Embark on a 2-day journey through the heart of the Inca Empire. This tour takes you across the breathtaking landscapes of the Sacred Valley, surrounded by traditional Andean villages, vibrant markets, and impressive archaeological sites. Spend the night in the enchanting town of Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo) to reach Machu Picchu early the following morning and experience the Lost City of the Incas at its best—peaceful, mystical, and full of history.
Your journey begins with hotel pickup in Cusco around 8:00 am. You will travel to the Sacred Valley in a tourist bus, with your first stop at the Pisac Archaeological Complex, where your guide will explain the history of its terraces, temples, and stunning viewpoints.
Next, visit the Pisac handicraft market, famous for its textiles, handmade crafts, and silver jewelry. The tour continues to Urubamba, where you will enjoy a buffet lunch included in the tour.
After lunch, you will head to Ollantaytambo to explore its monumental archaeological site, known for its massive terraces and ancient Inca structures.
In the afternoon, you will board the Expedition or Voyager train to Aguas Calientes. Upon arrival, check in at your hotel and enjoy free time to explore the town before resting for your Machu Picchu visit the next morning.
Early in the morning, after breakfast at the hotel, you will take the bus that ascends the mountain to the entrance of Machu Picchu, the crown jewel of the Inca civilization. After passing the control gate, your guided tour begins, lasting over two hours. Explore iconic landmarks such as the Guardian’s House, Temple of the Sun, Intihuatana, Temple of the Three Windows, Sacred Plaza, Condor Temple, and the Sacred Rock.
After the guided visit, enjoy free time to walk around, take photos, or simply absorb the mystical energy of the citadel. When ready, take the bus back to Aguas Calientes for lunch (not included).
