Lima – Cusco – Sacred Valley
Begin your day with a transfer from your hotel to the Lima airport for a domestic flight to Cusco. Upon arrival in Cusco, continue directly into the heart of the Sacred Valley for a full-day tour.

Nestled between Cusco and Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley was a vital area for the Inca civilization. Its mild climate and fertile plains made it ideal for agriculture, while its location served as a key trade route to the Amazon basin. Even today, the valley remains a vibrant agricultural region, supplying much of Cusco’s produce.

Your tour starts with a visit to the Pisac Ruins, a remarkable Inca complex showcasing the architectural genius of the empire. Massive stone walls and terraces dominate the landscape, offering panoramic views of the valley below. After exploring the ruins, head to the Pisac Andean Market, where locals from surrounding communities gather to trade fresh produce, textiles, and handcrafted goods. This is a great opportunity to experience the local culture—and perhaps find a unique souvenir.

In the afternoon, continue to the Ollantaytambo Ruins, one of the most significant and well-preserved Inca archaeological sites. Named after the legendary warrior Ollanta, who defied royal custom by falling in love with an Inca princess, these ruins include the striking Hanan Huacaypata, known for its finely carved stone terraces and ceremonial platforms.

Your day concludes with a visit to Chinchero, a picturesque Andean village known for its traditional weaving techniques and vibrant textiles. Rich in Inca history, Chinchero also offers stunning views and a glimpse into the enduring traditions of the Andean people.

Machu Picchu
Begin your adventure with a transfer from Urubamba to the Ollantaytambo train station, where you’ll board the Vistadome Train bound for Machu Picchu—one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO Cultural and Natural World Heritage Site since 1983.

Hidden deep within the lush Peruvian cloud forest, Machu Picchu is one of the most extraordinary examples of landscape architecture ever created. Believed to have been a sacred site for Inca worship, the citadel seamlessly blends natural beauty with masterful stone construction. Your guided tour begins at the main entrance, where you’ll ascend a zigzagging path to reach a scenic terrace—an ideal spot for taking in panoramic views and capturing the iconic postcard-perfect photo of the site. From there, the tour moves into the heart of the citadel. Along the way, you’ll pass the ancient stone quarries and the Sacred Plaza, once the spiritual and social center of the complex. Continue down to the Sacred Rock, whose massive form is thought to mirror the mountain landscape behind it. The final stretch of your tour includes visits to the Eastern Qolqas (storehouses), the mystical Water Mirrors, and the tranquil Pisonay Plaza.

On your return journey aboard the Vistadome Train, enjoy a unique onboard experience. The ride includes a live fashion show featuring a contemporary collection of baby alpaca garments—available for purchase—highlighting Peru’s renowned textile artistry. You’ll also be treated to traditional Andean dances and a complimentary snack made from local ingredients, accompanied by a selection of non-alcoholic beverages, offering a true taste of the Andes.

Tour Maras and Moray
Your day begins with a pick-up from your hotel, followed by a scenic drive to Moray, a fascinating archaeological site renowned for its unique amphitheater-like structure. Here, four circular terraces descend into the earth, forming what appears to be an artificial crater carved into the Andean highlands. Scholars believe Moray served as an advanced Inca agricultural research center, where varying microclimates allowed for experimentation with different crop varieties.

Next, continue to the nearby town of Maras, a charming village known for its colonial-era church and, most notably, the Maras Salt Mines. These terraced salt pans, carved into the mountainside and still in use today, have been harvested since Inca times. The stunning contrast of white salt pools against the dramatic landscape makes this a favorite spot for photographers and nature lovers alike.

After your visit, transfer to Cusco, where you’ll spend the night.
