DAY 1: CUSCO - SACRED VALLEY - PISAC - OLLANTAYTAMBO - AGUAS CALIENTES.

We begin our Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu + Huayna Picchu tour at 7:00 a.m. We'll pick you up from your hotel and head to the Sacred Valley of the Incas, characterized by its temperate climate and incredible landscapes. This region is home to numerous archaeological sites and the rich history of the Inca people.

Our first stop is the town of Pisac, located 30 km from Cusco and at an altitude of 2,972 meters above sea level. Upon arrival, we will make our way to the top of the archaeological park of the same name, situated in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. This park is an integral part of the ancient Qhapaq Ñan trails, a network of roads that connected the jungle lands, now recognized as the Manu Biosphere Reserve. Additionally, this route served as the primary way to reach Qosqo (Cusco). It will be an incredible experience not to be missed. Pisac showcases the incredible skills of the Incas in their construction, with perfectly fitted and polished stones that make this place magical. After the tour, we will visit the town of Pisac, where you can stroll through its streets and its famous craft market, where you will find very original and varied items like paintings, artwork, keychains, crafts, dolls, and more, all made by local artisans from Pisac.

At noon, we will have lunch in the town of Urubamba to enjoy a buffet lunch featuring local and national cuisine. In the afternoon, we will visit the fortress of Ollantaytambo, which served as a strategic military, agricultural, and religious center for the administration and control of the Sacred Valley. This is evident from the constructions of walls and watchtowers. The site consists of a series of terraces with impressive finely carved stone blocks.

DAY 2: MACHU PICCHU – HUAYNA PICCHU - CUSCO

This tour is one of the most recommended, and it includes 2 entrances (1 for Machu Picchu in circuit 1 or 2 and another for Montaña Huayna Picchu).

At dawn, our guide will pick you up at your hotel to accompany you to the bus station where you will board the vehicle that will take you to the Machu Picchu Archaeological Sanctuary. The bus ride is the typical method to reach this Inca citadel and takes approximately 25 minutes.

Once we arrive at Machu Picchu, we will explore the main circuit (Circuit 2) and capture the iconic photo of the citadel. Our guide will begin the tour to provide you with insights into the history and wisdom of the site. We will explore the agricultural and urban area, including plazas, temples, roads, stairways, terraces, aqueducts, and other architectural structures of the Inca Citadel. This journey will last approximately 2 to 3 hours.

After concluding the tour of Machu Picchu, we embark on an exciting adventure to Huayna Picchu (Wayna Picchu). Our ticket (Circuit 4 + Wayna Picchu mountain) allows us to ascend this mountain, promising a unique experience. The ascent takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. As we ascend, we will enjoy breathtaking views of the mountains surrounding Machu Picchu and the Urubamba River leading into the mountainous jungle. In the final section of the trail, we will find steps leading to the summit. This last part is the most challenging, as the slope is very steep. Finally, we reach the highest part of Huayna Picchu, where the view is spectacular, and you will have a reasonable amount of time to take the best photos. Afterwards, we will take the same path back down (approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes), so please use caution.

After completing the tour, we return to the town of Aguas Calientes for lunch. Finally, we board the train back to the Ollantaytambo station, where our transportation will be waiting to take you comfortably to your hotel in Cusco.
