Itinerary

Day 1. Cusco – Sacred Valley – Aguas Calientes

Our Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour starts with a pickup from your Cusco lodging at 7:00 a.m. Then we’ll take you to Pisac in our private vehicle. We’ll start with a stroll through the flea market.

Pisac:

Locals put up a market in Pisac’s main square on weekends. You’ll be able to get some reasonably priced mementos here. We’ll then take you up the hill to see the Pisac archaeological site.

The complex is enormous, second only to Machu Picchu in size. Our local expert will take you on a detailed tour of the area, explaining the significance of each place. We’ll drive you to Urubamba once you’ve had your enough of Pisac.

Urubamba:

Urubamba is the lowest point in terms of altitude and is sometimes referred to as the heart of the Sacred Valley due to its central placement. We’ll have a buffet lunch at a local restaurant while we’re here.

Ollantaytambo:

We will drive you to Ollantaytambo after you have enjoyed a traditional Peruvian lunch. Since the Incan civilization, this lovely settlement has been significant. This used to be their administrative capital.

Ollantaytambo’s narrow cobblestone streets are a monument to the Incas’ architectural and urban planning progress. Two Inca ruins can also be found at Ollantaytambo.

We will drive you to the railway station in Ollantaytambo after your visit of Pisac and Ollantaytambo. You will take the train to Aguas Calientes from here. The voyage on the adventure train provides breathtaking views of highland Andean crops and settlements, as well as the Urubamba River, which runs through them.

We will meet you at Aguas Calientes and transport you to your hotel. You’ll have some free time in the evening to take a stroll through this charming town. Aguas Calientes is also known for its hot springs, so you can spend your evening relaxing in one.

Our local guide will meet you at your hotel that evening to inform you on the following day’s adventure.

Day 2. Aguas Calientes – Machu Picchu – Cusco

The hotel staff will deliver a snack box to you first thing in the morning. After that, you’ll take a bus from Aguas Calientes to the Machu Picchu citadel’s entrance. It takes about 25 minutes to get there. Our tour guide will help you clear security and get access to the citadel.

Once inside, you’ll be rewarded with a view of the sun’s golden rays gleaming on the Incan citadel’s walls. For two hours, our guide will give you a full tour of the fortress. On this tour, you will see some of the citadel’s most important sites, which will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the fortress.

You will have some free time after the tour to explore the citadel on your own. If you have made a reservation to climb Machu Picchu or Huayna Picchu, our guide will direct you to the entrance. If you want to walk one of these mountains, please let us know when you make your reservation.

You can also take a trek to the sun gate. It provides a breathtaking perspective of the citadel. For those on the Inca Trail, Sungate is the point of entry to the fortress.
