Itinerary
Day 1: From Cusco to the Sacred Valley and train to Aguas Calientes
The exciting adventure begins at 7:40 a.m. with pickup at your hotel, kicking off an unforgettable tour of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The first stop is the archaeological complex of Chinchero, where you will discover the ancient art of textiles in a brief demonstration. The journey continues to the impressive circular terraces of Moray and the famous salt mines of Maras, a fascinating set of pools where locals still extract salt in the traditional way.
After a delicious buffet lunch in Urubamba, the expedition continues to the formidable archaeological complex of Ollantaytambo, a stone fortress that will take your breath away. From there, you will board the train that will take you to Aguas Calientes for the night. This trip is not just a tour, but the prelude to the ultimate experience: a visit to the majestic citadel of Machu Picchu the following day.
Day 2: Visit to the Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, return to Cusco
At 4 a.m., we will prepare to take the first buses that will take us to Machu Picchu, which opens at 6 a.m. We will enjoy a guided tour of approximately 2.5 hours, where we will discover the cultural richness of the Incas and explore the most significant points of the citadel. After this tour, you will have free time to continue exploring the site on your own.
After our guided tour, we will return to the exit of the Sanctuary to take our bus back to Aguas Calientes. We will head to the train station and board the train back to Ollantaytambo, and then we will transfer by bus to Cusco.
