Itinerary Tour to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu
Day 1: Visit the Sacred Valley of the Incas
Between 08:00 and 08:30 AM, we will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco and begin our journey to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Along the way, we will stop at the natural viewpoints of Qorao and Taray to enjoy the beautiful views and learn a bit from our guide. Next, we will visit the archaeological site of Pisaq, which is approximately 1 hour outside of Cusco. There, we will see important Inca constructions that served as an area for adapting agricultural products. We will have a two-hour guided tour of the archaeological complex before heading to the town of Pisaq, where the most popular artisan market in the area is located.
Subsequently, we will continue our journey to Urubamba, passing through traditional towns such as Coya, Lamay, and Calca along the scenic route.
At 12:00 PM, we will arrive in Urubamba; here, we will stop for lunch.
Our next stop will be the town of Ollantaytambo, which many refer to as the city where the Inca lived, as it still retains its original structure. We will tour the archaeological site of the same name as the town, approximately at 4:00 PM.
Around 7:00 PM (depending on train availability), we will board the train in Ollantaytambo, which will take us to Aguas Calientes, where you can have dinner on your own, and we will spend the night.
Day 2: Guided Visit of Machu Picchu
Early in the morning, we will take the bus to Machu Picchu. At the archaeological site, we will immerse ourselves in the enigmatic beauty and unparalleled Inca engineering perfection of the site, which has made it one of the 7 new wonders of the world. We will have a 2-hour guided tour with a specialist guide who will explain the history of the site.
