DAY 1 | ARRIVAL IN CUSCO – CITY TOUR & NEARBY ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES

PM (1:00 PM – 6:00 PM approx.): In the afternoon, enjoy a guided city tour that includes a visit to the Cathedral and Koricancha (Temple of the Sun), now the Convent of Santo Domingo. Then, head to the outskirts of the city to explore the impressive archaeological sites of Sacsayhuaman (the puma’s head), Q’enqo (the labyrinth – a religious site for worshipping the Earth), Puca Pucara (the red fortress – used for military purposes), and Tambomachay (Temple of Water – a site of water worship).

DAY 2 | CUSCO – SACRED VALLEY TOUR (Overnight in Aguas Calientes)
After breakfast at the hotel, you will be picked up at approximately 8:30 AM for a full-day excursion to the Sacred Valley.
The first stop is the town of Pisac, known for its artisan market and Inca archaeological site where you can see an irrigation system, an astronomical observatory, a solar clock or Intiwatana, and impressive agricultural terraces.
You will then enjoy a buffet lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to Ollantaytambo. This archaeological site, built during the Inca period, served as a fortress and features a temple, terraces, and a residential area. Two sectors can be distinguished: one related to worship and religion, and the other for housing. Its walls and towers suggest it was also used for military purposes.
At the end of the tour, you will board a train to Aguas Calientes, where you will spend the night before visiting Machu Picchu the following day.

DAY 3 | MACHU PICCHU TOUR – RETURN TO CUSCO
After breakfast at the hotel, you will take an early morning bus to Machu Picchu, the "Lost City of the Incas" — one of the most impressive ancient sites in the world. Overlooking the Urubamba River, Machu Picchu was built in the 15th century at the height of the Inca Empire. Although this citadel was introduced to the world by American historian Hiram Bingham in 1911, locals had long known of its existence.
Its original purpose remains uncertain, as the Incas left no written records. Explore the ruins with your expert local guide and imagine life in this majestic city, perched about 8,000 feet above sea level. In the afternoon, return by train to the city of Cusco. Upon arrival, you’ll be met and transferred to your hotel.
We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco to visit the village of Maras and the experimental agricultural terraces of Moray. It is believed that the Incas created their own microclimates here to adapt crops to the altitude. Then we will visit the impressive salt mines of Maras — a vast complex of over 3,000 salt ponds. When the salt reaches a thickness of 10 centimeters, it is harvested and distributed to local markets.
Return to Cusco by midday. You will have the afternoon free to stroll around the city. Overnight at your hotel in Cusco.

Please bring the same document you presented to the agency, as the train tickets and entrance to Machu Picchu will be issued with this information.
On all train services to and from Machu Picchu, passengers are allowed to carry only hand luggage (backpack, purse, or briefcase) weighing no more than 5kg / 11lb. Your main luggage will be waiting for you at the selected hotel.
Allowed size: 62 linear inches / 157 cm (height + length + width)

Comfortable and light clothing is recommended for visiting coastal areas of Peru, while warm clothing is suggested for the high Andean region. It is not recommended to wear sleeveless shirts, shorts, short skirts, or revealing clothing when visiting religious temples or official buildings. Sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and mosquito repellent can be very useful during your stay.
Please note that check-in at most hotels is from 1:00 p.m. Guests arriving earlier will be subject to room availability and may need to wait in the hotel lobby.
Tour cancellations due to bad weather conditions are not refundable, as they are factors beyond our control.
According to the latest policy updates from the Decentralized Directorate of Culture of Cusco (DDC), all entrance tickets to Machu Picchu are personal. Therefore, tickets purchased for Machu Picchu are non-reschedulable, non-transferable to another date and/or person, and non-refundable.
The train company that takes you to Machu Picchu does not allow luggage over 5 kg. This means that most people bring a smaller backpack for the day in Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu. If you’re unsure where your larger luggage will stay during this time, you can leave it at your hotel’s storage in Cusco at no extra cost.
Peru Rail and Inca Rail, the companies that operate train services to Machu Picchu, do not allow seat selection. Seat assignments are automatically made by the company’s system.
We generally recommend booking the Expedition/Voyager train for the outbound journey and the panoramic Vistadome/360° train for the return trip. This is mainly because the outbound trains only have early departures, which would mean missing the guided visit to the Ollantaytambo archaeological site.
The Yellow Fever vaccine is not mandatory for travelers visiting Peru, at least not for those exploring the cultural regions. However, it is an additional precaution, especially since Peru is a tropical country—recommended particularly for trips to the Amazon rainforest.
Travel insurance is not mandatory, but it is extremely important—especially for tourists planning to visit Peru.
The standard voltage in Peru is 230 volts. However, some hotels have outlets with 110 volts, in which case there are transformers that reduce the voltage.
Most establishments accept payments in both US dollars and soles (Peru’s currency), making these the most commonly used currencies in the country. Ideally, you should carry some US dollars and a smaller amount of soles for purchases at craft markets, for example. It is recommended to bring US dollars and exchange them in Peru at reliable exchange houses recommended by your travel agency.
The country’s climate is divided into two main seasons: rainy and dry.
The rainy season lasts from November to the end of March, while the dry season runs from April to October. In the Cusco and Machu Picchu region, temperatures vary greatly, but typically the maximum reaches around 24°C (75°F) and the minimum can drop close to 0°C (32°F).
In the Lima region, located on the Peruvian coast, temperatures are higher and range between 12°C (54°F) and 35°C (95°F).
PAYMENT METHODS
The agency requests a 50% deposit of the total cost of the services to be contracted. This deposit can be made through authorized payment systems. The client must pay the balance 15 days prior to arrival in Peru.
