January to December
Airport reception and transfer to the hotel in Lima. Accommodation in Lima.
Pick-up at your hotel and the start of a 3.5-hour tour of our capital city: Lima, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean. We'll take you to the Miraflores boardwalk and the iconic Love Park for the best view of the city's coastline. Then we'll continue on and stop in front of Huaca Pucllana, a large adobe pyramid that looks like a sleeping giant amidst modern buildings. The guide will explain how, centuries before the Incas, sacred rituals were performed there. (Entrance fee not included).
We'll head to the Historic Center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walking through its colonial streets, the guide will lead us to the Plaza Mayor, surrounded by the Cathedral, the Government Palace with its stately balconies, and the City Hall.
Afterward, we'll continue to the Convent of San Francisco, a true architectural treasure. Among cloisters decorated with Sevillian tiles, paintings from the Cusco School, and underground passages, the catacombs will offer a fascinating encounter with the past. On the way back, we'll pass by Plaza San Martín, where the pigeons and Republican-era facades will evoke a sense of nostalgia. Return to your hotel. Overnight in Lima.
Transfer to the airport for your flight to the Imperial City of Cusco in the afternoon. Upon arrival, transfer to your 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 among 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 comes from the depths of our hearts will be: we are standing before one of the wonders of the world!
ADDITIONAL: ENTRANCE TO WAYNA PICCHU (Subject to availability) If you wish to climb Wayna Picchu, you must purchase a separate entrance ticket that includes it for $60 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).
