Welcome to Peru! Upon landing at Cusco airport, our local representative will welcome you and take our private transport towards the Sacred Valley Incas. Because of its lower elevation (2,870 m or 9,415 ft) and its peaceful atmosphere, the Sacred Valley is the perfect place to enjoy your first days in Cusco. On route, we’ll make a short stop at the Awanacancha museum to see the Peruvian Andes’ different camelids. If time allows, we might also stop at the traditional Pisac market.

Set off on tour to visit some of the Sacred Valley’s most impressive sites. First, reach Moray, a unique Inca site consisting of circular terraces built upon a natural depression. Next, visit Maras, an impressive salt-extraction complex composed of hundreds of small ponds from where locals have been collecting and selling the salt since before the Inca times. Finally, we’ll drive to a nearby countryside restaurant for a delicious meal. Enjoy the rest of the afternoon free to relax and appreciate the peaceful atmosphere of the Sacred Valley.

Start your day visiting Ollantaytambo, a charming village that has not changed much since Inca times. This town is famous due to the Ollantaytambo archaeological site, a place with impressive Inca stonework only seconded by Machu Picchu. Board our train to Aguas Calientes from Ollantaytambo station and take a 30-minutes bus up the steep zigzagging road to Machu Picchu Citadel. We’ll have a 3-hour guided excursion to have a better understanding of Machu Picchu and the Incas culture. Finally, return to Aguas Calientes to board your return train back to Ollantaytambo.

After a long but fun day in Machu Picchu, we can sleep in and simply relax. Later today, prepare yourself to go back to Cusco city, the old Inca Capital. Later, strap on our walking shoes as we prepare for a soft stroll around Cusco’s historic center. Our walking city tour will take us not only through the most touristic sites in Cusco, such as the Main Square, Cathedral, and Koricancha, also known as Temple of the Sun. You will walk along ancient streets, local markets, and old neighborhoods where you will discover the magic of Cusco. This hike is the perfect way to get a more authentic feel of this fantastic city and its people.

You will have some free time to take a last walk around Cusco’s shops and markets as you say goodby to this beautiful city. At the coordinated time, we’ll drive you to Cusco’s airport to board your flight to Lima and international connecting flights to your next destination.
