"Mela, let me start with the most important.  Dharshana, was impeccable. Totally professional and excellent. We would give him a 10 out of 10. With regards to the tour, it was also great and did in fact meet our expectations. We will surely recommend Charlie the traveller to our friends in Malta."

What travelers are saying

"I have travelled with ROW numerous times, including four trips on the Rogue River. Every trip has been wonderful and every person associated with ROW has been nice, knowledgeable, professional and fun. The Rogue is a great river and the trip is an excellent one for two people or a large group—and I have done both. I’ve taken both of my kids, one time each, and have organized groups of colleagues twice; most recently in 2019 when 14 of us gathered. The guides at ROW are great and help to make the trip very enjoyable. The scenery, lodging and the wonderful outdoors including warm air and refreshing water, make for a wonderful escape from the everyday routine. The fact that this trip offers beds and indoor plumbing is a nice benefit and allows those who have an aversion to camping a chance to see the wilderness. I have recommended ROW and the Rogue trip more times than I can count and my group has already reserved our trip for 2021. What are you waiting for?"

What travelers are saying

"This is my third trip with Southern Explorations and they have all been great. Communications and planning is always well managed. Kaitlyn was really knowledgeable and easy to work with for planning this last trip to Machu Picchu in March. Kaitlyn listened to us and planned the right experiences and accomodations for us. Our Sacred Valley/Machu Picchu guide - Jose Luis is one of the BEST guides we've ever had. His knowledge, passion and energy around everything Inca and Sacred Valley is amazing. He's also a super personable and thoughtful on the needs/interests of his clients. We really enjoyed our time spent with Jose Luis (and Robert our driver). We left Peru with our minds full of Inca history, impact and traditions."

Cusco Tour Selection Trips

  • Cusco is used most commonly to refer to the city of Cusco, but it is also the name of an entire region in Peru, which encompasses the Sacred Valley, and of course Machu Picchu
  • It is from Cusco that almost all tours to Machu Picchu depart. Whether by train or taking a shuttle to the start of your trek.
  • It is highly advised if you are planning on visiting Machu Picchu, to plan a few days in Cusco beforehand, both for acclimating to the altitude and for getting an introduction to the history of the Incan Empire.
  • Spanish is widely spoken in Peru. Though you will notice certain idiosyncrasies that make it differ from European Spanish, this is not enough to make communication impossible.
  • The weather in Cusco is at its coldest during June, July, and August, and the rainy season lasts from November to March. April and September are the sweet spots for perfect weather in Cusco!
