Wonderful Cusco and Machu Picchu Tour

Your adventure begins at the airport, where our team will give you a warm welcome and accompany you via private transportation to your hotel. You will have the entire morning at your complete disposal, a vital time to rest, drink coca tea, and allow your body to achieve proper acclimatization to the altitude of the Andes.

During the afternoon, we will begin the anticipated Cusco City Tour. We will pick you up from your accommodation to head first to the majestic Cusco Cathedral, an architectural jewel that showcases intense cultural syncretism within its imposing naves. A few steps away, we will discover the Qorikancha, the main religious center of the Inca Empire dedicated to the sun, upon whose perfectly polished foundations the Santo Domingo Convent stands today, highlighting the astonishing fusion of two eras.

Afterward, we will leave the historic center using your Cusco Tourist Ticket to explore the fascinating ruins guarding the city. You will marvel at the monumentality of Sacsayhuamán and its colossal stones assembled with mathematical precision; explore Q'enqo, an ancient ceremonial center carved into living rock for ritual purposes; discover Puka Pukara, the reddish fortress that served as a military checkpoint; and visit Tambomachay, the sacred water sanctuary where nobility rested. At dusk, we will drop you back off at your hotel to recharge your energy.

Very early in the morning, we will pick you up from your hotel to begin the transfer to the train station. There, you will embark on a fascinating panoramic train journey of approximately four hours, crossing the spectacular landscapes drawn by the Urubamba River Valley, preparing your senses and building anticipation for your encounter with the living history of the Andes.

Upon reaching the base, we will board the buses that wind up the mountain to the main entrance of the imposing Machu Picchu citadel. Our expert guide will accompany you on a fascinating two-hour tour, revealing the architectural secrets, astronomy, and mysticism of the site. Once the guided tour concludes, you will have free time at your disposal to explore the sectors at your own pace, take memorable photographs, and connect with the unique energy of this sanctuary.

At the agreed time, we will take the bus down to the charming town of Aguas Calientes. From there, you will board the Expedition return train bound for the imperial city of Cusco, where a representative from our company will be waiting for you promptly to ensure your safe and comfortable transfer back to your hotel door.

The day begins at dawn, picking you up from your hotel around 4:00 a.m. to set off on a tourist transport journey toward the south of Cusco. We will travel through picturesque Andean landscapes until arriving at the community of Accopata, where we will make a strategic stop at the Perú Andino Tourist Restaurant to enjoy a revitalizing buffet breakfast, recharging the essential energy needed to tackle our high-altitude challenge.

Next, we will continue by bus to the trailhead. We will embark on an uphill trek lasting approximately one and a half hours, walking surrounded by imposing puna landscapes and herds of llamas and alpacas in their natural habitat. All physical effort will be rewarded upon crowning the main viewpoint: right before your eyes, the vibrant Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) will unfold, crowned on the horizon by the majesty of the towering Mount Ausangate.

After capturing unforgettable photographs and soaking in the surrealism of this geological landmark (those interested may take an optional additional hike to the enigmatic Red Valley), we will begin our descent. We will return to the Perú Andino Tourist Restaurant, where a comforting buffet lunch will await us to replenish our energy after the expedition. Finally, we will board our transport to head back to Cusco, arriving in the city at dusk for a well-deserved rest after a truly epic day.

Your final day in the imperial capital begins with the nostalgia of a great adventure. Depending on your scheduled flight time, you will have the early hours at your complete disposal to do some last-minute souvenir shopping, stroll peacefully through the Plaza de Armas, or enjoy authentic Cusco coffee while bidding farewell to the city's cobblestone streets.

If your schedule permits, whether you have a few free hours or half a day before departing, we can arrange tailor-made additional experiences and short tours. This ensures you make the most of every last minute of your stay in Cusco in a safe and well-planned way.

At the pre-arranged time, our transport will pick you up from your hotel to provide a prompt private transfer to Cusco International Airport. There, we will assist you with everything necessary for your boarding, putting the finishing touch on this unforgettable experience and wishing you a safe journey back home.
