Meeting Point
At your hotel
Your hotel, Cusco - Start of the Tour
You will be picked up from your hotel in Cusco a bit earlier than most other tours to avoid the crowds. With a private transport we travel over the mountains to our first stop - the archaeological site of Pisac at the beginning of the Sacred Valley. During the guided tour of the ruins here your guide will introduce you to the history and culture of the Incas while exploring the temples, altars, carvings, tunnels, and more together.
Pisac
We will wander through the traditional and colorful market of Pisac, and you will have the opportunity to browse or buy beautiful handicrafts, souvenirs, local fruits, vegetables, and other natural products. After about 30 minutes here, we continue our journey through the Sacred Valley and will stop in one of the towns along the Urubamba river for lunch (included).
Ollantaytambo
We will make our way to the archaeological site of Ollantaytambo with impressive Inca constructions and perfectly carved terraces in mountain setting where you will learn more about the Incas with your dedicated tour guide.
Chinchero
For our final stop in the Sacred Valley, we visit Chinchero, a beautiful colonial-era village where you will be fully immersed into the Andean community and culture. You’ll learn about Peruvian weaving and textile coloring from local artisans, all still done using traditional Inca techniques - knowledge passed down from generation to generation.
Your hotel, Cusco - End of the Tour
Expected return to Cusco.

About Tour Guide Michael L.
Hola! My name is Michael, but my friends call me Mike, so please do call me that too. I am a licensed tour guide in Peru with a degree in tourism and archaeology and a lot of passion for my culture and my country that I love sharing. This is why I love so much to be a guide and I am looking forward to welcoming you to my beautiful country to learn more about its incredible history and nature. With me, you are ensured to get a quality, authentic experience of the real Peru through the eyes of locals.
I was fortunate to be born and raised in Cusco, the ancient capital of the Incas. I have been working in tourism there for over 20 years, and during that time I have also hiked the Inca Trail professionally over 500 times! The Andes mountains are my home. I like meeting people from different parts of the world. I have traveled myself mostly all over South America but not much beyond. The tourists I am lucky enough to meet and assist also give me much back in terms of learning about other cultures and perspectives.
Since the start of this year I've been offering virtual tours in Cusco as well as Machu Picchu using a gimbal giving you the option to learn more about these magnificent places from the comfort of your couch. I like to share a lot of knowledge with virtual travelers to bring Cusco and Machu Picchu to life, but I also try to be as interactive as possible so that you feel like you're walking in these locations with me.
Hope to meet you soon!

“Virtual Tour of Machu Picchu”
Wow! What an amazing experience! I booked this as an opportunity for our students to "travel" and learn about a place we are unable to visit in person. Michael did an excellent job on this tour. He created a truly unique educational experience for our students and families. I have received many notes of positive feedback stating how much they enjoyed this experience. Michael was communicative through the whole process ensuring that the tour would meet the needs of our group. He was patient as we worked through some technical difficulties on our end. I would 100% recommend this tour. Thank you Michael for bringing the beauty of Peru and Machu Picchu to our homes.
