Tour Program
Day 1: Cusco City Tour
The city of Cusco is one of the most important
destinations of Peru. It was the ancient capital of
the Inca empire, with its streets and buildings still
reflecting its grand historical past. Due to this, the
city is known as “the navel of the world”.
Today, our professional guide will accompany you
to discover the best of this Inca city. We will begin
by visiting the
Temple of the Sun (also called
Qoricancha). Then, we will finish by visiting the
ruins adjacent to the city;
Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, Puka Pukara, and
Tambomachay.
In the evening, spend at your leisure enjoying the
local cuisine, music, and the lights of Cusco at
night.
Overnight in Cusco.
Day 2: Cusco - Sacred Valley - Aguas Calientes
Our adventure continues onto the Sacred Valley of the
Incas, an enigmatic place whose fertile, beautiful
lands and gorgeous landscapes were intelligently taken
advantage of by the ancient Peruvian people. Our first
visit will be to Pisac, a greatly
important archaeological site whose shape and
construction are inspired by a local bird (the Puna
partridge). Straight away, we will visit the local
market, famous for its orginal products.
In the
afternoon, we will go on towards
Ollantaytambo, a place that clearly
shows how the Incas designed their cities with narrow
streets and lovely canals, all in harmony with its
natural environment. We will then visit the fortress
of Ollantaytambo with its spectacular Incan terraces
that will take our breath away, not to mention the
spectacular views of the Sacred Valley from them!
At the end of the afternoon, we will board the
train to our next stop, the town of Aguas Calientes.
Night in Aguas Calientes.
Day 3: Machu Picchu
This will be a memorable day during your visit in
Peru, given that you will see one of the Wonders of
the World that all travelers dream of visiting, we
mean the
historical sanctuary of Machu Picchu.
Early in the morning, our professional guide will pick
you up from your hotel to board the bus to the Machu
Picchu citadel all together (20 min trip). Once in
Machu Picchu, you will visit the farming and urban
zones, as well as its main temples. The tour will take
about an hour and a half, after which you will have
time to explore the ancient city on your own as well
as take additional photographs. In the afternoon, we
will return to Cusco on a comfortable train.
Night in Cusco.
