Inca Quarry Trail to MachuPicchu 4 Days

Inca Quarry Trail to Machu Picchu is only offered by a few companies because it is so off of the beaten path(hidden inca Quarry trail). It is less traveled than the classic Inca trail . there are opportunities to interact with local communities and to visit smaller and less known Inca archaeological sites and the beautiful mountain vistas of the Vilcabamba and Urubamba, inca jungle trek.

Adventures mountain ranges provide the opportunity to encounter dramatic landscapes. Along the Quarry trail we will get to experience the lifestyles of Quechua farming communities, whose culture and customs have not changed for centuries. We will travel through traditional villages like Socma and Rayan.

This trek is recommended for people who like solitude and exploring the less popular route to Machu Picchu. The probable highlight and last day of the trek will take place exploring the “Lost city of the Inca”, Machu Picchu and traveling back to Cusco by train. The Quarry Trail to Machu Picchu is perfect for those who want to head off-the-beaten-path.

Excelente experiencia y servicio Es una agencia muy responsable y organizada. No nos tuvimos que preocupar por nada porque siempre todo estuvo listo para nosotros. Las personas que apoyaron el proceso siempre fueron muy puntuales en las horas de salida de cada uno de los tours. Lía y Nancy se portaron muy bien y nos acogieron de una forma muy familiar, siempre estuvieron pendientes de nosotros. Quiero dejar una observación que no tiene que ver con la agencia sino con los guías en general de todo cusco y es que al ir en estos planes guiados generalmente se va con afán y se dedica muy poco tiempo a los centros arqueológicos para luego dedicarse a sitios de artesanías o a negocios que no tienen qué ver con arqueología.Los agencia y sus personas muy bien. Gracias por todo.

Viaje soñado Recomiendo 100% esta agencia. Comprometidos con sus clientes. Organizaron todos nuestros tours, no tuvimos que preocuparnos de nada. Adecuada duración de los tour, transporte ok, tiempo para explicación y para toma de fotografías. Comida muy rica. Estaban constantemente preocupados de que tuviéramos una bonita experiencia, atentos a nuestras consultas y/o sugerencias. Los guías bien preparados, dominio del inglés y español, destacamos a David, atento, amable, muy simpático, buena explicación de los sitios que visitamos y excelente fotógrafo. También nos encantó el guía Edgar que nos llevó a Machu Picchu, muy atento y amable, gran carisma, profundo conocimiento de la cultura andina. Si tuviera que mejorar algo sugeriría que al regreso nos dejaran en nuestro respectivo hotel y que los guías tuvieran una adecuada presentación personal (vestimenta, peinado, etc)

Super Agência a melhor de Lima - RECOMENDADISSIMA Normalmente eu mesmo faço a programação, porém como não estava encontrando tickets para Machu Picchu, busquei no google agencias em Cuzco. Encontrei a Dreamy Tours, que desde o primeiro contato ao telefone, preparou todo o roteiro, desde a recepção em Cuzco no aeroporto até o retorno para Lima sem esquecer os 2 dias de Lima para Nazca.Super recomendo a Dreamy Tours, simpáticos, atenciosos... Só tenho que agradecer a agência. A Dreamy preparou os passeios em Cuzco: Maras Moray, Vale Sagrado, Trem para Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu, Montanha de 7 Cores, City Tour em Cuzco. e em Lima, Translado até Nazca em carro particular, Voo para ver as linhas de Nazca, Ica, Huacachina, Ilha Ballestas, Vinhedo Ica e retorno até LIma.Sensacional todos os passeios.. Novamente super recomendo a agência.

Excelente Agencia Recomiendo totalmente a la agencia, la logística es excepcional en Cusco, pero en lima, hay que mejorar debido a las impuntualidades de recogida en cada punto y al conocimiento del guía.
