Itinerary Inti Raymi 2024: Tour Cusco and Machu Picchu 5 Days

DAY 1: JUNE 21, 2024, CUSCO CITY TOUR

We will start our adventure "Inti Raymi 2024 Cusco and Machu Picchu" by welcoming you and picking you up at Cusco airport to comfortably transfer you to your hotel. In the afternoon, around 12:30 p.m., we will pick you up from your hotel to begin our journey. We will start this tour with a visit to the famous city of Cusco (City tour). Our first stop will be the renowned Cusco Cathedral, one of the main temples of the city, housing priceless historical pieces and artworks, considered by many as one of the most significant and beautiful in South America. Next, we will visit the Qorikancha Temple or Temple of the Sun, a marvelous religious temple considered sacred by the Incas, as it was a place to worship the God "Inti," meaning Sun. Today, you will find interesting enclosures inside.

We will continue our guided tour to the archaeological sites around the city of Cusco, starting with the majestic Sacsayhuaman. Its Quechua name means "satisfied falcon" and was built with enormous stone blocks. In Inca times, it was called the house of the "Sun" and was a significant religious center that also protected the city of Cusco from its enemies. We will then visit Qenqo, meaning "Labyrinth," named by the Spanish for its labyrinthine underground galleries and small canals carved in a zigzag pattern. Later, we will move on to Puka-Pukara, known as the red fortress, named for the color of its stones. Finally, we will explore Tambomachay, a place dedicated to the worship of water, supplying this element to the Inca baths and surrounding sites. The culmination of our day takes place in the magnificent Plaza de Armas of Cusco, around 6:00 p.m., offering a closure in a charming and splendid environment.

Overnight in a hotel in Cusco.

INCLUDES:

  • Overnight stay in Cusco.
  • Entrance fees to Cusco Cathedral, Qoricancha, Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, Puka - Pukara, and Tambomachay.
  • Tourist bus transfers.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

And if you enjoy the nightlife, around the square, you will find many discos and bars.

DAY 2: JUNE 22, 2024, SACRED VALLEY - AGUAS CALIENTES

We will start our day with breakfast at your hotel. Around 7:30 a.m., we will pick you up from your hotel and start by visiting the archaeological center of Pisac, located 45 minutes from Cusco. Pisac will give you an idea of the advanced knowledge that the Incas achieved in architecture during their time.

Some studies reveal that it was not a fortress but a kind of "royal estate" during the rule of Inca Pachacutec, consisting of terraces, domestic and ceremonial structures, and aqueducts that provided water for agricultural exploitation. Another compelling reason to visit Pisac is its artisan market, where you can find unique and authentic souvenirs.

At noon, we will head to the town of Urubamba to enjoy a buffet lunch, allowing you to taste delicious Peruvian cuisine. Urubamba was one of the main agricultural centers of the Inca Empire. Currently, it grows the best corn in the world, and during the rainy season, the valley is filled with native fruits such as peaches, capuli, quince, and first-class strawberries, among others.

In the afternoon, we will visit the Ollantaytambo fortress, which was an agricultural, religious, and astronomical center. This is deduced from the Colcas, agricultural product deposits for conservation based on the wind system (agricultural deposits), and its finely carved and strategically placed stone blocks facing the Sun God to manage and control the Sacred Valley. This archaeological site comprises a series of superimposed terraces, showing the impressive and large stone blocks located on the upper terrace. In Ollantaytambo, we will board the train to Aguas Calientes to visit Machu Picchu early the next day.

INCLUDES:

  • Overnight stay in Aguas Calientes.
  • Entrance fees to Pisac, Ollantaytambo.
  • Tourist bus transfers.

DAY 3: JUNE 23, 2024, MACHU PICCHU - CUSCO

This day promises an exciting journey as we get to explore one of the wonders of the modern world, "Machu Picchu." We will start early, facilitating your transfer to the bus station for a brief journey of approximately 25 minutes, taking you to the majestic Archaeological Sanctuary of Machu Picchu.

Upon reaching Machu Picchu, you will enjoy its magical energy, temperate climate, air, the tranquility experienced from the moment you enter, its natural beauty, artificial terraces, and incredible stone constructions represented in its Inca quarters and ceremonial temples. The intense green of its terraces and the imposing mountain range that surrounds it form a beautiful landscape that exceeds all expectations. You will be amazed by its huge and impressive stone blocks joined together, making it unique as one of the most important religious, political, and cultural centers of the Inca empire. The Machu Picchu tour lasts approximately 2 hours, during which our guide will provide you with all the information and be attentive to all your inquiries.
