Hello everyone! I am José Luis founder of Free Walking Tour Cusco. I was born in this city and I have been a hiking guide in Machu Pichu for many years, in fact I have visited it more than 400 times. As a result, I decided to create my own Free Tours company in 2016 so that travelers can discover the true history of the ancient city of Cusco. With me you will discover a very authentic and local explanation about the capital of the Inca society. We currently form a team of 3 guides willing to make you discover this wonderful city and discover the most important things about Cusco.
