Cusco 9 Days

After an early breakfast at the hotel, a fascinating day begins toward the legendary Sacred Valley of the Incas, a place that combines ancient history, dreamlike landscapes and living culture. Our first stop will be the Taray viewpoint, from where you can appreciate a spectacular panoramic view of the valley and the winding rivers that cross it.

We continue to Pisac, known for its colorful artisan market and its archaeological complex, masterfully built on the mountainsides. Here, you will feel the living pulse of the tradition that still endures among its inhabitants.

Later, we will make a stop to enjoy a buffet lunch at a country restaurant in Urubamba, in the heart of the valley, surrounded by nature and pure air. In the afternoon, we will arrive at Ollantaytambo, an imposing Inca fortress that was the scene of important battles of resistance. Its terraces and carved-stone temples will leave you breathless.

We end the day in this charming Andean town, where you will spend the night, ready for the next great adventure.
Overnight in Ollantaytambo.

After breakfast, an unforgettable experience awaits you: Machu Picchu, the most precious jewel of the Inca legacy. From the Ollantaytambo train station we will board a panoramic train that skirts the Urubamba River, while the jungle and Andean landscapes intertwine on a magical journey toward the town of Machu Picchu (Aguas Calientes).

Upon arrival, we will take the bus that ascends a mountain road to the entrance of the citadel. Once inside, get ready for a guided visit of approximately two and a half hours, where you will discover the sacred temples, ceremonial squares, agricultural terraces and spectacular viewpoints of this wonder of the world.

Then, you will have free time to contemplate this masterpiece of architecture and mystery at your own pace. At the end, we will descend to Aguas Calientes to board the return train to Ollantaytambo or Poroy, from where we will transfer you again to your hotel in Cusco.

Get ready for one of the most impactful experiences of the entire trip. Very early in the morning we will set off for Soraypampa, the starting point of a moderate hike (approximately 1.5 hours) until reaching the magical Humantay Lagoon, located at more than 4,200 m.a.s.l. This natural jewel, with turquoise waters and surrounded by the imposing glaciers of Humantay and Salkantay, offers a setting that seems taken from another world.

You will have enough time to contemplate the place, breathe pure air, take spectacular photos and feel the sacred energy of the Apus (mountain spirits). Afterwards, we will enjoy a well-deserved lunch and return to Cusco in the afternoon.

After breakfast, we will begin a fascinating half-day tour to the agricultural heart of the ancient Tahuantinsuyo. Our first stop will be at Moray, a complex of circular terraces that served as an Inca agricultural laboratory. Here, the ancient Peruvians experimented with crops in different microclimates, demonstrating an advanced knowledge of agriculture and the environment.

Then we will head to the Maras Salt Mines, a set of more than 3,000 salt pools that form a surreal white landscape among the mountains. This ancestral solar-evaporation system is still in use today and is a living example of Andean wisdom.

In the afternoon, we will return to Cusco to rest and enjoy the rest of the day free.

We will get up very early to set off for one of the most impactful natural wonders of Peru: the Rainbow Mountain, also known as Vinicunca. After an energetic breakfast en route, we will begin a hike of approximately 1.5 to 2 hours through high-altitude Andean landscapes, surrounded by llamas, alpacas and a sacred stillness.

At more than 5,000 meters above sea level, a spectacular view awaits us: a mountain with strata of natural colors that form a petrified rainbow in the middle of the mountain range. Here you will have time to take unforgettable photos, breathe the energy of the Apus (mountain spirits) and let yourself be amazed by the majesty of the Andes.

At the end, we will return to Cusco to rest after this intense but unforgettable day.

After breakfast, we will set off for the South Valley, a less-traveled corridor but deeply rich in history. Here the traces of pre-Inca and Inca cultures converge in a single fascinating trip.

Our first stop will be at Tipón, a jewel of Inca hydraulic engineering, where water still flows through channels carved with millimetric precision. Then, we will get to know Pikillaqta, an extensive urban center of the Wari culture, with straight streets, stone walls and a history prior to the Incas. We will finish with the visit to Andahuaylillas, whose baroque church is nicknamed the "Sistine Chapel of America", thanks to its impressive murals and gilded altars.

At midday we will return to Cusco to enjoy the free afternoon. Ideal for resting, exploring at your own pace or shopping for souvenirs.

Very early in the morning we will set off for the majestic Ausangate mountain range, the highest snow peak in Cusco and one of the most sacred in the Andean worldview. After breakfast en route, we will begin a challenging and deeply rewarding hike, which will take us through a circuit of 7 lagoons of intense colors, between 4,200 and 4,600 m.a.s.l.

During the tour we will marvel at the turquoise, green and reddish tones of lagoons such as Pucacocha, Azulcocha, Orco Otorongo, China Otorongo, Qomercocha, Alqacocha and Patacocha, framed by glacial valleys, snow-capped mountains and herds of alpacas grazing freely.
