聖なる谷からマチュピチュへ

Wanted to give a 5x recommendation to both Tierras Vivas, and Nico, our guide once we moved on from Ollantaytambo to walk the KM104 into Machu Picchu. At 65 years old we were unsure how we would manage the 11km trek, but Nico looked after us brilliantly.

We just came back from 3 days tour Sacred Valley, Short Inca Trail and Mach Picchu with Tierras Vivas. It was simple amazing. Everything. From the fantastic tour guides, to the accommodations, the restaurants, the trekking, the Machu Picchu visit... all of it. Well coordinated, pace according to our abilities, informative and the nature/ruins are simple breathtaking.

From the very beginning, his communication was excellent,clear, prompt, and incredibly helpful both before and during our trip. Sami’s English is fluent, which made asking questions and learning about the history and significance of Machu Picchu such a pleasure. He has a gift for storytelling and brought the ancient citadel to life with fascinating insights and a warm, professional demeanor. He had a passion for the history of Machu Pichu. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, reliable, and a genuine pleasure to spend time with, Sami is the one. Highly recommended!

What an amazing experience. We did a tour with tierras vivas and had the best experience. We are more than happy with the tour we did in the sacred valley. The views are stanning and the local people are very welcoming and friendly. Our guide JD was knowledgeable and fun. He arrived on time and took care of us all day. We also visited the textile factory and saw how they create the colors and make blankets and clothes then we had an amazing lunch, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Had a great time on my way going to MachuPicchu via sacred valley all details taken by guide Daniel no single spot was left behind he showed us every single corner thank you TV and Dan

Our package included the Cusco city tour, a few archeological sites just outside Cusco, a drive down the sacred valley, including stops at Pisac and Ollantaytambo archaeological sites, and an overnight stay in Machu Picchu pueblo and tour of Machu Picchu. Tierras Vivas took care of all of the travel, including booking the flight to/from Lima, driving us down the Sacred Valley, and arranging train travel to/from Machu Picchu; they also arranged lodging in Cusco and Machu Picchu. I was worried about setting up domestic travel in a foreign country and language, and it was really nice that Tierras Vivas was able to set this up for us. Our guide, José, was excellent. He spoke excellent English and always got us where we needed to go without worry, which my companions who spoke no Spanish appreciated a ton. He knew the answer to any question we had, and we had a lot! Inka, Colonial, or modern history; geography, climate, culture, travel, architecture--I don't think we once stumped him, and I was very impressed. But more than that, he is a very fun guy! He was friendly and funny from the get-go. He was interested in where we lived, what we did, and shared with us stories from his own life. It honestly felt like having a tour with a great new friend who knew how to get around and everything else we would want to know. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

We did the 3 day Ausangate trek and a stop at Palccoyo mountain and what an amazing experience! The scenery was incredible but the porters, the chief, and of course our guide Elvis was what made the experience. Elvis was so knowledgeable about the area, the history, and helping us adjust to the altitude. He knew what we needed for our symptoms. We could’ve not asked for a better tour guide for our first time in Peru! I highly recommend Tierras Vivas! Definitely ask for Elvis too!

My wife and I decided to take a vacation with friends since i’m deploying to the middle east for a year. So why not visit one of the 7 wonders of the world. We blindly researched and went with a company. this was the best decision we made. Efraín Was a great tour guide. He took his time to explain culture to our group and friends. Was very patient and knowledgeable. I would recommend this to anyone! Overall a great experience!!!

Efrain is an excellent guide! He’s super knowledgeable and knows everything you need to know about the Incas.

Great tour! Efrain was very knowledgeable and awesome tour guide. Machu Picchu was a breath taking experience!
