About us

Born in Cusco.
Built for Machu Picchu.

The real team,
doing the real
work.

Machu Picchu by Traveleez is a Cusco-based tour operator run by a small, dedicated team of local experts — guides, drivers, operations, and logistics staff who live and work here year-round.

Our founder, J. José Rodríguez, started publishing first-hand information about Cusco and Machu Picchu in 2014. What began as a resource for travelers became Traveleez — a fully licensed tour operator built on one principle: nobody knows this place better than the people who call it home.

We sell Machu Picchu tickets, guided tours, Inca Trail treks, and travel packages directly — no middlemen, no third-party platforms. When you book with us, you’re working with the team that actually runs your trip, from permit to summit.

 

Why it matters to you

Most booking platforms are brokers. We are not. Every question you ask reaches someone in Cusco. Every booking is handled by people who have walked the trail, navigated the ticket system, and know what changes from season to season. We’re small by design. That’s what makes us good at this.

The First Words

We started by publishing first-hand information. No fluff, just the truth about getting to the citadel.
