If you have some extra time in Cusco definitely visit! It's about a three and a half hour drive from Cusco so I recommend getting there by 7:00 am or 7:30 am to beat the crowds. It's about $20 if you want to rent a horse versus walking the trail to the base of the mountain. They're simply beautiful! Don't pass it up!
DO NOT USE CONDE TRAVEL. Pick up was earlier than scheduled and we were getting calls asking us to come down from the hotel fast. This is not acceptable when you get a scheduled from Conde Travel saying that your pick up time is from 4:20am to 4:45am and you start getting calls at 4am. There were no coordination to pick up riders and was all over the place. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. Her name is Vicky. Very nice person. The experience at the Site was awesome. On our way back we were delayed one hour due to riders not been on time. The bus did not have air conditioner and imagine riding for 3 hours with 10 other people without air conditioner. This is unnaceptable. The driver never explained what was going on with the air conditioner even when we asked several times. In general, I will not use Conde Travel.
Excellent Service!!!! I always felt so comfortable, all very punctual and very attentive to the details, I just dedicated myself to enjoy, they take care of everything. Also very careful about covid during transfers. It was a unique and unforgettable experience. Without a doubt it is highly recommended 👌

Super nice hostel, tour for the machu picchu and the mountains with 7 very pro colors! I recommend this agency which is very nice and organize
I used Conde Travel services to book all my tours in Cusco, my friend and I did the Rainbow mountain, Machu Picchu, Huayna Picchu, and Humantay lake. They were beyond amazing, they were always willing to help and were constantly checking on us to see if we needed anything. I will definitely use them again.
