Travel Guide

Faq’s About 5 Days Peru Archaeology Tours

Machu Picchu Archaeological Tours 5 Days – With our tour, we will discover the archaeological wonders of Machu Picchu in just five days! Marvel at its architectural prowess and uncover centuries-old secrets.

Peru was home to several ancient civilizations, including the Inca, Moche, Nazca, Chimu, and Chavin.

The Inca, for example, built an extensive network of roads and bridges throughout their empire, while the Moche were known for their advanced metallurgy techniques.

Peru has several famous archaeological sites, including Machu Picchu, the Nazca Lines, and the Chan Chan complex.

The capital of the Inca Empire was Cusco, which was considered the center of the world by the Inca people.

The Inca believed in a pantheon of gods, including the sun god Inti, while the Moche worshipped various deities associated with nature and fertility.

Machu Picchu was an important religious and political center for the Inca people and is considered one of the most impressive archaeological sites in the world.

The Nazca Lines are a series of geoglyphs etched into the desert floor and are believed to have had religious and astronomical significance for the Nazca people.

The Chavin de Huantar complex was an important religious and cultural center for the Chavin people and is considered one of Peru’s earliest and most sophisticated civilizations.

These ancient civilizations were skilled at stonemasonry and engineering and could construct impressive buildings and monuments using simple tools and manual labor.

The Moche were known for their highly detailed pottery and metalwork, while the Nazca were known for their intricate textiles and ceramics.

The decline of these ancient civilizations is often attributed to a combination of factors, including natural disasters, climate change, and conflict with neighboring tribes.

These ancient civilizations have impacted Peruvian culture, from the Quechua language spoken by the Inca people to the continued practice of traditional weaving techniques.

Lesser-known ancient civilizations in Peru include the Wari, Sican, and Paracas cultures.

The Inca road system was an impressive feat of engineering and construction and helped to connect the far-flung corners of the Inca Empire.

There are many museums and archaeological sites throughout Peru where you can learn more about these ancient civilizations, as well as books and documentaries available online.

Alittle bit of everything We had a last minute change of plans when it came to our tour. We were supposed to visit the rainbow mountain but with the recent protesting we called to see if we could change last minute and they were very accommodating. Odon and Fernando were amazing! They took us to see multiple attractions and made us feel very at home. And kudos to Renee for the amazing driving. I would highly recommend using this company for a tour. We will definitely use them if we ever come back!

Family vacation Kondor path tours arranged a couple of private tours on our last vacation in Peru. Our first tour was the Rainbow Mountains and the next day we did the sacred Valley Tour.The administrative services were excellent, we met at our hotel the day before our tours and our head guide, Fredy, explained everything perfectly, including what to wear and bring for each tour. On the tour days, our guides (Fredy and Juan Carlos) and driver (Juan Carlos) were great! very knowledgeable, considerate about our party, always helpful and ready to answer questions and meet the expectations (completely different expectations because we had different ages in our party (from 11 to 69 years)) of each party member.The rainbow mountain is awesome and is is really helpful to go with a guide that knows about the area, but also about hiking!!!

Excellent guide who stays with you for the entire day The Vinicunca one-day horse tour was fantastic. The friendly and informative Freddy guided us for the entire bus ride and mountain trek. He knew where to stand to get the best photos and made everything fun and accommodating. The horse ride up made it much easier to enjoy the final hike. Lunch was large and tasty. Door to door service.

Awesome Service and Tours Fernando and Patricia were SUPER responsive - usually responded to emails within 10 minutes!!. The arrangements they made for Cusco, Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, and surrounding areas were awesome.They were waiting for us at the airport and did everything we asked them. Our guide for the four days was Herberth and driver was Juan Carlos. Both were SUPER SUPER great. Juan Carlos was such an amazingly pleasant driver with cute stories. He also was a very safe driver. Herberth was very knowledgable and helpful. Took us all over the places with details about the history and details. We had friends who were not able to climb much and they accommodated us all.On the day we had planned to do rainbow mountain we did not feel great and emailed Fernando at 5am and he responded within 5 minutes with other options for us to do that day. Overall, if you are going to Peru and want to visit the historic sites, you SHOULD go with these people. They are SUPERB!!

Rainbow Trek and Horseback Riding A group of 7 of us did a One Day Rainbow Trek and Horseback Riding. Freddy was our guide and he was prompt and with us every moment of the journey. They were so accommodating to move the debrief meeting the night before because we had a food tour that evening. Freddy had so much energy, knowledge, and excitement to share with us about his native homeland. In addition, he made sure that we were well taken care of when one of us was actually sick from the altitude. It was such an amazing experience and Freddy made sure we got the best of it. Thank you! Highly recommend Kondor Path Tours.

MachuPicchu and Rainbow Moutain We worked with Kondor Path for two tours, of Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain. Everything they did was well organized, well documented, well communicated. The two guides and the driver were great, very friendly and knowledgeable. All were bilingual (English and Spanish). At Rainbow Mountain we rode horses to the base of the really steep part of the mountain (this saved some 7 km of hiking). But that last part was quite difficult! I'm glad I had prepared and gotten conditioned.
