Reservation

Reservations can be made by email, mentioning name, passportnumber, nationality and date of birth.

Reservations have to be made on time, this to avoid that there is no availability.

Reservations can be done not only for the services we offer, but also for hotels and flights. As Cusco has a wide range of variety of hotels we would like you to mention what kind of hotel you are looking for (luxurious, mid-range or economic).
