Full Itinerary

Welcome to Inca leaving culture city and get ready to live the best experience of your trip!
We’ll be at the airport ready to take you back to your hotel. Unpack, relax, settle-in and get ready for the fun to start tomorrow.

Time to get out and see what all the hype is about! Your guide will come to pick you up after breakfast for a wander through the ‘Centro Histrico’ district. You’ll learn about the city’s fascinating history from the Incas to Spanish colonization, through to modern day and get an inside perspective on what life’s like for the locals.

After lunch, we will head up the mountain to see the 4 Inca sites that once protected the city and now offer incredible views of Cusco and the surrounding valley. After your tour, we will return you to the hotel and dinner will be on your own.

Today is all about getting outdoors, getting active, meeting locals and reconnecting with nature! We’ll head to the North of Cusco and do a few short walks while we explore the hotspots of the Sacred Valley – Maras Salt Mines and Moray.
In the afternoon we’ll have lunch at the local community, interact with them and learn about their ancestral traditions. If you love to put your fingers to work, you can participate in the natural Wool-dyeing workshop and get some souvenirs for your trip and gifts for your friends before we continue on to Ollantaytambo where we’ll have dinner and check into the hotel.
PLEASE NOTE: There are luggage restrictions for this portion of the trip so you will need to leave your large luggage in a secured storage room free of charge at your hotel in Cusco. You will only be able to take a small backpack or overnight bag with you for the next 2 nights.

After breakfast at your hotel, we will take the train for 1.5 hours to the town of Aguas Calientes.
A short shuttle ride will take you to the entrance of Machu Picchu where you will have a two-hour guided tour of the most important sites in the city.
At the designated time, you will take the shuttle back to Aguas Calientes where you will have lunch before the train ride back to Ollantaytambo where you will spend a second night.

We will pick you up from your hotel early to take you to the other side of the Sacred Valley. We’ll start with a tour of the Ollantaytambo ruins before continuing on through the Urubamba River valley.
We’ll stop all along the way for lunch and to visit other Inca sites like Pisaq before returning to Cusco.

We’ll have an early pick-up time this morning so you can get to one of the most unique landscapes in the Cusco region ahead of the crowds.

A 3-hour scenic car ride will take you to today’s destination, Palcoyo, where you will have the chance to see multiple rainbow mountains for 2 hours at an easy walking pace.

After the tour, we will have lunch before returning to Cusco in the late afternoon.

Depending on your flight schedule, we will drop you off at the Cusco Airport 2.5 hours before your departure time.
