Upon your arrival in Lima, we’ll arrange your transfer to the hotel. After settling in, we’ll visit the Magic Water Circuit in the Parque de la Reserva—a stunning series of fountains recognized by Guinness World Records. This captivating attraction is a must-see and one of Lima’s top destinations. Afterward, we can recommend some great dinner spots before returning to the hotel for the night.

After breakfast, set out on a hike to the Palomino Islands, located just 9 kilometers off Lima’s coastline. These islands are home to hundreds of animal species, including various bird species and sea lions. After the tour, disembark at the pier and visit Callao Monument, an urban art project designed to promote cultural development, unite the community, and enhance the quality of life for residents in the area. You’ll have free time to explore art galleries and bohemian restaurants, which have become popular new attractions in the city.

After a full day, you’ll be transferred back to your hotel to rest and get ready for your flight to Cusco the next day. You’ll spend the night in Lima.

Upon arrival at Lima International Airport, you will take a domestic flight to Cusco. This short yet spectacular flight over the snowy Andes Mountains brings you to Cusco, the oldest inhabited city in the hemisphere, situated at an altitude of 3,487 m (11,440 ft). Once arriving in Cusco, we will then transfer you to your hotel in Urubamba in the Sacred Valley.

Overnight in Urubamba.

In the morning, we’ll visit the Pisac archaeological site for a 30-minute tour before embarking on a one-hour journey to Ollantaytambo, where we’ll explore its awe-inspiring fortress.

In the afternoon, we’ll catch the train to Aguas Calientes, where the agency staff will be ready to take us to our respective accommodations.

Later in the afternoon, you’ll have some free time to explore the town of Aguas Calientes. We’ll gather for dinner at the scheduled time. Make sure to rest up early, as tomorrow is the big day—your visit to Machu Picchu.

After breakfast, we’ll explore the citadel of Machu Picchu with a guided tour lasting about 2 hours. Afterward, you’ll have some free time to wander and take in the site at your own pace. We’ll then descend by bus to Aguas Calientes to catch the return train to Ollantaytambo, followed by a transfer back to Cusco.

Book in Advance: Secure your spot to climb Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain at least 3 months ahead of time (around $70).
