An awesome day in a very unique, untouched part of Peru. Carlos was excellent. Had a once in a lifetime experience. Hope to return and stay overnight under the stars! Highly recommend!

Get ready for an incredibly beautiful and beathe-taking adventure. First stop: a simple and delicious breakfast in a small village, and then a drive up to Maucachina. Next: a quickstop at San Pedro de Casta. And then: hiking to the top of the mountain, with incredible views at every turn. The big pay-off: an awe-inspiring view across the mountains from a precarious boulder. Then: hike down to pre-Inca ruins. And finally: drive back down to Lima. It was a spectacular day, but it was an extremely arduous and tiring day. The ride up and down the mountain is on a bumpy one lane grovel road, three hours each way. The elevation tops at 13000'. Breathing can be difficult. If you are fit, the journey is absolutely worth it. Our guide, Abrahim, and driver, Eddie, were fabulous and very professional. Hats off to both. An incredible adventure.

I booked this trip as a solo female traveler. Ending up finding and messaging the trip operator Carlos on WhatsApp +51945273204 with questions. Ended up with two other people also on the tour with me. Carlo was super helpful and communicative. You leave around 5am and then take an entirely enjoyable 2.5-3 hour car ride into the mountains to marcahuasi in a very comfortable Land Cruiser. You’ll pass through countryside towns, grab breakfast at a nice little tienda that serves big slices of local avocados (which I can attest are some of the best avocados I’ve ever had) with egg or cheese on a sandwich. Option to get some homemade quinoa drink. Half of the journey is on dirt road, Carlos is an excellent driver and I never felt nervous. He provides fruits as a snack like orange, guanaba and banana for half way through the hike. You’ll be at something like 4,000m (13,000 feet) at the highest point but DO NOT be worried about elevation sickness. I got out of the car and immediately felt out of breath but Carlos assured me that its normal for the first 20 minutes and then the body acclimates, which mine did. He also said that not one person has ever had an elevation sickness problem on one of his tours to Marcahuasi, so travel on with confidence. He provides trekking poles. You go on an absolutely spectacular 3 hour hike. The energy at this location is very special, and if you are looking for what could be a spiritual experience on top of a hike through ancient grounds, this is it! all I can say is this location in Peru is not to be missed, I was so impressed that I wrote this whole long thing hoping you too will go. We returned back around 330-4pm
