Review of the 14-hour Machu Picchu day trip from Cusco, with train options, guided circuits, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“This was obviously going to be the highlight of our trip. We were fortunate enough to book well in advance and received Circuit 2. Many times when I visit a place it is pretty much how I expected it to be. This surpassed all expectations. It is a beautiful place and was made all the more special by our tour guide Hector. He was happy to go at our slower pace, and his comments and tour were outstanding. He helped my mom who is a little older through the rugged terrain and provided several areas for resting before continuing on, all while providing us with fascinating details about Inca history.…”

Review of the 16-hour Paracas, Ica, and Huacachina tour from Lima, with Ballestas wildlife, pisco tasting, dune buggies, costs, and tips.

“The activities in this trip were fun and very well organized, but beware, it IS a super long day (17+ hours). The day is full of activities and flies by, but the return ride home drags on forever. We were picked up at 4:30a and dropped off at 9:45p. We booked an English tour but we were the only 2 English speaking passengers out of 32 on this trip. The guide did the entire tour in Spanish and then came and gave us a shortened description in English. It wasn't ideal and made us feel isolated as it did not allow us to mingle with other passengers on this tour.…”
