After your arrival at Cusco Airport, you will be warmly welcomed and transferred to your hotel. To help you acclimatize to the high altitude, you will be served an aromatic coca tea upon arrival.

The morning is free for you to rest, and we recommend enjoying a light lunch at your hotel or one of the nearby restaurants.

In the afternoon, we will embark on a city tour that includes visits to the Main Square, Cathedral, Koricancha (Temple of the Sun), and archaeological sites such as Sacsayhuaman Fortress, Q’enko, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay (entrance fees to archaeological centers and museums are included).

The tour will conclude at the Main Square around 6:30 pm, giving you the opportunity to have dinner at one of the excellent restaurants in the area before an overnight stay at the hotel. Meals are not included.

After breakfast, you will be picked up at 8:15 am for a full-day excursion to the Urubamba Valley. The tour includes a visit to the colorful Indian market in Pisac, where you can experience a mix of color and tradition.

You will have some free time to interact with the local craftsmen and purchase their hand-made souvenirs. The Valley is located at a distance of 31 km (19 miles) from Cusco, with an altitude of 2,970 ms (9,700 p).

Pisac is situated at the entrance of the Sacred Valley and is followed by Ollantaytambo, one of the oldest towns continuously occupied in the American continent.

The narrow streets of Ollantaytambo, along with their channels that have not varied since the time of the Incas, evoke their ancestral heritage.

You will have lunch at a typical restaurant, and after exploring Ollantaytambo, you will take the train from the Ollantaytambo train station, which takes 2 hours to reach Aguas Calientes, where you will spend the night. (B, L)

After an early breakfast, we’ll catch the first bus at 5:30 am to arrive at Machu Picchu by 6:00 am. We’ll obtain our entrance fee to climb Huayna Picchu Mountain (only a 25-minute bus ride away) and enjoy a 2-hour guided tour.

You’ll have free time to explore and climb Huayna Picchu Mountain.

After you’ve experienced the wonders of Machu Picchu, we’ll head back down to the town of Aguas Calientes to catch a train back to Ollantaytambo. From there, we’ll take a bus back to Cusco and transfer you to your accommodation. (B, L included)

We will pick you up bright and early from your Cusco hotel and begin our journey to the South Valley. After a three-hour drive, we will arrive at Quesiuno (4,326 m / 14,189 ft), the trailhead. Before we start our hike, we will have a delicious continental breakfast to fuel up.

As we begin the hike, we will be greeted by numerous alpacas and llamas, and breathtaking views of the Ausangate Mountain. Our trail will take us through charming villages, where we will have the opportunity to interact with the friendly locals. Along the way, we will stop for a deluxe box lunch to keep our energy up.

Continuing on, we will encounter more unique features of the trek, such as potato fields, exotic fauna, and the chance to spot chinchillas and vicunas, the only non-domesticated animal of the llama family in Peru. The stunning red mountains will also be a highlight of this part of the hike.

After hiking for approximately 5 hours, we will finally reach our destination: the Rainbow Mountains (5,020 m / 16,466 ft). As you take in the breathtaking scenery, you will have plenty of time to explore and take pictures. We will spend about 30 minutes at the top.

As much as we would love to stay longer, it is time to head back down the same way we came. The descent will take 4 to 5 hours, and our private van will be waiting to take us back to Cusco. We will drop you off at your hotel around 5-6 PM.
