Arrival in Cusco, Peru
Upon arrival in Cusco, located at 3400 meters above sea level, you will be met by your guide and transferred to your hotel in the historic city center. Take the rest of the day to relax and allow your body to gradually acclimate to the altitude.

Cusco is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rich in history and culture. It is a beautiful city with well-preserved colonial architecture, bearing witness to a rich and complex past. The city itself represents the heart of indigenous Quechua culture in the Andes, and simply walking its cobblestone streets reveals the layers of history — from Inca stone foundations to Spanish colonial buildings. Many colonial structures were built directly atop ancient Inca walls, especially around the Plaza de Armas, where the vibrant energy of modern life and tourist nightlife coexist with centuries of heritage.

Cusco city tour (half a day)
Private services
Time to explore magical Cusco! This beautiful city has an interesting history, both from Inca and colonial times. You start this half-day tour at Cusco’s main square, which was called Huacaypata (Warriors Square) by the Incas. While the guide tells you more about the history of this special place, you can admire the city’s cathedral which was built between 1560 and 1664 with the red granite stones from the Inca Fortress of Sacsayhuaman. The cathedral is without doubt one of the most impressive buildings in Cusco, and not only from the outside: the historical buildings host one of the most significant collections of gold and silver work of the colonial period.
 Next, you continue to Koricancha and the Convent of Santo Domingo. The convent was built on top of the most important Inca temple dedicated to the worship of the sun, with walls covered with gold leaf. Wandering through the streets of what once was the capital of the Inca Empire, you feel like you are travelling through time.After exploring Cusco, you head to the nearby ruins, such as the Sacsayhuaman Fortress with its immense temple walls made out of huge stones constructed in a zigzag pattern; the red fort Puca Pucara; the Qenko Amphitheater, and Tambomachay, the Inca baths. Full of new knowledge about the history of the Incas, you return to your hotel in Cusco.

Machu Picchu – Ollantaytambo – Cusco
Machu Picchu, rediscovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911, is one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world. Built in the 15th century under Inca emperor Pachacútec, this mountain-top citadel is believed to have served as a royal estate, religious sanctuary, and astronomical observatory. Perched at 2430 meters above sea level, it offers spectacular views of the surrounding Andean landscape and the Urubamba River below. The site showcases extraordinary Inca engineering with over 150 structures—temples, terraces, fountains, and royal tombs—crafted using precise stonework techniques that required no mortar. Key highlights include the Temple of the Sun, the Sacred Plaza, the Intihuatana stone, and the Temple of the Condor.

Beyond its architectural brilliance, Machu Picchu reflects the deep spiritual and cosmological beliefs of the Inca civilization. Its layout aligns with astronomical events, such as solstices and equinoxes, and reveals a profound respect for nature and the cosmos.
