Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- FredySalomaCusco, Peru22 contributionsWith a friends of Poland. The vibrant energy is most noticeable in the bustling Plaza de Armas, Vegent food, Ceviche, CausaWritten 25 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Willowbroom SamHouston, TX1,388 contributionsA huge town surrounded by big walls. Per the guide, this was pre Inca, I.e. the Wari dynasty. A beautiful princess of the town said she would marry the person who got water to the village. Two men competed and one was successful in getting water from the huanatay lake. One can see two channels in the mountains.
The town was built like a perfect rectangle with rectangular homes and absolutely straight pathways/ walkways. Almost three floor high walls and homes.
The guide told us that seven columns were found and each column had the skeleton of a man. And that this was an honor for the men to give up their lives for building the erect columns.
Gypsum plastering is found in walls and floors. Sh was also found leading tk the belief that the volcanic mountain behind the city may have erupted making the people abandon the place.
He told me that the place was eventually used by Incas as a concentration camp for prisoners.
A visit with a tour guide is a must. Otherwise one will just see some old broken ruins and cannot appreciate the history.Written 31 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Lovely friendly bars in courtyard outside.Written 7 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Fatima Z4 contributionsCarlos was an excellent guide on our recent trek covering the Salkantay trail, Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain.
During the treks, he was a calm presence able to deal with any challenges and also consider the needs of individuals whilst keeping in mind the best course of action for the group as a whole. He had a wealth of information about Peruvian culture and Inca history. He was also great fun to be around. Would definitely trek with Carlos again!Written 21 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
