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 belly button 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). After, we will visit the treasures of the
Basilica Cathedral of Cusco, and then 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.
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.
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.

In the Andes, temperature changes too much between night and day. During the rainy season (November-March) we have cloudy days with rain at night. On the other hand, during the dry season (May-September) you can expect very cold nights and warm sunny days.
If coming to Peru, make sure to bring proper clothing. We suggest sunglasses, a sun hat, a polar, gloves, and comfortable shoes for walking. If coming during the rainy season, a raincoat is highly recommended.
We suggest booking your trip from April to September, since sunny and warm days are common during this period. On the other hand, if coming during the rainy season, you'll likely have less crowds than in the peak season.
