Cusco Tours

Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire, is one of Peru’s must-see destinations. The city and its surroundings hold unique cultural and historical treasures, combined with breathtaking landscapes. To enjoy a complete trip, choose from a variety of Cusco tours: from one-day excursions to multi-day treks that blend history, nature, and adventure.

Tours from Cusco: nature and history

Cusco tours offer something for every traveler. One of the most famous is the Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca), known for its colorful slopes and incredible views.

For trekking lovers, Cusco is paradise. The Salkantay Trek crosses the Andes with stunning landscapes and nights under starry skies 🌌.

Another legendary option is the Inca Trail, a path with more than 500 years of history leading directly to Machu Picchu. And for those looking for more adrenaline, the Inca Jungle combines trekking, biking, rivers, and even zip-lining.

Tours to Machu Picchu from Cusco

Among all Cusco tours, the most popular is without doubt the Machu Picchu tour and Sacred Valley. Machu Picchu is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the main reason many travelers come to Peru.

At Howlanders you’ll find multiple ways to visit Machu Picchu: by train, by car, at sunrise to avoid the crowds, or through trekking routes that end in the Inca city.

Tips for altitude sickness in Cusco

Cusco is located at 11,152 feet above sea level, so some travelers may experience altitude sickness: shortness of breath, headache, fatigue, or sleep issues.

👉 To reduce symptoms, stay hydrated, eat light, and avoid intense activity on your first day. We recommend starting your trip with a city tour of Cusco and leaving higher-altitude excursions such as Vinicunca, Salkantay, or even Machu Picchu for later, once your body is acclimatized.
