| Day 1 | Arrival in Cusco, Peru 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. |
| Day 2 | Sacred Valley with Pisac & Ollantaytambo This tour includes a visit to the Pisac Ruins, an Inca complex showcasing the impressive architecture of the Incas. Once, this complex comprised large buildings with enormous walls made of stone blocks, and you can still see how imposing they were. Then, you will visit the Pisac Andean market, where thousands of people from the region come to sell and buy agricultural products and handicrafts. It is an interesting experience offering new insights into the culture of this region, and of course, you will also have time to do some shopping! You will also visit Ollantaytambo and its ruins. These famous ruins are named after Ollanta, a warrior who fell in love with an Inca princess but could not marry her. One of the best-preserved sites in this area is Hanan Huacaypata, located in the northern part of the main square. This ruin consists of elegantly crafted stone walls. End the tour in Ollantaytambo, where we’ll spend the night. |
| Day 3 | Ollantaytambo & Aguas Calientes |
| Day 4 | Machu Picchu – Return to Cusco 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. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu stands as a powerful symbol of Peru’s cultural legacy. Visiting the site is a journey into the heart of Andean history, spirituality, and ingenuity. Machu Picchu is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
