Putucusi Mountain, peaking at 2,500 meters (8,202 feet), is a white-gray granite mountain that was created over 250 million years ago by volcanic uplift. Standing alone to the east of Machu Picchu, Putucusi Mountain forms part of the striking scenery of abrupt irregular slopes, cliffs and rugged terrain that makes this region of Peru so unique and so beautiful. Unlike the Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain treks, Putucusi trek is free to enter and is un-governed by park wardens. Putucusi Mountain is not located within the citadel of Machu Picchu, but actually on the other side of the Vilcanota River, quite a distance away. Only a handful of people climb Putucusi Mountain every day, making it a very unique and different experience.
This is the absolute BEST travel agency, I have used them three times already and will use them again soon. All the practical pieces are so seamless that travel is pure joy!!!

Peru travel solutions helped us plan an 8 day/9 night trip to Peru. Our trip was amazing and memorable. We chose a very active vacation which included white water rafting, hiking to Machu Picchu and Rainbow mountain in addition to various ruins. We had guides every day who were punctual in picking us up, knowledgeable about the sites and great to work with. Would definitely recommend this tour company. They made our trip easy and relaxing in terms of the details and logistics.

My friend and I have recently returned from an amazing sightseeing trip to Peru, where we travelled extensively on tours, organised by Tempo Tours. We received an excellent service with amazing attention to detail. Drivers and guides were extremely professional, knowledgeable, polite, prompt and couldn’t do enough to ensure we had a great experience. A big thank you to Ernesto who went out of his way to resolve any queries and give advice. Thank you all for giving us a trip to remember!

From beginning to end, our trip was super stress free. Our tour guide, Marden, was amazing and the fact he spoke English and knew so much about nature was nice because my hubby could do what he came to the jungle for, which was explore the wildlife!
