Surprising Taqrachullo Ever since I read about Taqrachullo, I knew I had to go! I looked for agencies in Cusco, but none offered the tour specifically; however, when I inquired with Travel Peru Agency, Johan explained that he could arrange a private tour to Taqrachullo, so I didn't hesitate to book it!! It was definitely one of the best places I visited in Cusco! Even though it is quite far from the city, we visited spots like Suyckutambo and the Three Canyons, and even met Chuno a dog considered the guardian of Taqrachullo. I highly recommend it!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Super excursion dans la jungle Super expérience avec Lincol ! La jungle est vraiment magnifique et nous avons pu voir beaucoup d'oiseaux de toutes sortes, un capybara et l’œil brillant d'un caïman dans la nuit (lors d'une sortie nocturne). Je recommande :)Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Inolvidable Ha sido una experiencia inolvidable. Ha superado nuestras expectativas. Lo mejor de nuestro viaje a Perú. La selva del Manu es impresionantemente fecunda y hemos podido observar muchos animales en su hábitat natural. Nuestro guía Lincoln es un pozo de sabiduría, respondía todas nuestras preguntas con entusiasmo y se notaba cuánto amaba la selva y la naturaleza. Nos sentimos en muy buenas manos con él. Por si esto fuera poco, Wilfredo nos cocinó riquísimo cada día y la hora de comer era una experiencia disfrutable más.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Increíble experiencia Lincoln es un guía magnífico: sabe muchísimo sobre la selva, es divertido, amable, nos ha enseñado todos los entresijos del Manu. Gracias a él hemos hecho una pequeña inmersión preciosa en la selva. También querría mencionar al chofer Percy, que nos llevó por aquellas carreteritas de la selva de manera muy segura y genial. El cocinero Wildfredo, fue también magnífico. Nos cocinó comida peruana riquísima y en gran abundancia. Ha sido una experiencia única y la recomiendo muchísimo.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

De las mejores experiencias de mi vida. No te lo pierdas Mi cabeza sigue en la selva, seguirá ahí durante el resto de mi vida. Hemos aprendido mucho de la fauna y la flora del Manu. Lincoln nos ha guiado y ha sido como ir caminando con un libro abierto. Ha contestado con mucha pasión a todas nuestras preguntas, satisfaciendo nuestras inquietudes y fomentando mucha cariño por la naturaleza y la vida de la selva. Creo que es difícil mejorar la experiencia. Gracias también a Wilfredo por hacernos comidas tan ricas y ser tan considerado conmigo, que soy vegetariana. Han sido muy generosos con nosotras y se han sentido como una familiaPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

Una aventura inolvidable Mi padre y yo cogimos el tour de 5 días/ 4 noches en la selva del Manu y fue por ahora de las mejores experiencias que hemos vivido. Nuestro guía Juan, el cocinero Wilfredo, y todos los que nos llevaron en coche, bote (Rojo, Marconchi y Percy) fueron muy amables con nosotros. Pudimos ver muchas especies de aves, entre ellas el famoso Gallito de las Rocas, cóndor blanco, halcones, oropendolas, tucanes, guacamayos.. vilos también 3 especies de monos durante las rutas caminando. Nos bañamos en el río, en una cascada en medio de la selva y en aguas termales en una poza al natural. Comimos y dormimos genial. Sin duda una experiencia para repetir!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

highly recommend this agency We started planning our trip only 15 days before departure, and without the help of Travel Peru Agency, it would never have been possible to accomplish everything we had planned in just 10 days. The entire trip was organized down to the smallest detail, always with extraordinary care to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible, without us having to worry about anything. At the end of each tour, they always made sure to check how the experience had gone and provide us with all the necessary information for the next tour, which showed constant professionalism and attention to detail. I highly recommend this agency without any hesitation, and if I ever return to Peru, I would do everything exactly the same way. I would especially like to thank Alfredo, the person in charge of the agency, for giving us such special memories on this unforgettable trip. I would also like to thank our private guides — Leo, Vilma, Lenyn, and Moisés — for all their patience, kindness, and the incredible knowledge they shared with us about the history and culture of Peru. All that remains for me to say is: “TUPANANCHISKAMA”Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Inca wonders with Peru travel agency We were very impressed with the quality of service provided by Peru Travel. The agency was punctual and had excellent communication. Through the agency, we discovered the wonders of the Sacred Valley of the Incas and the indescribable experience of Machu Picchu, always accompanied by bilingual guides. I highly recommend Peru Travel to anyone who wants to visit the Inca wonders.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Exceptional Tour Experience Around Cusco” The tour exceeded our expectations in every way. Wilfredo, our main contact, took excellent care of us and fulfilled all our requests. The guides for each part of the tour were outstanding — they provided fascinating insights into the places we visited and ensured that each day was well-structured and memorable. Everything ran smoothly, from tickets and entrances to transportation. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to actively explore Peru’s most spectacular sites around Cusco with the support of experienced guides. Insider tip: Be sure to book the additional Waynapicchu ticket — it was one of the absolute highlights of the trip.
