5 Day
Your journey to the heart of the Inca Empire begins upon your arrival at Cusco Airport. Our friendly representative from Machupicchu Latinoamérica will be there to give you a warm welcome. As we take you to your hotel through the bustling streets of Cusco, the ancient capital of the Incas, you will start to feel the rich history that lives in every corner of this city.
During the journey, we will inform you about your itinerary and answer any questions you may have about your upcoming adventures. Once you settle into your hotel, you will notice the unique blend of Inca stone and Spanish colonial architecture that gives Cusco its distinctive charm.
If you're up for it, consider an optional city tour (additional cost) to visit iconic sites such as Qorikancha (Temple of the Sun) and Sacsayhuaman, an impressive fortress made of enormous stone blocks, each perfectly fitted without the use of mortar.
Overnight: Cusco
After breakfast, the real adventure begins. Between 7:00 am and 7:30 am, your guide will pick you up for a journey through the stunning Sacred Valley. Our first stop will be at the Manos de la Comunidad Rescue Center, where you will meet friendly alpacas, llamas, and vicuñas, animals that played a vital role in Inca life.
Next, we will descend to the Taray viewpoint, which offers one of the most breathtaking panoramic views of the valley. As you gaze upon the expansive agricultural terraces, you will understand why this region was considered the granary of the Inca Empire.
At the Inca site of Pisac, you will marvel at the ingenuity of Inca agricultural techniques as you explore ancient temples and altars. Then, we will visit the Pisac Market, where you can interact with locals and purchase beautifully handcrafted souvenirs.
After a buffet lunch in Urubamba (not included), we will continue to Ollantaytambo, a well-preserved Inca fortress where you will hear stories about the Inca god Wiracocha and how this site was used during the resistance against the Spanish.
In the afternoon, we will board the train to Aguas Calientes, following the Vilcanota River through lush, green valleys. Upon arrival, you will be escorted to your hotel, and you will have the rest of the afternoon free to explore this charming town.
Overnight: Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo)
Today is the day you've been waiting for. After breakfast, we will head to the bus station for a 30-minute journey up the mountain to the entrance of Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Once inside, you will begin your guided tour of this magnificent citadel. Our expert guide will bring the site to life, explaining the significance of places like the Temple of the Sun, the Royal Tomb, and the Intihuatana, a ritual stone believed to have been used by the Incas as a sundial.
After the tour, you will have free time to explore the site on your own or simply soak in the mystical energy that surrounds Machu Picchu.
In the afternoon, we will return to Aguas Calientes for lunch (not included) before boarding the train to Ollantaytambo. Our private transport will take you back to Cusco, where you will arrive at 6:30 pm.

Get ready for an early start, as your guide will pick you up between 4:30 am and 5:00 am for a day of adventure. We will drive to the village of Cusipata, where you will enjoy a hearty breakfast to recharge for the hike ahead.
The journey to Vinicunca, the Rainbow Mountain, takes you through the heart of the Andes. As you hike, you will be surrounded by spectacular views of the mountains and herds of grazing alpacas.
After approximately 1.5 hours of hiking, you will reach the summit, where the vibrant colors of the mountain will unfold before your eyes. After admiring the stunning views, we will begin our descent and return to Cusipata for lunch.

To visit Rainbow Mountain, you only need one day. It’s typically done as a day trip from Cusco, starting early in the morning and returning by late afternoon. The entire hike takes about 1.5 to 2 hours each way, making it the perfect one-day adventure.
The best time to visit Rainbow Mountain is during the dry season, from April to October. During these months, you’re more likely to experience clear skies and enjoy the vibrant colors of the mountain without the risk of rain. May and September are particularly great months for fewer crowds and ideal weather.
Absolutely! Rainbow Mountain is one of the most stunning natural wonders in Peru. Its vibrant colors, caused by mineral deposits, make it a breathtaking sight. The hike to the summit is challenging but rewarding, offering panoramic views of the Andes and the Ausangate Mountain Range. It’s a must-see for nature lovers and adventurous travelers.
The hike to Rainbow Mountain is moderately challenging due to the high altitude (5,200 meters or 17,060 feet). The ascent can be steep at times, and the altitude may cause shortness of breath for some hikers. However, the trail is well-marked, and for those who find it difficult, horseback rides are available for an additional cost. Proper acclimatization in Cusco is recommended before attempting the hike.
