Machu Picchu 2 Days and 1 Night

Day 1: Discovering the best of the Inca´s history: Chinchero - Maras - Moray - Ollantaytambo.

We have much to uncover in Cusco, so let's start with the Sacred Valley.

Early, between 6:00 am and 6:30 am, we'll embark on a day of touring, starting with Chinchero, a small town in Cusco known as the land of colorful textiles. Here, we will visit some wool farms and learn how it is made from scratch. We can also buy some handcrafted goods here!

Our next spot will be Maras Salt Mines and the Moray terraces: the circular terraces of Moray and the natural salt mines of Maras. Both places played crucial roles during the Incan era. Moray was termed an Incan laboratory that acclimatized seeds for distribution across various altitudinal levels. Similarly, the salt from Maras served as a form of trade in the area.

After these visits, it is lunch time and we'll get the opportunity to taste the Peruvian flavors in a local restaurant in Urubamba. Satisfied with our culinary adventure, we'll continue to the archaeological complex of Ollantaytambo. This site is an impressive fortress showcasing the Incan architectural prowess. Guided through the imposing Incan constructions, we'll experience one of Cusco's most emblematic journeys, witnessing aqueducts, terraces, temples, streets, and legends rooted in the heart of Incan heritage.

To wrap up the day, we will board the panoramic train to Aguas Calientes, after 2 hours we will get to this small town and soak in the tranquility of the river and town at a comfortable local hotel.

Day 2: Make your dreams come true in Machu Picchu!

This day we'll start our tour very early, and after breakfast, we'll head to the station to board the bus. Here, we will ascend 400 meters along a zigzagging path for 30 minutes to reach the incredible wonder of the world, "The Sanctuary of Machu Picchu," also known as "The Lost City of the Incas."

Now, your dreams come true, you will have, just in front of you the beautifulness of this mystical place.

Time to go in! You'll pass through the entrance control where you'll present your ticket. From there, the guided tour will start, visiting main sites such as the Main Plaza, the Circular Tower, the Sacred Solar Clock, the Royal Quarters, the Temple of the Three Windows, and the cemeteries.

After the guided tour, you'll have free time to explore Machu Picchu on your own. Later, we'll return to the town of Aguas Calientes, where you can have lunch at one of the local restaurants (lunch is not included).

In the afternoon, you'll board the train back to Cusco (please arrive at the station 30 minutes before your train's departure time). The return journey follows the same route as the first one. Upon arrival at the Ollantaytambo Train Station, we'll be there to transfer you to your hotel in Cusco (a 1-hour and 30-minute car ride).
