January to December
Airport reception and transfer to the hotel in Lima. Accommodation in Lima.
At the appropriate time, transfer to the airport for your flight to Cusco. Upon arrival, transfer to your chosen hotel.
Between 12:30 and 1:00 PM, visit the heart of the ancient capital of the Inca Empire: Cusco's Plaza de Armas. Surrounded by colonial churches and carved wooden balconies, its atmosphere vibrates with a blend of Inca past and Spanish influence. We will enter the Cusco Cathedral, where the Baroque art of Cusco seems to converse with Andean symbols hidden beneath golden brushstrokes.
A short walk away, Qorikancha, the Temple of the Sun, awaits. There, the perfectly fitted stone walls will remind you of the grandeur of the Incas.
We will leave the city center to ascend to the archaeological ruins that overlook the city. The first stop will be Sacsayhuamán, the fortress of cyclopean blocks, so large they appear to have been sculpted by giants.
We will continue to Qenqo, a ceremonial center where stone passageways held secrets of ancestral rituals. Finally, in Tambomachay, the murmur of the water fountains will speak to us of the sacred connection between the Incas and nature.
Return to the hotel around 6:00 PM. Overnight in Cusco.
Between 7:20 and 8:00 AM, we will pick you up from your hotel and begin our excursion to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. This beautiful valley is comprised of numerous rivers that flow through verdant ravines and small valleys. First, we will visit the ruins of Pisac, an impressive structure built during the height of the Inca Empire. Here, we can observe the remarkable achievements of the Incas, with countless agricultural terraces adorning virtually all the surrounding mountains.
Afterward, we will visit a picturesque artisan market and have lunch at one of the typical restaurants in this town. Later, we will travel to the town of Ollantaytambo, where we will visit the beautiful fortress of the same name.
In the afternoon, we will transfer to the Ollantaytambo train station to board the train to Aguas Calientes. The journey takes approximately two hours and offers spectacular scenery. Departure is at 4:35 PM, and arrival is at 6:00 PM. Overnight in Aguas Calientes.
Includes: Lunch in Urubamba.
Departure from the bus station to board the transport that will take us uphill to the ruins of Machu Picchu. This short bus ride lasts only 20 minutes and travels along a very steep, winding, unpaved road through a mountain with jungle-like features and breathtaking views.
The morning mist will greet us at the entrance to Machu Picchu, as if the mountains still wish to protect the secret of the lost city. With the guide leading the way, we advance slowly, and suddenly, through the mist, the unmistakable silhouette of the terraces and stone walls will appear. The murmur of all the visitors fades: because the exclamation that rises from the depths of our hearts will be: we are standing before one of the wonders of the world.
ADDITIONAL: ENTRANCE TO HUAYNA PICCHU (Subject to availability) If you wish to climb Huayna Picchu, you must purchase a separate entrance ticket that includes it for $70 USD per person. A guide is not included; you will hike independently for approximately 2 hours.
In the afternoon, we will take the bus back to Aguas Calientes where you can have lunch (lunch not included).
Return to Cusco by train and bus. Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to your hotel; overnight stay in Cusco.

Option 1: Adventure Excursions… On this day, you can choose which of the two adventure and nature excursions you will visit. Both offer breathtaking landscapes, but please be aware that they require significant physical effort. Departure from Cusco at 5:00 AM, return at 5:00 PM. Approximately 2-hour hike to Humantay Lagoon at an altitude of 4,200 meters. Approximately 2.5-hour hike to Rainbow Mountain at an altitude of 5,000 meters. The route includes gently sloping climbs and gradually ascending plains. Horses can be rented for both hikes on-site and will be led by local muleteers. Basic breakfast and lunch are included.
2nd option: Walking tour, Experience Cusco through the eyes of a local, feel its energy and be captivated by its living history on this unforgettable 3-hour walking tour of the imperial city. During this walking tour, you will explore the most emblematic places in the historic center: Plaza de Armas, Barrio San Blas and Inca Walls with its colonial streets.
7:00 AM. Departure by tourist bus, visiting the Manco Capac tourist corridor that connects the cities of Puno and Cusco. The bus has professional guides who will allow you to visit the following sites: the Pukara Lithic Museum, the La Raya trail where you will appreciate snow-capped mountains, alpacas, and vicuñas, lunch in Sicuani, the Raqchi archaeological complex, and the Andahuaylillas church, known as the Sistine Chapel of the Americas.
ADDITIONAL OPTION: Departures on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays on the Peru Rail Titicaca Luxury Train. Additional cost per person: $265. Departs at 7:30 AM and arrives at 5:50 PM. Travel on an exclusive train through the beautiful landscapes between the cities of Cusco and Puno on a 10-hour journey, passing serene waters and dazzling peaks of the Peruvian Andes. Immerse yourself in our culture with live Andean artists and traditional dances, all while enjoying our signature pisco sour and a gourmet lunch.
Arrival in Cusco at 4:30 PM. Reception and transfer to the hotel. Overnight in Cusco. Includes: Lunch.
Between 7:00 and 7:30 a.m., pickup from your hotel to begin a journey across the highest navigable lake in the world. At the port, your guide will be waiting to welcome you aboard the boat that will sail across Lake Titicaca.
As the engine starts, the boat glides through calm waters. Gradually, small floating islands made of totora reeds appear in the distance — the Uros Islands.
Upon arrival, the local people greet you with warm smiles and colorful traditional clothing. They share the story of how their ancestors built the islands using layers of totora reeds and how, even today, they regularly renew them to keep the islands afloat.
You walk on the soft ground, hearing the gentle crunch of reeds beneath your feet. Families show you their homes, their way of life, and may even invite you to take a ride on the famous totora reed boats.
After the visit, the guide announces that the adventure continues. You return to the boat and head toward Taquile Island, a journey of nearly two hours by boat.
Once ashore, you begin an uphill walk along a path surrounded by green terraces and wildflowers. In the main square, the locals welcome you with music and explain their strong community organization — on Taquile, everyone takes part in the island’s social and economic life. Lunch is served overlooking the lake: a warm quinoa soup, fresh trout, and muña herbal tea.
After the visit, the guide announces the return. You board the boat with the feeling of having experienced a day filled with culture, scenery, and tradition. Overnight in Puno.
Included: Lunch on Taquile Island.
Transfer to Juliaca airport (1 hour) for your return flight to Lima. Upon arrival, you will have time to wait for your connecting flight to your final destination.
