Our Story
We are Hugo and Percy, Local Guides and Travel Planners (we call ourselves local friends) We both have 10+ years of guiding experience in the Machupicchu, Cusco, the Sacred Valley areas. We both are native to the Sacred Valley; born and raised in this beautiful land and obviously, we both share the passion for our history, the culture and show them to visitors.
We started “Cusco Local Friend” as a result of a simple observation of the many frustrated travelers, being taken on big tour busses, being herded on fixed itineraries with little time at the sites; and willing to explore more, have more time at the visited sites, however, it was not possible due to strict itineraries of the tour companies.
So we thought: “what travelers need is more personal, flexible and customer-oriented tours led by friendly real local Guides” so that, we created “Cusco Local Friend” – the first Tour Guide company made of a team of Local Tour Guides who know the ins and outs of the tourism industry in the region.
