Overview

Cusco is the capital of Tahuantinsuyo, the country of the Incas, the center of the empire of the four regions and the "navel of the Inca world", one of the most notable empires in the history of humanity. In less than a hundred years, the Incas expanded from their northern borders in Quito, Ecuador, to their southernmost borders in Santiago, Chile, and into Argentina. The beautiful city of Cusco is one of the most beautiful in America.

Exploring Cusco is like traveling back in time. Its cobblestone streets, ancient temples and squares full of history transport visitors to the golden age of the Inca empire. In addition to its rich history, Cusco is a vibrant cultural center with markets full of local crafts, colorful festivals, and unique cuisine that combines traditional Andean flavors with modern influences.

It is not only a must-see destination for lovers of history and culture, but also for adventurers looking to explore the stunning natural landscapes that surround the city. From the majestic citadel of Machu Picchu to the Sacred Valley of the Incas, every corner of Cusco offers a new wonder to discover.

Come and immerse yourself in the magic of Cusco, where each street and each stone tells the story of an empire that left an indelible mark on the world.

Day 1 | Arrival in Cusco and City Tour.

Upon your scheduled arrival time, our staff in uniform will be awaiting you at Cusco airport or the bus terminal, holding a sign with your name. From there, we will provide comfortable tourist transport to your hotel, accommodating varying travel times based on your hotel's location.

After our tour, we return to Cusco. You can choose to either stay at the beautiful main square of Cusco or be transported back to your hotel.


DAY 2 | Tour of the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

At 8:30 a.m., we will pick you up from your hotel to start our tour of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Departing from the city, we will reach the Taray viewpoint, offering stunning views of Inca terraces and agricultural fields surrounding the sacred "Willcamayu" river of the Incas. Our next stop will be Pisaq, where we will explore the archaeological park and vibrant Indian market, renowned for its colorful local crafts and souvenirs.

Following some free time, we will continue to Urubamba village for a delicious buffet lunch, included in the tour.

Next on our journey is Ollantaytambo, often remembered for its mythical love story and historical significance as the last living Inca town. Legend tells of General Inka Ollanta's love for Princess Cusi Qoyllor, a tale of love prevailing against all odds.

After a 40-minute drive, we will arrive in Chincheros, surrounded by colonial houses and adorned with Incan terraces. Here, we'll explore the local temple and appreciate the artwork that later inspired the renowned "Escuela Cusqueña" painters. You'll also have the opportunity to visit the colonial church, celebrated for its art and jewelry.

At 7:00 p.m., we will return to Cusco and transfer you back to your hotel.

Overnight stay in Cusco.


DAY 3 | Machu Picchu Tour

Here's a paraphrased version:
6:30 a.m. Transportation from your hotel to the train station.

From Cusco, we will board the train to Aguas Calientes, arriving in the town around 10:30 a.m. Upon arrival, we'll immediately take a bus to Machu Picchu.

At 11:00 a.m., our guided tour of Machu Picchu's main Inca palaces and attractions will begin, lasting approximately 2 hours

After the tour, you'll have free time to explore this world wonder at your own pace. We recommend visiting the House of the Chosen, the Intiwatana (sundial), Kallancas (warrior sheds), baths, aqueducts, and the expansive terraced areas. You may also choose to hike Huayna Picchu, visit the Sun Gate and Inca Bridge, or simply enjoy the hot springs.

Later in the day, we'll return to Aguas Calientes to catch the train back to Ollantaytambo, followed by a tourist bus to Cusco. The train typically departs at 6:30 p.m.

At 10:30 p.m., we will arrive in Cusco and transfer you to your hotel.


Day 4 | Tour to Maras, Moray and the Maras Salt Mines.

At 9:00 AM, we will pick you up from your hotel to start our tour. During this excursion, we will first visit Maras, a charming colonial town known for its stunning Andean landscapes that resemble scenes from international postcards. Maras is renowned for its salt mines, which have been in operation since pre-Inca times and are still active today.

Next, we will explore the Moray terraces, recognized as an Inca agricultural experimental center where a wide variety of new food products were cultivated.

Additionally, our tour includes a visit to the community of Chinchero, where you can witness locals engaging in traditional Inca textile techniques using natural dyes—a practice deeply rooted in their daily lives to this day.

As we return to Cusco, you will have the opportunity to admire magnificent snow-capped peaks and vast agricultural fields, creating unforgettable moments and lasting memories.

We expect to arrive back in Cusco at approximately 3:00 PM.


DAY 5 | Transportation from your hotel to the airport or bus terminal.

At the designated time and according to your itinerary, we will arrange your transfer from the hotel to the airport or bus station, ensuring you receive assistance from our staff.
