Tour Program
Day 1: Cusco - Sacred Valley - Aguas Calientes
Today you will explore the Sacred Valley of the Incas,
an enigmatic place whose 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 original 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, also
known as Machu Picchu town.
Night in Aguas Calientes.
Day 2: 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

you up from your hotel to board the bus to the Machu
Picchu citadel all together (20 min trip). Once in
