Group services versus Private services?

This is a question we all need to ask ourselves when planning a trip. The answer depends largely on the age, the particular interests of each person and, above all, the economy of each passenger. Below, we list the differences between conducting a group service versus a private service. It should be noted that, in either of the two modalities, you will receive top quality care from the entire team of professionals who will make your trip unforgettable

Group Services

  • The driver follows the stops designated by the tour
  • Groups can have between 15 and 20 people
  • Guidance is simultaneous in English and Spanish for the entire group
  • The itinerary has to be strict to fulfill the daily plan
  • Guidance is available at the same time for the entire group
  • The main advantage of group services is the affordable price

Private Services

  • The driver will make the necessary stops where you indicate
  • Of 5 or more people, the private service has a similar price to the group service.
  • You own the time you want to have at each stop
  • Guidance is in only 1 language and at the passenger’s choice (prior consultation for rare languages)
  • The guide will be available only for you and attentive to your requirements
  • The travel experience becomes much more personal and deep in knowledge

The Inti Raymi (Quechua for “sun festival”) is celebrated in honor of the god Inti (“Sun”), the most important divinity during the Inca Empire.

It was said that the Inca Pachacutec created the Inti Raymi to celebrate the new year in the Andes and also to indicate the mythical origin of the Incas.

Reach the main plaza and listen the leather drums, pututus and flutes music and the first speech and oration of the Inca in the original Quechua language, honoring the Sun and mother nature Pachamama.

Here you will observe the colorful event with its rituals and offering of Chicha (corn beer) and the reenactment of the ancient ceremony of sacrificing a llama to the mother earth “Pachamama”.
