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.

    Visiting this ancient site was amazing! The massive stone structures are impressive and well-preserved. The views are stunning, and the history feels alive. A must-see if you love culture and nature. Highly recommend!

    Traveling with Terra Quechua Peru was an extraordinary experience, I went with a group of friends and the level of professionalism of the agency impressed us. The first day was quite gentle, which allowed us to acclimatize before the longer hikes of the following days. The scenery was out of this world, and each day seemed better than the last. Most exciting was camping in the mountains with incredible views and sharing stories around the campfire.

    The activities included stops at various archaeological sites, and the guide explained the importance of each. We loved the food, which was surprisingly varied and tasty for being in the middle of nature. On the fourth day, arriving at Machu Picchu was a magical moment. Feeling the effort of the previous days and finally seeing the citadel was an unforgettable experience.

    My girlfriend and I did the 2 day tour to the Humantay Lagoon with Terra Quechua Peru and it was a spectacular experience. The organization was excellent, from the transportation to the guides, everything was very well planned. The scenery of the lagoon is breathtaking and the service was first class. We definitely recommend Terra Quechua Peru for their professionalism and excellent service, an unforgettable experience that we will definitely repeat!

    A city with a rich history, reflecting a combination of old and new. I enjoyed the fact that there is the city center and then there are remains of stone structures on the outskirts.

    I ran early every morning in Cusco on various cobblestone streets and made it a point to cover San Pedro market on my route.

    Located about 10mins away by walk from Plaza de Armas, San Pedro Market is a bustling marketplace that reflects the essence of local life. Your visit to Cusco is incomplete without visiting this market.

    Vendors display their crafts, food, and textiles. In the late afternoon and evenings, we saw here locals mingle, sharing stories and smiles.

    The colors, sounds, and scents of the market in the early morning hours are just to be experienced! The market offers a great opportunity to engage with the community and every purchase supports local families and traditions.

    On the New Yeas Eve, everything was decorated in bright yellow color(signifies good luck and prosperity, per the locals). This included even the cats, dogs, alpaca that wore fancy dresses colored yellow. The street balconies were decorated with yellow balloons and ribbons. Wow, truly colorful!

    My favorite was the fruit market in the mornings...wheel barrels that were fully loaded with colorful grapes! Coming back home, and when I see the grapes in Costco(produce of Peru), it reminds me of the San Pedro market!

    Tips:
    -Visit the market early in morning(must) and evenings(when the lights come on). See the colorful fruits, flowers veggies etc.
    -Take your camera with you.
    - You can bargain the prices . It is a common practice and widely accepted in the market.

    It was just a 5mins walk from our hotel. This was a religious center and a sacred place where appreciation was shown for Inti(Inca Sun God).To enter the temple, worshippers needed to have been barefoot, fasting and carrying a heavy load upon their back as a sign of humility to the god. Please visit the place with a local guide.

    Very 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.

    I 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.

    Pick 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.

    The Terra Quechua Peru team not only took us to the Montaña de Colores, but immersed us in a profound cultural experience. Every step to the top was full of discoveries, from the unique flora and fauna to the changes in the landscape that reveal centuries of geological history. I highly recommend this agency not only for their professionalism and knowledge, but for their commitment to sustainable tourism that respects and protects this incredible natural environment.

    I was on a half day city tour with Travel 1 Tours and this was one of the 4 stops. There is a slight uphill walk to the main site on a dirt/gavel road. A couple of local vendors are located just pass the 1st water feature area. Bathrooms are at the entrance of the site.

    Tambomachay is known by the names of "Inca Bath" and "The Temple of Fertility”. Crystal clear water still runs through its aqueducts. The Incas used their ingenuity to channel the water from a small waterfall and divide it into 2 waterfalls. Legend has it that if women drink from these waters they can easily conceive; if the water comes from the right side of the fall, they will have a male child; if it comes from the left side, it is a female. Only the Inca and his entourage could use its facilities.

    We’re from the United States and had always dreamed of doing a trek in the Andes. A friend recommended Terra Quechua Peru to us, and we couldn’t be happier with their service! The Ausangate Trek was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The landscapes were absolutely surreal—snow-capped peaks, turquoise lakes, and vibrant rainbow mountains. Hiking alongside alpacas and llamas felt like something out of a storybook. The team took excellent care of us, from setting up cozy campsites to preparing delicious meals that kept us energized. Traveling with my best friends made it even more special, and Terra Quechua Perú made sure every detail was perfect. If you’re planning an adventure like this, they’re the agency to trust

    I was on a half day tour with Sur Tours and this was one of the sites that we visited.
    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.
