Our most complete adventure — the full Cusco experience in one trip. Over six days and five nights, you’ll explore the temples and fortresses of Cusco, conquer the region’s two most spectacular high-altitude treks — the turquoise Humantay Lake and the surreal Rainbow Mountain — wander the weaving villages and terraces of the Sacred Valley, enjoy an evening of Andean dance and music, and reach the grand finale: the Lost City of Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
The itinerary is designed around smart altitude progression: a gentle city day first, then each trek a little higher, so your body adjusts as you climb. Everything is handled for you: private and shared transfers, professional guides, all entrance tickets, museum access, a folkloric dance show, buffet meals on trek days, 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 (≈12,140 ft / 3,700 m), the ceremonial site of Qenqo, and the outposts of Puka Pukara and Tambomachay, with entrance to the city’s museums along the way — a perfect first step for acclimatization. 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.
An early departure toward Soraypampa, at the foot of the Salkantay glacier. After an uphill hike, you’ll reach Humantay Lake (≈13,780 ft / 4,200 m) — a glacial lagoon of unreal turquoise framed by snow-capped peaks. Buffet breakfast and lunch included. Return to Cusco in the afternoon. Overnight in Cusco.
With another day of altitude behind you, you’re ready for the highest point of the trip: Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca, ≈16,400 ft / 5,000 m), one of the most photographed landscapes in Peru, where mineral layers paint the slopes in bands of color. Buffet breakfast and lunch included. Return to Cusco in the afternoon. 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 of the tours can be adjusted to match your arrival and departure flight times, while keeping the altitude progression in mind.

Faq's
This is our most demanding itinerary, with two high-altitude treks (up to 16,400 ft on Rainbow Mountain) on back-to-back days. A good fitness level is recommended, and the schedule is built so each day climbs a little higher to help your body adjust.
No, but a reasonable level of fitness helps. The hikes are accessible to beginners who go at their own pace; the main challenge is the altitude rather than technical difficulty.
We recommend arriving a day earlier if you can, staying well hydrated, eating light during the first days, and avoiding alcohol. The itinerary’s gradual altitude progression also helps. We provide a herbal altitude spray and support you throughout the 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 trekking 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.

EXCELLENT Based on 23 reviews Posted on Nelson R Outworldly beauty Long hike but well worth the effort. The experience was very nice and the staff right from the booking till driving me back to my hotel were incredibly nice and helpful. I did fel a bit shirt of breath as we got closer to the lake but the guide was quick to assist me and accompanied me all the way up to the lake ensuring that i did not have any issue. They did have an option of renting a horse but i didn´t feel it quite needful as the hike was through beautiful sites and i did have plenty of stop along the way to click photos. Would highly recommend spending a few days and acclimatizing well before doing the trek.Posted on Adriana Lucia C OUR ANCESTORS It is important to recognize and respect our ancestors because of them here we are, they have so much to offer and teach usPosted on Adriana Lucia C There's something else Your eyes will see what you are prepared to see, prepare you daily to know so many wonderful things, nothing is enoughPosted on Adriana Lucia C Amazing and revealing.
