About Us

We are a local adventure-travel operator in Cusco, made up of guides, cooks and porters from Andean communities.

American Trekking Cusco was born from a group of Cusco guides’ passion for sharing the mountains where we grew up. Today we run treks on the Inca Trail, Ausangate, Salkantay and Rainbow Mountain, as well as cultural tours of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.

Our commitment

  • Licensed official tour guides trained in first aid.
  • Porters with fair pay, insurance, meals and proper gear.
  • Small groups to protect the experience and the environment.
  • Zero single-use plastics and responsible waste management.
  • Direct purchases from community producers.

A formal, licensed agency

We operate as AMERICAN TREKKING CUSCO E.I.R.L., tax ID (RUC) 20000000000, registered with the regional tourism authority of Cusco and licensed to operate the Inca Trail.
