Upon your arrival, a representative from the Machu
Picchu Explorer travel agency will be awaiting you to
transfer you to your hotel.
Cusco, also known as the "bellybutton of the world" is
a charming place. You will be able to get to
experience its architectural beauty, its traditional
neighborhoods, the beautiful Plaza de Armas (its main
square), as well as its various gastronomical
delights. Cusco's main points of interests are the
Cathedral, the Temple of the Sun (known as the
Qoricancha), the San Blas district and San Pedro
market among many others. We recommend that you take
the first day to rest and become acclimated to the
altitude.
Night in Cusco.
Today we 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
Incans 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 (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 two
hours, 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.

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.
We can add the Huayna Picchu hike to your package as long as there's availibility. We recommend that you contact us at least 3 months before your arrival. To have more details, check our blog post regarding the Huayna Picchu Mountain hike.
