During our trip to Cusco in 2025, I want to express my sincere gratitude to Hiker Peru, especially to Cris Fernandez. From the very beginning of our tour, he was attentive to every detail, the organization was superb, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Cusco; it's a beautiful place. Greetings from Richard and Diana

During our trip to Cusco in 2023, my mother and I were fortunate to use the services of HIKER PERU and our assigned guide, Cris Fernández. From the very beginning, Cris demonstrated remarkable professionalism, meticulously organizing our itinerary so that we wouldn't miss a single corner of this fascinating city. His local knowledge not only provided us with historical and cultural insights but also added a unique dimension to our exploration. What made the experience with HIKER PERU and Cris even more special was his meticulous attention to detail. Cris took us not only to the usual tourist destinations but also to lesser-known yet equally charming spots. Furthermore, his valuable local tips, such as pointing out the best market for authentic souvenirs and the ideal times to buy train tickets, added an invaluable personal touch. Cris's kindness and willingness to accommodate our needs created a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. More than just a tour guide, Cris became a travel companion who went out of his way to ensure we made the most of every moment in Cusco. I highly recommend HIKER PERU's services and, especially, Cris Fernandez as our guide. His dedication, knowledge, and personalized attention transformed our trip into an unforgettable experience in Cusco. Thank you to HIKER PERU and Cris for making our trip an extraordinary adventure!

Dear traveler, if you're wondering which company to use for your trip to Peru, I want to share my experience with Hiker. We contacted Cristiam because a friend of my partner had traveled to the same country some time before. At that time, we told him about our travel plans: which places we wanted to visit and what activities we wanted to do. He made suggestions tailored to what we were looking for to ensure a better experience. This allowed us to finalize the itinerary we ultimately followed. The hotels where we stayed were all in excellent locations, allowing us to do our own activities or choose our own places to have dinner when there were no more scheduled activities. All the hotels offered delicious and varied breakfasts, and all had water heating available in the rooms or lobby. We used this service a lot to make coca or muña tea. This was very helpful for acclimatizing to the altitude. As for the guides, they all provided us with valuable insights into each place we visited. These were private excursions, meaning just the two of us plus the guide, as well as group tours. The group activities mostly took place during the day, traveling from one location to another and exploring different sites. Depending on the group's composition, the guides spoke the appropriate languages, so understanding explanations wasn't a problem. In addition to visiting key points in each location according to the itinerary and getting our bearings in each town, the local guides gave us recommendations for the best restaurants and typical dishes, as well as strategies for acclimatizing to the altitude. (Pharmacies sell natural supplements that are very helpful, so don't worry about this beforehand, as you can buy them in the town before you reach the altitude.) Regarding transportation: we only took one night bus from Nazca to Arequipa on a regular bus operated by a Peruvian company. In our case, it was to make the most of the night while traveling the long distance between towns. The bus was incredibly comfortable and safe, allowing us to get a good night's rest so we could continue with our planned activities the next day. Then, at every location we needed to go to, there was always a driver who picked us up wherever we were, so we didn't have to travel on our own. The vehicles are excellent—spacious and comfortable. Everyone was very kind and punctual, and each one made us feel safe on every trip. I especially want to highlight our driver, Roger, as we spent three days with him. In addition to providing safe and comfortable transportation, he shared parts of his life and knowledge about the places we were passing through, including his family's recipes and some of his life story. Cristian communicated with us every day, several times a day. He sent us activities, recommendations, and schedules for the following day, and during the day he made sure everything went according to plan. He was available to us at all times. Peru is a destination you have to experience, and our experience with Hiker was excellent, that's why I recommend it.

We’ve just came back from an amazing trip in Peru and we are nothing but grateful that this time we have found the right and perfect agency tour that arranged our trip in the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. It has been an incredible experience, especially tailored to our needs and expectations. We were hoping to visit authentic places away from the crowd of tourists that you will find everywhere and that would meet at some point because all of them do the same route. Our hopes were not only meet but have been exceeded! The first place we didn’t expect to visit but we were so happy about was Manos de la Comunidad where you can feed and pet alpacas, llamas, vicuñas and huacanas along with a well spoken guide. After that you can also buy authentic alpaca and vicuña products. Afterwards we visited Pisaq, then a little stop to taste Cuy (guinea pig with some of us liked and others didn’t ), Maras, Moray(we were the only ones there, so peaceful and memorable) and finally Ollantaytambo where we staid overnight. The day after we went to Aguas Calientes by train (all arranged by the agency) and the day after we visited Machu Picchu Circuit 2 guided by a really qualified guide whose name is Esmeralda. Afterwards we proceeded to hike the Wayna Picchu (that you agree long before your trip). All our trip has been arranged by Christian, with whom we kept contact because some friends of ours want to travel to Peru soon and we honestly couldn’t recommend any better. Thank you Christian and thanks to all your wonderful team!!

Cristiam from Hiker Peru organized a fantastic trip for my wife and I. We had a 12 day tour which was full and extremely organized. Cristian took care of every detail, from hotel stays, pick ups guides, transportation, airfare from Lima -Arequipa and Cusco- Lima and tickets and permits to everything. Christian communicated with us everyday and ensured we were enjoying ourselves. Communication between Cristian and the guides left us feeling at ease and comfortable. We loved this trip. No complaints. Each guide he chose was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend using Hiker Peru for your Peru trip.

Excellent team! My children and I were able to enjoy Mapuche (MAPI), the Sacred Valley, Rainbow Mountain, and a well-organized city tour! The vehicles are very comfortable, air-conditioned, and spotless. They're well-spaced (maximum 12 passengers), punctual, and the staff is very friendly. The guides are their specialty... they really know what they're doing. Highly recommended! Thank you so much, HIKER PERU, and thank you, Cristian! The itinerary and every part of the trip was so well-planned that it was a truly unique experience for my children and me.

Cristiam never disappoints. He's been organizing trips to Cusco for me for 10 years now. The most amazing thing is that each trip brings new experiences. This year we explored Cusco in private transportation, with great flexibility and excellent service. The best part is always the hidden gems and magical lunches. Cristiam found some truly special places. The accommodations were also beautiful. Honestly, the whole trip was one of the best of my life. And something I'm incredibly grateful for is that there's no need to check anything beforehand. I ask Cristiam for a quote for a certain number of days, and whatever he offers, I know it will be top-notch. Everything is meticulously planned down to the last second.

I had a wonderful tour of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, organized by Christiam Fernandez of Hiker Peru. Christiam spent several hours with me, going over options for my itinerary, asking me questions in order to understand my preferences and priorities, and making the reservations/buying tickets/arranging guides, everything. The tour itself and the guide he selected through the Sacred Valley were perfect for me, full of historical and cultural information, and clear instructions for each stop. The two hotels Christiam recommended were lovely and very suited to my tastes and personal needs. I was travelling alone so Christiam made quite sure I was safe and comfortable. The Machu Picchu guide, Sandros, was excellent! Very informative and enthusiastic about the history of the area, from the engineering feats of the Inka, to the social and cultural elements of Inka life. I highly recommend Hiker Peru to any visitors to Cusco--the young and adventurous, and anyone interested in Peruvian history, beautiful Andean scenery, historical and cultural treasures, and delicious food!

My family and I had the most amazing experience with Hiker Peru Tour. Thanks to this entire team, our trip to Cusco-Machu Picchu will always be an unforgettable family experience, creating lasting memories for everyone. From the beginning Cristiam took the responsibility to coordinate our trip and made it perfect for all of us! From coordinating hotel reservations (Niños del Arcoiris, Urubamba and Hotel Aranwa in Cusco), transportation and tickets to Machu Picchu and other attractions were well organized and arranged to perfection. We cannot say enough about our Tour Guides (Jimmy in Cusco and Lisset in Machu Picchu) just unbelievable knowledgeable tour guides and spoke perfect English! And the drivers (Jorge and Jonathan) made us feel safe in the van and always on time! It takes a village and yes, we are beyond thrilled and grateful to Hiker Peru Tour and your team for making this amazing Cusco and Machu Picchu experience happen for all of us. We will come back!

When my wife and I had to unexpectedly reroute our 50-day South America tour to Lima, Peru, Chris at Hiker Perú came to our rescue. Within a day, he crafted a detailed "Mystical Cusco" program, seamlessly planning our 8-day adventure, including local train travel and Machu Picchu reservations. Upon our arrival in Cusco on January 16, 2024, Chris and his team warmly welcomed us, setting the tone for an incredible 8-day journey. Hiker's customized plan immersed us in Cusco's culture, history, and natural beauty, creating a profound connection with the local people. Throughout the trip, from Cusco city highlights to the mesmerizing Machu Picchu tour, Hiker's team, available 24/7, ensured every detail was meticulously coordinated. Engaging with local communities, exploring landmarks like Pisac, Ollantaybambo, Maras Salt Mines, Moray, Sacsyhuaman, Museo Inkariy and experiencing a welcome ceremony in traditional Andean culture, we felt a part of the region's rich tapestry. The luxury van, ground transportation, entrance fees, and airport transfers – every aspect was handled with utmost care. Hiker's exceptional service meant we didn't worry about a single detail from Cusco airport to departure. Our journey, enriched by the Hiker team's hospitality, was a luxurious and unforgettable experience. For anyone planning a visit to Cusco and Machu Picchu, I wholeheartedly recommend Hiker Perú for a trip of a lifetime. Contact them, and let Hiker guide you through an extraordinary adventure!

We went to Peru and a friend of us recommended Hiker Peru. We stated our wishes and Hiker Peru gave us some suggestions where we could choose from. It was amazing! We did not book the whole holiday with Hiker Peru, but all the activities we did book with them, where amazing. Compliments for the reliable and trustworthy service that Hiker Peru provided us. We definitely would recommend Hiker Peru.

An Unforgettable Sacred Valley Experience with Cris from Hikers Perú Our full-day trip through the Sacred Valley with Cris from Hikers Perú was nothing short of extraordinary — an experience that left a deep mark on our hearts and one we’ll be recommending to anyone heading to Peru! From the very beginning, it was clear that this wasn’t going to be your typical touristy outing. Cris crafted a tailor-made journey that took into account our individual interests and needs, while seamlessly blending the must-see landmarks with hidden gems—places we’d never have found on our own. Thanks to his flawless timing, we often had sites completely to ourselves, making the moments feel even more special and immersive. Cris is everything you hope for in a guide: warm, kind, deeply knowledgeable, and truly passionate about his heritage. He’s a local expert with years of experience, and his excellent English made everything so smooth and easy. Throughout the day, he shared rich stories, cultural insights, and personal connections to the land that made every stop meaningful. We traveled in a spotless, comfortable car with panoramic windows, and were thoughtfully provided with water and local sweets — just one of many touches that showed how much care went into the experience. A real highlight was the picnic lunch, set up in a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path location that supports a local charity foundation for children. Eating surrounded by stunning nature while knowing our meal was supporting a good cause made it all the more unforgettable — a lunch with a purpose. Despite the long distances across the Sacred Valley, Cris managed to fit in all the key sights without it ever feeling rushed. It’s hard to believe how much we saw and experienced in just one day! We’re so grateful to Cris and Hikers Perú for an incredible, heartfelt journey. If you’re looking for a truly unique, authentic, and expertly guided experience in Peru, look no further. Highly, highly recommended

Christian organized a wonderful private day trip from Cusco to Machu Picchu for my wife and I. Everything was smooth and professional, from the prompt pickup at our address by an excellent driver in a clean, spacious minivan, to providing the train, bus, and Machu Picchu tickets digitally the day before, to a friendly and knowledgeable guide on the mountain and regular check/ins to ensure everything was OK. We would highly recommend Christian’s services to others.
William Laufs
We booked a private 1.5 day tour through Hiker based on a friend's recommendation and were very pleased. The guide Jimmy was very knowledgeable, personable, and more than willing to answer questions. He was also very patient and agile able to adjust plans and accommodate the needs of 4 adults traveling with three small children.

FAQs

Q: Do I need to be an experienced hiker?

A: Not at all. Our Easy and Moderate experiences are designed for active travelers who may not have trekked before, including senior travelers in good general health. We calibrate every day’s pace to you. There is no such thing as falling behind us.

A: Cusco sits at 3,400m; acclimatization is a real consideration. We build deliberate acclimatization days into every itinerary, recommend arriving one to two days before the trek begins, and our guides are trained in altitude health protocols. We take it seriously so you don’t have to worry about it.

A: May through October is the dry season in the Andes. Clear skies, cooler nights, and optimal trail conditions. We do operate year-round, and the wet season brings its own extraordinary beauty, but for most guests we recommend the dry months for a first Andean experience.

A: Yes, and they sell out. Machu Picchu entry is strictly controlled with daily limits and timed entry slots. We handle every permit, reservation, and access arrangement for you. You simply arrive. We have not once had a client refused entry.

A: Every Hiker Perú journey includes: private expert guide, all hotel accommodations (4 or 5-star), all curated restaurant dinners, all private transfers, all entrance fees and permits, and 24/7 support from our Cusco team.

After being in the Peru’s tourism industry for more than 10 years, I noticed that many visitors were traveling through the country on rushed, one-size-fits-all itineraries. Peru, and especially the Cusco region, is a paradise for travelers who want to explore the Andes and discover the remarkable legacy of one of history’s greatest civilizations, whose final chapter was written by the Incas. There are iconic trails, breathtaking landscapes, and hidden places that most tour companies simply don’t include in their itineraries.

I also realized that many travelers were looking for these authentic experiences without giving up comfort. They wanted to explore during the day while enjoying premium transportation, outstanding restaurants, and carefully selected hotels. That’s how Hiker Peru was born.

We created Hiker Peru for travelers who want the perfect balance between adventure and comfort. Our journeys range from gentle hikes designed for active senior travelers to more challenging treks for those who want to push themselves while experiencing the beauty of the Andes. My personal commitment is to provide thoughtful planning, exceptional service, and genuine local expertise, ensuring that every guest experiences the very best of Peru in comfort, safety, and style.
