dedicated himself to telling us everything with patience and detail, a luxury! When we arrived, it was cloudy and raining, but after a couple of hours the skies opened up and we were able to take incredible photos, so don't worry if the weather isn't good at first. Imagine yourself standing in the middle of mountains filled with vegetation, with the Inca ruins right below you. It's like a dream come true. Machu Picchu is a magical place, shrouded in mystery and history. Aside from exploring the ruins, you can enjoy amazing hikes and much more. It will be something you'll always remember.

Incredible trip to Peru - Machu Picchu is a wonder you have to see! We went by bus and walked back to Aguas Calientes, incredible place full of history and culture, everything depends on the guide you get, luckily we got an excellent guide who took his time to explain everything, really impressive. When we arrived it was all cloudy and raining but two hours later everything cleared up and we were able to take some incredible pictures so don't be discouraged if when you arrive it is cloudy Imagine yourself surrounded by green mountains, with these ancient Inca ruins at your feet. It is like a dream come true. Machu Picchu is a magical place, full of history and mystery. Besides exploring the ruins, you can do amazing hikes and much more. Experience.
