Cusco Tour Package (5 Days)

Our representative will welcome you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel in Cusco. We recommend taking a morning flight from Lima, as the city tour begins at 1:00 p.m.

We will begin the Cusco City Tour by visiting the Inca Temple of the Sun, Qorikancha, one of the most sacred sites of the Incas. The courtyard once housed numerous gold statues. Our guide will explain how Spanish rule modified the structures of the Inca temple.

Then we will take you in our private transportation to Sacsayhuamán, the impressive Inca fortress that rises on a hill overlooking the city of Cusco. Built by Pachacutec, it features enormous stones weighing more than 100 tons each, joined without mortar through precise stone cutting.

We will continue with a visit to the Q’enqo archaeological complex, an important site of the Inca civilization where scarification and mummification rituals were performed.

Afterwards, we will visit Tambomachay, a spa for the Inca political elite, with several channels connected to natural spring waters. Although the site was built centuries ago, the channels still function today.

We will finish the day at Puca Pucara, whose name in Quechua means “Red Fortress.” This site protected Cusco and was built with rocks that reflect a deep red tone at sunset.

After visiting Puca Pucara, we will drive you back to the city of Cusco so you can rest and prepare for the next day of the tour.

We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 7:00 a.m. and travel in private transportation to explore the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Chinchero

We will begin with a morning drive to Chinchero, a small village where the locals have preserved their textile traditions. Historically, it was home to the summer palace of Pachacutec. The archaeological site features agricultural terraces and Inca aqueducts, as well as a church built by the Spanish conquerors over the ruins of the Inca Royal Palace.

Maras

We will visit the Maras Salt Mines, geometric pools on the side of a hill fed by mineral-rich spring water. When the water evaporates, it leaves salt crystals, which locals harvest by hand following an ancestral tradition.

Moray

Our next stop will be Moray, where you will find circular agricultural terraces. Each level has a different temperature, with up to a 15-degree variation between the top and the bottom. The Incas used them as an agricultural laboratory to experiment with crop growth.

Urubamba

We will stop for lunch in Urubamba.

Ollantaytambo

We will continue to Ollantaytambo, a town that reflects Inca urban planning and is located between two archaeological sites. Our guide will provide a detailed tour.

Aguas Calientes

We will board the train to Aguas Calientes, enjoying a scenic journey where you will observe the change in landscape, from the snowy Andean peaks to the tropical forests. In Machu Picchu Pueblo, we will accommodate you in a hotel room with a private bathroom.

At sunrise, you will take a bus to Machu Picchu. Our local expert will provide a two-hour guided tour of the Inca citadel, visiting the ruins of the Inca royal quarters, temples, ceremonial sites, agricultural terraces, and more.

After the half-day tour, you will have free time to explore the citadel on your own. If you have tickets to climb Huayna Picchu Mountain or Machu Picchu Mountain, our guide will indicate the corresponding entrance. It is important to have a permit in advance, which often sells out six or seven months in advance.

As an alternative, you can hike to the Sun Gate, the entrance used by those who complete the Inca Trail. It offers a spectacular view of the citadel.

Afterwards, you will take the bus back to the town of Aguas Calientes, where you will have free time for lunch if you wish. Later, you will board the train back to the Ollantaytambo station.

Our representative will meet you at the train station and transfer you back to your hotel in Cusco.

We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 4:00 a.m. and transfer you to Cusipata, about two hours by car from Cusco. We will make a short stop for breakfast.

Hike Starting Point

We will continue to the base camp. Along the way, we will pass the checkpoint where community officials will collect the entrance fee. Our guide will provide a detailed explanation and tips for hiking. If you feel tired, you can rent a horse.

Ascent and Summit

The ascent offers captivating views of the Andes. Once at the summit, you will have free time to enjoy the scenery and take photos.

Return

We will begin the hike back to the starting point, where our driver will be waiting to take us to Cusipata. There we will stop for lunch before returning to Cusco.

Our representative will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco and transfer you to the airport.
