We want to make your trip to Peru as memorable and as carefree as possible. In this section, you’ll find the answers to all the questions you have about traveling with Tunqui Expeditions in one place. Please read the following information carefully – it will help you with any questions about our services.

Do you have another question that we haven’t answered here? Write us and we will get back to you as soon as possible!

Can I store my luggage at your office?

Of course! During the trip, your main luggage can be stored at our office (you can organize it with us on the briefing day or by email) or at your hotel, both free of charge.

Any equipment that you won’t need on the trek can be stored safely in your hotel. Nearly every hotel will provide this service. Don’t leave items of value with your bags; put them in the hotel safe and obtain an itemized receipt (in the unlikely case of theft, many insurance companies require that you have a copy of the receipt itemizing everything). It’s best to put items such as credit cards inside a sealed, signed envelope for extra peace of mind.

Pick up of guests

Please note: All pickups are within Cusco City, but we recommend booking a hotel in the historic center for its convenient location.
Our guide or staff will confirm the pickup time the day before the tour.
Due to traffic conditions, the pickup time may vary between 30 and 45 minutes.
Cusco is an old city and has many narrow cobbled streets. Some hotels and Airbnbs are located on streets without car access or on long, steep slopes, making it difficult to transport luggage. For such reasons, we strongly advise you to book accommodation with good access.

Return to Cusco

Return from Machu Picchu requires quite a bit of logistics, but don’t worry. Everynting is included in you tour!

From Machu Picchu, you’ll board a bus for 25 minutes to the town of Aguas Calientes. The buses are boarded according to arrival.
In Aguas Calientes, you’ll board a train to Ollantaytambo. Your guide will give you the train tickets with the boarding time. Make sure you’re on the platform 30 minutes early. The train from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo takes 1:45 hours.
Once you arrive at the station, our representative, identified with the Tunqui Expeditions clothing, will be waiting to transfer you to Cusco. The trip from Ollantaytambo to Cusco takes 1:30 hours.
In Cusco, we’ll drop you off directly at your hotel and, depending on your hotel’s location, as close as possible.

Group Tours

Group tours are made up of different types of people, then physical conditions and ages can vary. By agreeing to be part of a group tour, you also accept that some people may be faster or slower than you. Therefore, each person can go at their own pace on the route.

It may be the case that a group wishes to modify the tour; however, the guide will be the one who decides, after consulting with all the participants, if such modifications are possible.

Strikes and demonstrations

Strikes and demonstrations are common in Peru, and this may interrupt some of our tours. Roads can be blocked, and train tracks can be taken over. However, we will try to keep your trip as originally planned, even if it means leaving the night before the scheduled date.

Under these circumstances, tours may also be canceled. In case of changes or cancellations, everything will be coordinated with you by our operations department. Your safety is our highest priority, and our decisions will be made to protect it.

Lost objects

Please pay attention to where you leave your things and remember to take everything once you leave our transport, tents or restaurants. You’re the only one responsible for your objects during the tour.

       La mejor elección con Tunqui Expeditions
Hicimos Machu Picchu, Montaña de 7 Colores, Laguna Humantay y varios Excursiones. Nos decidimos por Tunqui Expeditions por las opiniones y por su compromiso con el medio ambiente y por su proyectos Sociales. Tunqui, comparando con los otros tour operadores que vimos en el Cusco Machu Picchu, es de las empresas es la mejor. Queremos hacer también mención especial a nuestros guías, Dani y Inti, nos llenos de amor, sabiduría y respeto por su entorno y por sus ancestros. Aunque ellos hayan hecho cientos de veces el MachuPicchu y Montaña de Colores o ha sido increíbles ver y sentir como ellos todavía se emocionan cada vez que lo hacen. Fue realmente enriquecedor descubrir el Machu Picchu de su mano. Cabe destacar además su increíble organización y respuesta en el momento que surgieron dificultades. Algunos de nuestros compañeros no pudieron completar el recorrido en Montaña de 7 Colores y ellos supieron perfectamente dar respuesta para que todo siguiera funcionando a la perfección. Obviamente la fama de Montaña de 7 Colores está más que justificada. Caminar entre paisajes de alta montaña, Nevados y Aire puro son imágenes y emociones que no vamos a olvidar en toda nuestra vida. Sin ningún lugar a dudas Tunqui Expeditions es el mejor tour operador que hubiéramos podido contratar. El premio es Machu Picchu pero el verdadero regalo es el Excelente Organización. Gracias Tunqui!

      Impresionante experiencia.
Una de las mejores experiencias vividas, el Machupicchu es algo mágico. La organización por parte de Tunqui muy buena, respetaron nuestra petición de hacer las explicaciones también en Español. Pero lo realmente bueno fueron los guías Dani y Silvio siempre con una sonrisa, risas y ganas, nos enseño todos los encantos de la zona. Joel divertido y con buen trato hizo de las caminatas de largas horas en Machupicchu un paseo. Ampliamente formados e intentando que aprovecháramos al máximo la experiencia. Gracias Equipo Tunqui!!

      Todo acuerdo al Plan
Todo salió perfecto. Nuestro tour fue Privado a Machu Picchu nuestro guía, Huber, super atento. Todo se dio como estaba planeado. Nos pasaron a buscar por el hotel con puntualidad. El tren que va de Ollantaytambo a Aguas calientes es muy lindo. Fuimos en el 360 y las vistas son hermosas. Puntual y con buen servicio. Nos tocó un guía que tenía mucha información para compartir y nos enseñó mucho durante el recorrido de Full Day. Recomiendo la empresa Tunqui!

      Mejor experiencia en peru
Gracias por ofrecer una de las mejores experiencias que he tenido en mi vida. Silvio es un Guía excelente. Muy cercano y profesional. Sabe perfectamente como gestionar el grupo y tiene un conocimiento muy avanzado sobre la cultura Inca y de la zona donde transcurre el recorrido. Inti, su ayudante, también es un gran profesional. Siempre está muy atento a las necesidades de los clientes. La comida es deliciosa. Es impresionante como Sebastian prepara sus platos con tan poca infraestructura. Incluso tuvo el detalle de preparar un pastel por mi cumpleaños. Finalmente, tuve la suerte de compartir la experiencia con un gran grupo. La conexión que tuvimos en tan poco tiempo fue mágica. Entramos como compañeros de viaje y salimos como una gran familia. Las excursiones son muy amenas. Cusco está lleno de paisajes y ruinas incas espectaculares. Muy recomendable!

      Experiencia inolvidable.
La verdad que una experiencia inolvidable. Me sorprendió la organización y cada detalle a lo largo del viaje. Desde el día 1 nos brindaron información a cada momento. Nos trataron d maravillas cuando veíamos que no llegábamos, nos motivaban para seguir. La comida fue siempre en puntos muy altos, la frescura, cantidad y variedad hicieron d este viaje un 10. Silvio y Uber, los dos guías, excelentes personas que nos indicaron todo a lo largo del viaje, organizando, previendo todo para que nos sintamos cómodos en el viaje. Sin duda volvería al elegirlos y al que esté en duda, hagan este viaje con Tunqui que no se van a arrepentir!
