Our most complete cultural journey through the Inca heartland. Over five days and four nights, you’ll explore the temples and fortresses around Cusco, the engineering marvels and colonial treasures of the South Valley, the weaving traditions and terraces of the Sacred Valley, an evening of Andean dance and music, and the grand finale every traveler dreams of: the Lost City of Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Designed for travelers who want to go deeper into Andean history and culture — without high-altitude trekking.

Everything is handled for you: private and shared transfers, professional guides, all entrance tickets, museum access, a folkloric dance show, scenic train rides, and hand-picked hotels. Designed to operate from 2 travelers, with personal assistance before, during, and after every tour.

Itinerary

Arrival at Cusco airport and a private transfer to your hotel. In the afternoon, a guided Cusco City Tour takes you to the imposing fortress of Saqsayhuamán, the ceremonial site of Qenqo, and the outposts of Puka Pukara and Tambomachay, with entrance to the city’s museums along the way. As night falls, enjoy a vibrant folkloric dance show at the renowned Centro Qosqo de Arte Nativo. We’ll also hand you a herbal altitude spray to help you settle in. Overnight in Cusco.

A day exploring the lesser-known but spectacular South Valley: the masterful Inca water terraces of Tipón, the pre-Inca Wari city of Pikillaqta, and the church of Andahuaylillas — famed for its dazzling gold-leaf interior and known as the “Sistine Chapel of the Americas.” Overnight in Cusco.

A full day in the Sacred Valley: the traditional village of Chinchero and a visit to Casa Quechua to discover authentic Andean weaving; the concentric agricultural terraces of Moray; and the dazzling Maras Salt Mines. Buffet lunch at a local restaurant in the valley. In the afternoon we reach Ollantaytambo, where you’ll board the scenic train to Aguas Calientes. Overnight in Machu Picchu Town.

A Consettur bus ride up to the citadel of Machu Picchu, where your private professional guide leads you through this Inca sanctuary. Plenty of time for photos and to take in the magic of the site. Return by bus to Aguas Calientes, then the scenic train back to Ollantaytambo, followed by tourist transport to Cusco. Overnight in Cusco.

Free time in the morning for last-minute souvenirs or a final walk through Cusco, followed by a private transfer to the airport — plus a farewell surprise to close out your journey. End of our services.

Note: the order and timing of the tours can be adjusted to match your arrival and departure flight times.

Recommendations

Arrive in Cusco one day early to acclimatize properly to the altitude before the package starts.
Bring your original passport (required to enter Machu Picchu, and it must match your booking).
Wear comfortable walking shoes — the archaeological sites involve uneven terrain and plenty of steps.
Carry cash in Peruvian soles for tips, markets, and purchases in local communities.
Dress respectfully when visiting the Andahuaylillas church (shoulders and knees covered).
Respect local communities and the natural environment: leave no trace and ask before photographing people.

Faq's

It’s a light-to-moderate level. There’s no trekking — the activity is mostly walking through archaeological sites and churches. The main consideration is Cusco’s altitude, so we recommend taking it easy on the first day.

No. This is a purely cultural itinerary focused on history, architecture, and iconic sites. If you’d like to add a hike, you can include Humantay Lake or Rainbow Mountain as an optional extra.

We recommend arriving a day earlier if you can, staying well hydrated, eating light during the first days, and avoiding alcohol. We provide a herbal altitude spray, and our team supports you throughout the entire trip.

The package operates from 2 travelers. Ask us about rates for groups or solo travelers.

Cusco’s dry season (roughly May to October) offers the clearest skies and best conditions, while the green season (November to April) is quieter with occasional afternoon rain. The trip runs year-round; we simply recommend packing a light rain jacket in the green season.
