About Us
Private tour of moray, Maras, ollaytamtambo and pisac Highly recommend this company - Carlos was a great guide, perfect English, passionate about his work and gave us many insights during our two days of guidance. We liked the first day so much that we booked another day with him. Cristobal the driver was lovely & friendly too and drove safely and well. The ruins were so much more interesting and rewarding with Carlos' knowledge. He took us to the less touristy parts of the ruins and provides architecture insights and history background as well. We also got lots of good food tips from him too and information about Peru and the Cusco region. We were initially hesitant in booking as it seems a bit expensive; however we would recommend that you just go ahead and book your tour! It's great and really worth it!Henry from New Zealand2023-09-15Outstanding Private Tour with Come See Peru We did a half day tour of the Sacred Valley, Moray, and Maras Salt Mines from Ollantaytambo with Carlos and Mario and they were outstanding and knowledgeable. Booking the tour was easy and they were very responsive to answer all my questions. They were right on time to pick us up from the hotel and their planning was perfect as we missed most of the crowd when we visited Moray and Maras Salt Mines. Carlos is professional, kind, passionate, and extremely knowledgeable. Having both of them who knew all the ins and outs of the area also take care to make sure we enjoyed ourselves made the entire trip memorable.Victor P2023-08-24Wonderful and Productive Private Tour Wonderful tour by Carlos and superb driving by Mario. We were looking for transportation options from Ollantaytambo to Cusco, so figured why not get a tour out of it. No regrets. Enjoyed seeing Ollantaytambo and Moray ruins, Maras Salt Mines, and Pisac. They were very flexible with the start time. And not to mention, Carlos is an excellent storyteller and an amazing photographer. I highly recommend tours by this operator. Cheers!Palak P2023-08-17Amazing tri to Rainbow Mountain What an amazing experience! I decided last minute to go see Rainbow Mountain and wanted it to be a special experience. Juan Carlos organized everything, making sure I was comfortable with the hike, the trip and the food for the day. My guide Matt was very knowledgeable, told me so many stories, shared traditions, essential oils and made the experience unforgettable. The drive was long but very comfortable, the food was really good and the views are just magical. The kindness of all people involved made the trip even more special. Thank you!Laure C2023-07-11Best tour ever! Best tour ever!! ComeSeePeru brought us around the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu over three days from Urubamba. Carlos, our guide, was excellent, informative and knowledgeable - he took care to plan our schedule so we visited each site at the least crowded times. Mario, our driver, was also very skilled, and the van was very spacious and comfortable. Carlos and Mario went above and beyond to make our Sacred Valley experience a great one. We were sadly down with food poisoning, and Carlos helped with altitude sickness medicine and tea and drove us to the nearest pharmacies to get medicine. When we were tired after having to walk to the Moray ruins due to a road closure, Mario also drove up by a separate route to meet us by the end point, so we wouldn’t have to walk back again. All in all, ComeSeePeru made our honeymoon experience in Peru an amazing one! 100% would recommend for anyone looking for a thoughtful, well planned and insightful tour in the Sacred Valley.Sandra C2023-07-08Unforgettable experience with Come See Peru We had such a great time in Peru due to “Come See Peru”. Our guide Carlos and Driver Mario, took care of us like our family. We did 5 days tour with them from picking up from the airport till dropping us off it was just amazing! It was a very personalized experience.Iman2023-06-06The perfect private tour experience The BEST way to tour is with a small private tour and the team at come see Peru made the experience absolutely incredible. Nothing was rushed and the whole experience was calm, fun and educational. I booked really last minute at 9pm the night before our tour, Julio was a great help and was able to accommodate all of our requests. He arranged a slightly later collection for us as we had just spent a day travelling by minibus. Carlitos our guide was superb, his English is great. He was full of knowledge and able to answer every question we had about the 2 sites we visited. We also made an extra stop in Moras at a local families store for products from the salt mines and an additional explanation of how the salt flats are used. Nothing was too much trouble for our driver Cristóbal who was glad to stop at additional view points along the way and even took us to a fantastic lunch spot before driving us back to Urumbamba. The whole team went above and beyond our expectations and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.Elizabeth L2023-03-31Maravillosa Nuestra experiencia fue magnifica... Ir por primera vez a Cusco y conocer de la mano de mi guia Carlos ,las Maravillas de Cusco.

Nestled high in the Peruvian Andes, the city of Cusco is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and fascinating history of the Inca civilization. At the heart of the city is the Plaza de Armas, a bustling plaza surrounded by colonial buildings, churches and the imposing Cathedral of Cusco. From here, narrow cobblestone streets wind through the historic center, leading to hidden courtyards, colorful markets and artisan workshops where traditional crafts are still practiced today.
Cusco is also famous for its archaeological wonders, such as the iconic ruins of Sacsayhuaman, Qenko and Tambomachay, located on the surrounding hillsides. But Cusco is more than just a living museum: it is a vibrant, dynamic city that pulses with energy day and night. Visitors can dive into the local culture by sampling traditional Peruvian dishes in bustling markets, participating in colorful festivals and parades, or simply soaking in the breathtaking panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains from one of its many lookout points. Either exploring its ancient ruins, savoring its culinary delights or simply strolling through its charming streets, Cusco captivates the hearts and imaginations of everyone visiting it, offering a truly unforgettable experience in the heart of the Andes.

Travel destroys racism
Did you know that travel destroys racism? It is difficult to adapt suddenly to a country where everything is different.

At times even if you find it difficult to accept it, you may end up falling in love with the traditions, and food. You may want to dress the same.
Tips & Travel Information About Cusco
If you are in Cusco and you wish to explore the city and its surroundings then this travel guide could help you plan your adventure around the city. Although many believe that the city of Cusco is small enough to get lost. It is really big and its streets are quite narrow. So it is good to know a little bit about the names of the streets. Especially, those where your hotel is located. Keep in mind that the city of Cusco is quite safe. It has security cameras throughout the city. There is a lot of police around which will make you feel even safer.
Explore Cusco from your hotel, the streets, the colorful houses, the typical dances, the traditions, the typical clothing and the people are the reason enough to visit this incredible city. Don’t miss Cusco and its amazing places that we will mention next. The city of Cusco in spite of being colonized in the years of 1533 for many does not stop being the capital of the Incas. We believe that after being destroyed by the Spaniards, it still keeps a historical value that is reflected its the people.
TRAVEL INFORMATION
Three kilometres from the city of Cusco there are enormous and important constructions. Those are from much earlier than the Inca period. In other words, they are monuments that have been there for more than 5000 years.
One of these places is the archaeological site of Sacsayhuaman. It dates back more than 5000 years. Its walls are still intact since even the Spanish could not destroy them.
Many believe that it was a fortress something like a military sector perhaps due to its enormous walls. Sacsayhuaman and its surrounding ruins of Qenko, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay are the nearest ruins to Cusco.
They are easily accessible by taxi, bus or even on foot from Cusco’s Plaza de Armas. Sacsayhuamán offers beautiful views of the city from the top of the surrounding mountains. A visit to this site is not something you will quickly forget. We suggest you add it to your list of places to visit in Cusco!
The neighbourhood of San Blas is a very colonial and picturesque place. A unique place that is worth visiting. A bit climb from the Cusco’s Plaza de Armas with lots of good restaurants, cafes as well small art exhibitions and craft shops. If you are in San Blas, we suggest you take a look at the attractive square and the oldest parish church in Cusco. It was built in 1563, without a doubt this place is a must-see..

Just a few minutes from the main square of Cusco is the street of Hatunrumiyoc. It is also known as the street with the big Stone. On this street there is a green diorite stone wall built long before the Incas and keeps one of the most famous pieces of Cusco. To this day, the twelve angled stone is quite visited by tourists. For local archaeologists, this stone would represent the months of the year according to the Inca calendar, or 12 important days. There is a lot of speculation about it but the truth is if you remove it, the whole wall could fall down. You can also visit it during your walking tour around the city.
The Qoricancha according to the Spanish chroniclers was one of the most impressive buildings in Cusco. It is believed its walls had been fully covered with gold sheets. It was the main temple where the Inca god, the Inti (Sun), was worshipped. The Incas could only enter the place by fasting, barefoot as it was a holy temple of worship. In the year 1950, a huge earthquake shook Cusco causing around 5000 deaths and almost 80% of the buildings built by the Spanish collapsed. The walls (Inca) were able to resist without any problem. Today the place has become quite popular for the kind of architecture that this temple displays making the tourists speechless. To visit this temple you have to buy an entrance ticket that costs 15 soles, you can visit the place from Monday to Saturday from 8 am to 5:30 pm.
