Day 1: Cusco - Sacred Valley of the Incas - Aguas Calientes
Start your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Cusco and set off on an exciting adventure into the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Visit Pisac, one of Peru's most beautiful Incan archeological sites.

As you arrive in the colonial town of Pisac, enjoy a walking tour through the cobble-stoned streets, leading you to a breathtaking view from the mountaintop. Leave some free time to browse the handicraft market and find a perfect souvenir.

Following your visit, head to Urubamba for lunch. With your appetites satiated, visit the archeological complex of Ollantaytambo, where you'll see an ancient Incan rock technique used hundreds of years ago. Don't forget to glimpse the towering hill fortress nearby, too.

Catch a train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes, heading straight to your hotel upon arrival. Be sure to get a good night's rest as tomorrow will be jam-packed with adventure.

Day 2: Aguas Calientes - Machu Picchu - Cusco
Start the day off right with a delicious breakfast with us, and from there, head to the site you've all been waiting for: Machu Picchu. Climb the intricate trail that rewards you with a spectacular view of the Urubamba River, which also shapes the famous canyon below.

As you come to the trail's end, be greeted by the Lost City of the Incas and its incredible terraces, staircases, and ceremonial quarters. With this view alone, it's easy to see why Machu Picchu is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.

Enjoy a guided visit to the archeological complex and then cap off the day with a typical lunch at one of the local restaurants nearby. Then, it's time to board your train again and bring you back to your hotel in Cusco where you'll arrive in the early evening.
