Our Package
Day 1: Arrival in Cusco – Walking City Tour
Pick-up from the airport and transfer to the hotel. In the afternoon, we will start the city tour in a different way. Exploring Cusco on foot is an ideal way to immerse yourself in the history, culture, and charm of this ancient city, allowing you to discover architectural and historical gems surrounding the heart of the former Inca Empire.
We’ll begin the tour by visiting the Sapantiana Colonial Aqueduct, then capture the classic photo at the picturesque Seven Little Lambs Street. We’ll continue to the traditional San Blas neighborhood, home to talented artisans and famous for its cobbled streets full of magic and color.
On the way, we’ll stop to admire the emblematic Stone of the Twelve Angles, a symbol of Inca architectural perfection. We’ll then reach the imposing Main Square of Cusco, recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. The tour continues through Espinar Square, Marqués Street, and ends at the traditional San Pedro Market, where you’ll get a close look at local customs, authentic flavors, and the daily life of the Cusco people.
Overnight stay in Cusco hotel.
Day 2: Biking Nearby Ruins
The day begins at 9:00 a.m. from your hotel. We’ll start a biking tour designed for family and friends adventures, exploring unique places in Cusco — and best of all, no cars.
We’ll observe various landscapes while descending slowly and safely along a path used by local farmers.
Overnight in Cusco.
Day 3: Sacred Valley – Aguas Calientes
The day begins at 8:00 a.m. From the hotel, we’ll take a short trip to the majestic Sacred Valley, the last stronghold of the Incas. This fertile land houses ancient citadels and temples that will captivate you.
Our first stop will be Chinchero, a picturesque Andean village famous for its textile tradition. We’ll continue to Moray, an enigmatic archaeological complex of circular terraces shaped like an amphitheater, used by the Incas as an agricultural lab. Then we’ll visit Maras, home to impressive salt mines. More than 5,000 salt ponds, exploited since Inca times, form a unique and amazing landscape.
Afterward, we’ll head to Urubamba to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch. After lunch, we’ll continue to Ollantaytambo, known as the “Living Inca City” for its cobbled streets and still-inhabited ancestral structures.
Finally, we’ll board the train to Aguas Calientes, where we’ll spend the night in a cozy hotel.
Overnight in Aguas Calientes hotel.
Day 4: Machu Picchu – Cusco
Machu Picchu, the “Lost City of the Incas”, is a majestic 15th-century archaeological site, celebrated for its breathtaking architecture, advanced engineering, and urban design, harmoniously integrated with the surrounding mountain landscape.
After breakfast, we’ll begin the bus ascent to the Machu Picchu citadel. Guided at all times by a professional guide, we’ll explore this enigmatic wonder and its main attractions.
After the visit, we’ll return to Aguas Calientes to take the train back to Ollantaytambo, and from there, continue by vehicle to Cusco.
Overnight stay in Cusco hotel.
Day 5: Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) – Trekking
This day is dedicated to the stunning Rainbow Mountain, also known as Vinicunca. Very early in the morning (4:30 – 5:00 a.m.), we’ll depart from your hotel toward the town of Cusipata, where we’ll enjoy a comforting breakfast. We’ll then continue to the community of Chillihuani, located at approximately 4,500 masl, the starting point of the hike.
The ascent will be gradual, and along the way, you’ll see a stunning variety of Andean landscapes and local wildlife such as alpacas, llamas, high Andean birds, as well as lagoons, valleys, streams, and snow-capped mountains.
We’ll finally reach the Rainbow Mountain, a truly unique place where nature has painted a multicolored landscape that seems like a dream.
After the visit, we’ll begin the return trip to Cusco.
Transfer to the airport according to your flight itinerary.
