Explore Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu in seven days with small groups, guided visits, hotels, trains, and transfers.

“Our experience with Vipac’s New Dawn in Machu Picchu tour was truly outstanding. The 7-day journey through Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu was flawlessly planned and executed. Every stop brought something new and awe-inspiring, and we were always met by an English-speaking guide who was not only knowledgeable but also added so much local color and context to every experience. From the vibrant streets of Lima to the ancient temples and markets of the Sacred Valley, the itinerary was both rich and well-paced. The hotels were comfortable, clean, and full of local charm—perfectly chosen to match the character of each location. The guides made the trip truly…”

Review of Kantu Peru Tours’ 7-day Cusco trip covering Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, Rainbow Mountain, Humantay Lake, Maras, and Moray.

Review of a 7-day Cusco tour covering Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, Rainbow Mountain, Humantay Lake, hotels, meals, and transport.

“We joined this 7-Day tour starting July 6, 2025 (three travelers: myself, my sister, and my cousin). Our coordinator was Yamille from Chullos Travel Peru. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet expectations. Pros: • Smooth pickup and drop-off at Cusco airport • Convenient hotel locations • Generally responsive communication Cons: • Tour vehicles were not always air-conditioned, and Cusco can get very hot. • Daily plans were not provided in advance — instructions often came last minute, making it hard to prepare. • On the City Tour, the guide arrived 30 minutes earlier than agreed; we missed the pickup and had to find the group ourselves. • Hotels had serious…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 25 reviews · 7 days (approx.) · from $769

Review of a 7-day Cusco tour covering Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, Humantay Lake, and Q’eswachaka, with costs, hikes, and tips.

“This package is cheap in comparison to other travel packages BUT the accommodation, food, transportation and activities were excellent. Everything is arranged for you, you just have to purchase the tour and show up. My only advice to people who will purchase this package is to be somewhat "physically fit". This tour requires a lot of hiking/trekking on mountains. Other than that, I am so happy I purchased this package. I will definitely return to Peru.”
