Quelccaya no es tu típica excursión de un día desde Cusco. Esta caminata de día completo te lleva al casquete glaciar tropical más grande del mundo: alrededor de 42 kilómetros cuadrados de historia congelada en la Cordillera de Vilcanota. Cruzarás lagunas turquesas, verás vicuñas en libertad y estarás cara a cara con formaciones de hielo que alcanzan entre 5,200 y 5,600 metros sobre el nivel del mar.

«Machu Picchu Peru Travel» se encarga de la logística: transporte cómodo desde Cusco, guías locales que hablan español, inglés y quechua, desayuno y almuerzo preparados con ingredientes de comunidades cercanas. Y honestamente, el enfoque sostenible aquí importa: este tour respeta a la Pachamama mientras apoya a las comunidades locales de Phinaya.

Te recogemos a las 3:00 AM. El viaje a Phinaya (4,700 m.s.n.m.) toma alrededor de 5 horas a través del altiplano: silencioso, inmenso y algo abrumador bajo la luz del amanecer.

Una vez allí, caminarás unos 20 minutos por senderos moderados hasta un mirador del glaciar, rodeado de esas lagunas turquesas, vicuñas salvajes y picos nevados que parecen extenderse infinitamente.

Nuestros guías locales comparten historias sobre el Apu Quelccaya, sagrado para las comunidades andinas desde hace siglos. Esta caminata funciona para familias, principiantes, cualquiera que quiera naturaleza sin escalada técnica. Incluimos transporte, un desayuno andino en Pitumarca y un almuerzo casero en Phinaya. Estarás de vuelta en Cusco entre las 7:30 PM y 8:00 PM.

Itinerario

DIA 1

Tour Flaciar Quelccaya 1 Dia

3:00 AM – Salida

Empezamos temprano. Muy temprano. El viaje de 5 horas atraviesa las tierras altas andinas, silenciosas y frías, hacia el remoto pueblo de Phinaya.

Cuando llegamos, recibes un desayuno andino—algo caliente para ayudarte a ajustarte a la altitud. Luego continuamos en vehículo por aproximadamente una hora, acercándonos a Quelccaya, reconocido como el glaciar tropical más grande del planeta.

Desde donde termina el camino, es una caminata de 20 minutos hasta el glaciar. En el trayecto verás lagunas cristalinas, pequeños arroyos, vicuñas haciendo lo suyo, y las imponentes montañas de la cordillera de Vilcanota.

De regreso en Phinaya, el almuerzo está listo—platos locales preparados con ingredientes de la zona. Después de eso, abordamos el vehículo nuevamente para el retorno a Cusco, con una parada en la Laguna Sibinacocha, una de las más grandes e impactantes del altiplano.

Llegamos de vuelta a Cusco alrededor de las 7:30 PM.

I can’t recommend this agency highly enough! They made our vacation in Peru an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, they stood out for their attentiveness, punctuality, excellent organization, and incredible coordination throughout the entire trip.I would especially like to mention our guide, Will, in Cusco. His professionalism, knowledge, and passion for history made every visit even more fascinating. We were amazed by all the interesting facts he shared about Inca culture, traditions, and the different archaeological sites. Having a guide like him made our experience much more enriching and allowed us to appreciate each place in a completely different way.I would also like to give a special thank you to Tania, Celestino, Jesus, Yusof, and Don Neri in Lima for their kindness, attention, and for making us feel so well taken care of throughout our trip.We traveled from Costa Rica, and we are taking home wonderful memories of Peru. Thank you to the entire team for making sure everything was so well organized and for treating us with such warmth and care.Without a doubt, an excellent agency for exploring Peru. We highly recommend them!Warm regards, Yuliana, from Costa Rica 🇨🇷❤️🇵🇪

Excellent experience
We had an outstanding experience with Taina at Machu Picchu. He was extremely professional, passionate and knowledgeable about Inca history, culture and the site itself. she adjusted the pace perfectly for our group, answered all our questions patiently, and made the whole tour fascinating and memorable. We couldn’t ask for a better guide and highly recommend him to everyone traveling to Machu Picchu.

Wow, what great service! I’ve been on many tours and few have had the clarity and communication skills that Tania and her team had. From the moment I reached out in interest to the end of the Machu Picchu excursion, Tania was exceptionally clear and helpful, making every step very easy to follow. Planning Machu Picchu on your own is *technically* possible, but it takes a tremendous amount of work to plan with a lot of unknown variables. Booking a tour with Machu Picchu Peru Travel makes it easy for not much more cost, and eases the anxiety of all the unknowns with the complex journey. It is truly a great value for travelers.Now if only I could have Tania organize the rest of life…! :)

Machu Picchu Peru Travel – Super Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu 2D/1N TourI highly recommend booking with Machu Picchu Peru Travel for any of their tours. We did the Super Sacred Valley with Machu Picchu 2D/1N, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish.From the very beginning, their level of communication was top tier. Tania was fantastic, clear, quick, and informative even before we booked. She was patient, guided us through the process, and ensured we got the exact circuit we wanted 2B, making everything completely stress-free and well organised. When we arrived in Cusco, she personally met us at our hotel for a detailed briefing, which showed how much she genuinely cared about our experience and ensuring everything went smoothly.Pickup was always on time, and every effort was made to keep the tour running seamlessly. The Sacred Valley tour itself was very enjoyable, with a fluent English-speaking guide who made everything easy to understand and engaging. Later that evening, we boarded the train to Aguas Calientes, where we were met and guided to our hotel.That evening, our guide Ruth visited us for a briefing, she was humble, warm, and very professional. The next day, she accompanied us from the hotel to the bus and then up to Machu Picchu. Being a private tour made the experience feel very personal and insightful. Ruth shared a wealth of knowledge, took her time explaining everything, and even helped us capture some amazing photos.Overall, this tour was 100% worth it-excellent organisation, outstanding guides, and a truly stress-free way to experience Machu Picchu.

We recently completed the 2-Day Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco with Machu Picchu Peru Travel, and it was one of the best-organized and most enjoyable tours we have ever experienced in Peru. From the very first contact to the final goodbye at our hotel, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for our experience. Communication was exceptional right from the start. The team was incredibly responsive on WhatsApp, answering all our questions promptly and patiently, even when we had last-minute requests and changes. Their quick replies gave us complete peace of mind as we planned our trip to Peru. The day before our tour, we received a detailed briefing (via WhatsApp and in person) that clearly explained the entire itinerary, what to expect, what to bring, and all the important timings. It was thorough and reassuring, which helped us feel fully prepared and relaxed. What impressed us most was how flexible and accommodating the team was. We had booked different panoramic train rides and specific circuits for Machu Picchu, and they seamlessly adjusted everything to match our preferences without any hassle. Their ability to handle these details smoothly showed just how experienced and client-focused they are. Our English-speaking tour guides were simply fantastic! They were not only extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and significance of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, but they were also genuinely friendly, patient, and enthusiastic. They went above and beyond by acting as personal photographers for our group—taking beautiful photos from all the best angles and even suggesting creative shots we would never have thought of. Thanks to them, we now have stunning memories captured perfectly. The entire tour ran like clockwork. The transportation was comfortable and safe, the pacing was ideal (never rushed, but never boring), and the contingency plans they had in place for weather, altitude, or any unexpected situations made us feel truly well taken care of. Everything was thought through so we could simply relax and enjoy the magic of the Sacred Valley and the wonder of Machu Picchu. If you’re planning a trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu, I cannot recommend Machu Picchu Peru Travel highly enough. Their attention to detail, excellent communication, flexible approach, and warm, professional guides made our 2-day Sacred Valley tour an unforgettable highlight of our Peru adventure. Thank you to the entire team—you made our dream trip even more special! We will definitely be booking with you again on our next visit to Peru. Highly recommended – 10/10!
