Highlights
Itinerary
The city tour starts at 12:30 p.m. on your arrival day, so it is best to arrive in Cusco in the morning.
We'll meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel. At 12:30 p.m. the city tour begins: the Plaza Mayor, with its colonial buildings; the Qoricancha, a major expression of Inca architecture that today is the Santo Domingo Convent; and the Cathedral, in Renaissance and colonial style.
You finish at the four archaeological sites near Cusco: Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, Puca Pucara, and Tambomachay, and then return to your hotel.
Overnight: Cusco
After breakfast we pick you up at 7:30 a.m. for the tour of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. You visit the archaeological complex of Pisaq and its craft market, and continue along the Vilcanota River to Urubamba for a buffet lunch.
In the afternoon you tour Ollantaytambo, one of the last living Inca towns, whose streets keep the layout of the Inca era, and its archaeological complex. You spend the night in the Sacred Valley.
Overnight: Urubamba
After breakfast you go to the Ollantaytambo station and take the train to the town of Machu Picchu. There our staff helps you board the vehicle that climbs to the citadel, along a road with views of the Urubamba River canyon.
You take a guided visit of the terraces, staircases, ceremonial areas, and urban sectors of the citadel, then have lunch at a restaurant in the area. At the scheduled time you take the train to Ollantaytambo, and we transfer you to Cusco.
Overnight: Cusco
After breakfast, at the scheduled time, we take you to Cusco Airport for your return flight to Lima or your home country.
Machu Picchu tickets and Inca Trail permits are issued through the Peruvian government in each traveler’s name (full name and ID or passport number) and must be paid in advance. Once issued, they are non-refundable and non-transferable. See cancellation terms
