Choosing the right tour operator can make a major difference in your experience in Peru. At Machu Picchu Team, we combine local knowledge, professional organization, experienced staff, exclusive facilities, and carefully designed itineraries to provide travelers with a reliable and memorable journey through Cusco, Machu Picchu, and the Peruvian Andes.
Machu Picchu Team is a 100% local tour operator based in Cusco, Peru. Our team lives and works in the region, giving us first-hand knowledge of the destinations, routes, local communities, weather conditions, logistics, and cultural traditions of the Andes. Working directly with a local operator also means better coordination and faster assistance before, during, and after your tour. Our operations are managed locally, allowing us to respond efficiently to changes and provide personalized support throughout your journey.
We believe that excellent travel experiences should be offered at fair and competitive prices based on the local tourism market in Cusco. Because we operate many of our tours directly, we can reduce unnecessary intermediaries and offer travelers good value without compromising the quality of the service. Our goal is to provide well-organized tours, professional staff, comfortable accommodations, and reliable logistics at reasonable prices.
Behind every Machu Picchu Team tour is a group of experienced professionals dedicated to making your journey run smoothly. Our team includes professional tour guides, reservation and sales staff, operations coordinators, cooks, drivers, porters, muleteers, and support personnel with experience in the main destinations and trekking routes throughout the Cusco region. Each department plays an important role, from organizing your reservation and transportation to preparing meals, guiding you through archaeological sites, coordinating campsites, and assisting you throughout the adventure.
One of the experiences that makes our Salkantay programs special is our Sky Star Crystal Domes. These accommodations are designed to provide travelers with greater comfort while remaining surrounded by the spectacular natural environment of the Andes. Their panoramic design allows guests to enjoy mountain scenery and the night sky while resting after a day of trekking. Our goal is to transform the overnight experience into an important and memorable part of the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu.
For travelers looking to add more adventure to their trek, Machu Picchu Team operates its own zipline experience in the Lucmabamba area along the Salkantay route. This provides an exciting alternative activity surrounded by the landscapes of the cloud forest and allows us to coordinate the experience directly as part of our trekking operations. Having our own operation also helps us maintain better coordination between the trekking itinerary, transportation, guides, equipment, and activities.
Traveling to another country requires confidence in the company organizing your trip. For this reason, Machu Picchu Team has a physical main office in the historic center of Cusco, easily accessible to our travelers. Our office gives customers a place where they can speak directly with our team, complete their pre-tour briefing, confirm reservations, receive travel information, make final arrangements, and request assistance before or after their tour. Having a local office provides additional support and gives travelers the reassurance of knowing exactly where to find our team while they are in Cusco.
Accommodation is an important part of any multi-day trek. Machu Picchu Team works with carefully selected and exclusive camping areas designed to provide travelers with a more comfortable and organized experience. Our camps are strategically located along trekking routes and are coordinated with our operations team to provide accommodation, meals, rest areas, and the support travelers need after long hiking days. By managing our camping experience carefully, we can maintain greater consistency in the quality of our trekking programs.
Our itineraries are designed to help travelers experience more than simply reaching the final destination. We carefully organize hiking times, transportation, meals, activities, viewpoints, cultural experiences, accommodation, and rest periods so that each journey offers a balanced combination of adventure and discovery. Depending on the tour, our itineraries may include experiences such as mountain viewpoints, local communities, coffee plantations, Andean landscapes, archaeological sites, adventure activities, and unique accommodation. Our objective is to create routes that allow travelers to enjoy each destination rather than simply moving from one place to another.
From the moment you contact us until your tour is completed, our team is available to assist you with your travel arrangements. We help travelers with questions about Machu Picchu tickets, trekking preparation, transportation, accommodation, packing, altitude, dietary requirements, optional activities, and tour logistics. Because every traveler is different, we aim to provide clear information and personalized assistance according to the itinerary and individual needs of each passenger.
Being based in Cusco allows us to offer more than transportation and guided tours. Our local team understands the history, traditions, geography, communities, and culture of the places our travelers visit. We want every journey with Machu Picchu Team to provide a deeper connection with the Andes, Inca heritage, local communities, and natural landscapes of Peru.
A successful trip depends on many details working together. Our operations team coordinates transportation, guides, accommodation, meals, tickets, equipment, campsites, activities, and other services required for each itinerary. This organization allows our travelers to focus on enjoying their journey while our team takes care of the logistics behind the scenes.
At Machu Picchu Team, our goal is not simply to take travelers to Machu Picchu. We want every journey to become a complete experience that combines adventure, culture, nature, comfort, local knowledge, and professional service. Whether you choose the Salkantay Trek, Inca Trail, Machu Picchu by Train, Rainbow Mountain, Sacred Valley, Inca Jungle, or another adventure in Cusco, our team works to make every stage of your trip memorable.
