Peru Tours: Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, Cusco & Huacachina
Peru is the gateway to the Andes — Inca citadels, glacier lagoons, Pacific coastline and high-altitude desert in a single trip. From Cusco we run the classic Machu Picchu by train and Sacred Valley VIP itineraries; from Lima we connect to Paracas and the Huacachina oasis. Every tour ships with a bilingual guide, transfers, and meals where listed.
Why travel with Madre Tierra
We book direct with the operators we use ourselves, so prices stay transparent in USD and the same price works whether you contact us in Portuguese, Spanish, or English. Reservations go through WhatsApp — no portals, no surprise fees.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the best time to visit Machu Picchu?
- Dry season (May–October) gives the clearest views and most reliable train service. April and November are quieter shoulder months with greener landscapes; December–March is rainy season and the Inca Trail closes in February.
- Do I need to acclimatise before high-altitude tours?
- Yes — Cusco sits at 3,400 m. Plan for at least 24 hours of light activity before tours like Humantay Lagoon (4,200 m) or Rainbow Mountain. Coca tea, hydration, and a slow first day help most travellers.
- What languages do your guides speak?
- All our group tours run in Spanish + English. Portuguese-speaking guides are available on request — message us on WhatsApp before you book.
- Is the Inca Trail required to reach Machu Picchu?
- No. Our Machu Picchu by Train 2D/1N package uses the panoramic Vistadome / Expedition train from Ollantaytambo, with a hotel night in Aguas Calientes and entry to the citadel the next morning.
