Itinerary

The tour begins with pickup from your hotel and then heads to the San Pedro Market (the oldest market in Cusco) to purchase ingredients and sample some dishes.

After purchasing everything you need, we’ll head to our restaurant with the chef where the Peruvian cooking class will begin. You’ll start by learning how to make Peru’s most popular drink, the pisco sour. Then, you’ll learn how to make the main course, lomo saltado. You also have other options, so you’re free to choose from. Finally, you’ll sample these dishes and be transferred to your hotel where our service concludes.

WHAT WILL YOU DO DURING THE COOKING CLASSES?

1) You’ll begin the cooking class by reviewing the recipe and making a shopping list.
2) You’ll taste some exotic seasonal fruits.
3) You’ll accompany the chef to the nearest local market to get the missing ingredient for the menu.
4) You’ll return to the kitchen to prepare your meal. You’ll prepare a drink (Pisco Sour), a starter (Ceviche), a main course (Lomo Saltado), and enjoy our local chocolate dessert. You’ll enjoy the food you prepared as if you were in a restaurant.
5) Finally, you’ll enjoy your meal as if you were in a restaurant.

A very personal experience

Our guide and driver could not have been more helpful. The bus was just for us but was modern, clean and tidy. The visits to the archaeological sites and the weavers were fascinating and breaks were timed around our needs. I can't recommend this outing too highly.

Sacred Valley, Machu Pichu, Rainbow Mountain

We spent 3 full days with Domingo combining the 2-day Sacred Valley/Machu Pichu tour with 1-day Rainbow Mountain, both originated in Cusco. The entire trip was awesome! Domingo provided everything we could as and more for our small group. He was punctual, helpful, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to travel with. His experience and local knowledge was evident as he (and our drivers) guided us across and through these cultural and geographic spectacles. Domingo provided insight we couldn't have achieved on our own, while giving us our space to explore and enjoy the surrounding at our own pace. Domingo also provided technical assistance if required, such as assisting us with train schedules. Domingo help make this trip a marvelous and memorable adventure..

An unforgettable tour

Excellent planning and accompaniment of the whole team. A lot of professionalism on the part of agents and guides. The only thing we didn't like was the little lunch option. While the buffet was optional, there were no other options either or told us in any previous village if we wanted to buy our lunch beforehand. We were practically forced to buy that lunch which by the way we found expensive.

Above and Beyond! The Best Way to See Peru

Our 14-day trip to Peru with Machu Picchu Valjes was absolutely seamless from start to finish. Traveling to a new continent with children where there is a language barrier can be daunting, but this team made us feel completely at home. From the moment we landed until the moment we departed, we had professional, prompt guides and drivers by our side.
