To detail

Lima, the historic capital of Peru, better known as the City of Kings, was the seat of the Viceroyalty and the main administrative center of the Spanish colonies in South America in the 16th century.

Continuing with our itinerary, the second day will be scheduled for a flight to Cusco. This department is located in the Andean region of Peru, just a 42-minute flight from Lima. Upon arrival at the Cusco airport, our staff will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel so you can check in and prepare for your first activity.

On this second day, you can choose between two programs:
The first, called the Mirabus Open Tour (the tour is conducted on an open-top bus), will take you to the main archaeological sites such as Sacsayhuamán, Q’enqo, and Puka Pukará. Although we won’t stop at these sites, you’ll get the best panoramic views from the Mirabus. We’ll perform a traditional Inca ceremony honoring Pachamama (Inca Mother Earth), the mountains, and the natural world. We’ll learn about the four most important auchenids in South America inside a textile center, and we’ll end at the large white statue of Christ that stands on the hill overlooking the city of Cusco. From here, you can enjoy fantastic views of the entire city.

The second option would be to take the Traditional City Tour of Cusco (here the tour is conducted in a conventional vehicle), where we’ll visit the Temple of Qorikancha, the main Inca temple, now the foundations of the Church of Santo Domingo. Then, we’ll head to the top of Cusco, where we’ll visit 4 archaeological parks, starting with Tambomachay and ending with Sacsayhuamán, where we’ll conclude our tour with beautiful panoramic views of Cusco.

On the third day, we will enjoy the ancient charm hidden within the citadel of Machu Picchu, awarded the World’s Best Tourist Attraction in 2019. The Machu Picchu Tour circuit is regularly booked with Circuit 2, subject to availability at the time of your quote. (If this route is unavailable, please note that only Circuits 1 and 3, the alternative circuit routes to Machi Picchu, can be offered.)

On our fourth day, you can choose between our two best outdoor excursions (trekking): The first option will be the beautiful Humantay Lagoon, located at the foot of the Salkantay snow-capped mountain. For the second option, we will visit the world-famous Rainbow Mountain, where you can appreciate stunning colors along the mountain range.

Remember that this package includes all the aforementioned tours, allowing you to enjoy everything from cultural experiences to full-blown adventures. We assure you, you won’t regret your first visit to Peru!

FAQs

What recommendations would you give us if it's our first time traveling to Peru?

Definitely one of the most important things to do before traveling to Peru for the first time is to check the weather forecast for each destination during your stay. Peru is a country with a wide variety of climates, with sunny, foggy, and sometimes rainy days, so you need to be prepared for anything. Don’t forget to check the weather forecast for your travel date.

For your day in Lima, the capital, we also suggest checking the season the city will be in at the time of your visit, as this city has all four seasons.

What recommendations would you give us for our visit to the city of Cusco?

Definitely one of the most important things to do before traveling to Cusco for the first time is to check the weather forecast for your stay. Cusco can be a very cold city, or very sunny during the day, so you should be prepared for anything.

The second thing is definitely to try to do light activities on the first day, to help you acclimatize and get used to the altitude, if you aren’t already. We recommend drinking coca tea, drinking plenty of fluids, and eating as light as possible (digestion here tends to be a little slower than normal).

What important details should I know about this package?

The tours are offered as a shared service, meaning the vehicle will be shared with other clients up to a maximum of 15 passengers. All participants will follow the same itinerary.

In order to comply with the itinerary, please be very attentive at boarding time to ensure you meet the departure and return times.

-TRAIN TO AGUAS CALIENTES: Seat locations for this service are shown on the ticket that will be sent to you electronically upon purchase of the package.
