Why Heidi Travel Peru?
Heidi Travel Peru, is a fully locally owned tour operator in Cusco. We are certified local guides with an excellent knowledge of Incas history and culture. As natives, our guides will be sharing some of the astonishing facts on this action packed travel experience from Cusco.
We offer the trip to Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu, both as a small group tour and as a private tour. We invite you to take a moment to check out our reviews on Tripadvisor.
It is highly recommended to spend some time in Cusco and acclimate to the altitude to avoid altitude sickness. Hike to Huayna Picchu is definitely challenging, although if you are with a reasonable physical condition it won’t be difficult to hike.
