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.

What travellers are saying
- happykoabugHonolulu, HI704 contributionsI was on a half day city tour with Travel 1 Tour and this was one of 4 stops. This site was so impressive and massive that I could have spent hours checking it out. It is spread out across a large area that you never felt crowded by other visitors. Bathrooms are by the lower parking lot.
This archaeological site located on a hilltop overlooking the city and adjacent valley was built with huge stones by the Inca Pachacutec in the 15th c. Saqsaywaman is an impressive complex which had both a religious and military purpose. The fortress, known as the 'storehouse of the sun', incorporates some of the largest black stones ever used in a building, some weighing nearly 300 tons. The zig-zag walls represent the teeth of the sacred puma and provide an excellent defensive structure. The stones fit so perfectly together without mortar that not even moss can grow in the cracks. Massive stone terraces line the site, along with ruins of large structures whose origins are, like much of what the Incas left behind, shrouded in mystery.Written 3 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My husband and I wanted a different kind of adventure and this tour was exactly what we were looking for. The hikes were demanding, but the rewards in the form of scenic views and Inca ruins made it worth it. The guide Adrian was very professional and shared fascinating stories about the culture and history of the Incas.
The activities were well distributed, with time to rest, explore archaeological sites and enjoy the meals prepared by the team cooks. The nights in the camps were very quiet. Arrival at Machu Picchu was the perfect culmination of a trip full of challenges, but also of gratitude for all that we experienced together. Terra Quechua Peru organized everything beautifullyWritten 7 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The hike was a little demanding, but the views all the way were spectacular, and the arrival at the turquoise lagoon was magical. Our guide was excellent, always attentive and explaining interesting facts about the place.
After the walk, we were offered a delicious lunch which we enjoyed in an incredible setting.Written 5 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I enjoyed the fact that there is the city center and then there are remains of stone structures on the outskirts.Written 13 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- adrenalinejunkie007Los Angeles, CA85 contributionsVery beautiful and serene stop. The entrance ticket covers the whole complex and has so much to see. Sadly you're not able to photograph to remember. Guides are available outside to explain more of what you're seeing, which can be helpful especially if you're not of the Catholic faith. Would definitely recommend.Written 31 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- libelle622Stroud, UK154 contributionsPick up on time. Short ride to the Plentarium. A talk about the animals the Inca saw in the Milky Way. Out to look through telescopes at stars, constellations and a planet that was visible. All well sorted by very enthusiastic staff.Written 12 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jared EPoway, CA11 contributionsI love chocolate! So when we found we had an extra day of acclimating before trekking through Peru, I booked the Bean to Bar workshop for my wife and I. Our "Willy Wonka" instructor was fabulous. She was funny, informative, and interacted with our entire group. We completed almost the entire process of making chocolate from picking our our beans, roasting them, peeling, making them into paste, and even more along the way. We had competitions and laughed throughout the tour. In the end, we were provided with our choice of dark or milk chocolate to mold and take home with us.
If you have a couple of extra hours in Cusco and you love chocolate, I highly recommend this tour.Written 4 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - happykoabugHonolulu, HI704 contributionsThe tour from "Transport to cochahuasi animal shelter" on Viator.com was an excellent choice to see the sanctuary. I was picked up at 830 am from my hotel and once we reached the sanctuary I had a private 1 hour tour with the director. The animals were being fed breakfast so all were out and about. I asked if wings of the various birds were clipped to prevent them from flying but nope, the birds choose to stay on their own out in the open. I loved that one of the female Andean goose kept following the director who would pet her and she would coo. My main reason was to see the Andean condors up-close. I was pleasantly surprise that they had a spectacled bear who was named Juliette.Written 5 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ruvy R1 contributionMyself and a friends decided to do a trek in Peru but as amateur trekkers we did not know where to even begin. We stumbled upon Local Trekkers Peru during our long search for the right trekking company and immediately warmed to the accomodating and helpful nature of Alberto the manager. He was able to help with any questions we had, at any hour and also made organising the trek incredibly easy.
The trek itself was incredible and very hard Our guide Hendrik was incredibly professional, caring, funny and knowledgable in aspects of the trek's culture, religion, landscape, weather, inca’s history and much more. We could not be happier with our awesome guide who truly made our trek the best it could have possibly been!
We arrived to the rainbow mountain on the third day and was the best day of the entire Trek, is not easy to get there but once there is really Amazing how the nature could build a mountain with seven o more different colours we arrived much early than other people and we could better enjoy the mountain just for us, that was something i will nver forget.
We had an excellent cookman Paulino called the Master Chef from de Andes, and that was not a lie because he prepared us the best peruvian food we tried before, all meals was served in a buffet style always a lot to reload energy to continue until the end of the Trek thanks to him we were able to do and finish this challenge Trek. Also our horseman Augusto was very helpful carrying all food and equipment with their horses.
I would highly recommend Local Trekkers Peru not only for their excellent service but also for the extraordinary experieces we had with them I will definitely be using this company for our next trek as well.Written 20 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Incan archaeological complex of Tipon is known for its water channels and agricultural terraces (andenes) which were built to create microclimates that enabled the Incas to experiment with hybrid cereals and crops, one reason why Peru today produces more than 3,000 varieties of potato. The water channels of Tipon are believed to be used as a ceremonial centre by the Incas to worship water. Water continues to flow in them, 500 years after their construction. There are various trails from the main one to visit several buildings.Written 3 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
