Our team includes professional bilingual guides, drivers, cooks, trekking staff, operations coordinators, reservation agents, customer service representatives, and administrative personnel. Each member of our team plays an important role in the journey, from planning and confirming reservations to coordinating transportation, guiding tours, preparing meals, managing logistics, and assisting travelers before, during, and after their trip.

At Machu Picchu Team, our guides are experienced local professionals with extensive knowledge of Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, the Inca Trail, Salkantay, and the main archaeological and natural attractions of the region. They are trained to provide clear, engaging, and accurate explanations about Inca history, Andean culture, archaeology, local traditions, and the natural environment. Our guides speak English and Spanish and are selected not only for their professional knowledge, but also for their ability to communicate, assist travelers, manage groups, and create a friendly and personalized experience. During each tour, they help coordinate schedules, entrance procedures, safety instructions, and the general flow of the itinerary. For trekking and adventure programs, our guides also carry essential safety equipment and are trained to respond to common situations that may arise during the journey. Their goal is to ensure that every traveler feels informed, supported, and comfortable from the beginning of the tour until the final destination. With Machu Picchu Team, a guide is more than someone who explains the places you visit. Our guides are local hosts, coordinators, cultural interpreters, and travel companions who help you understand the history and living culture of the Andes while making your experience in Peru more meaningful and memorable.
At Machu Picchu Team, our cooks are an essential part of every trekking and adventure experience. They are experienced professionals who specialize in preparing fresh, nutritious, and flavorful meals in remote mountain environments, helping travelers stay well-fed and energized throughout the journey. Our cooking team prepares a varied selection of Peruvian, Andean, and international dishes, using carefully selected ingredients and adapting menus to the conditions of each route. Breakfasts, lunches, dinners, soups, snacks, and hot drinks are prepared with attention to quality, hygiene, presentation, and nutritional balance. We also accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other special dietary requirements when informed in advance. Our cooks work closely with the guides, porters, horsemen, and operations staff to ensure that meals are served on time and that travelers receive appropriate food after demanding hiking days. More than simply preparing meals, our cooks contribute to the overall trekking experience by introducing travelers to the flavors and ingredients of Peru. Their dedication, creativity, and ability to prepare excellent food in challenging environments make them an important part of the Machu Picchu Team experience.
