As a first day, It's time to explore the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Our tour starts with a hotel pickup around 7:30 a.m to head to our first stop: Pisac in the Sacred Valley.

After an hour-long journey, we'll reach the Pisac Archaeological Site, an Incan citadel and religious center. You'll have a detailed explanation of its importance while marveling at its structures, including terraces, towers, the Inca cemetery, k’alla Q’asa, Amaru Punku, and more.

Following this captivating tour, we'll descend to the town of Pisac, famous for its artisan market and craftsmen creating gold and silver goods. Here, you'll have free time to shop for crafts and keepsakes from the region.

Next, we'll go to Urubamba for a delightful buffet lunch and get the chance to try delicious Peruvian cuisine. 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.

In the afternoon, we will board the train at the Ollantaytambo station heading to the town of Aguas Calientes. During the journey, we will be accompanied by a chain of mountains and the Vilcanota River, as well as abundant vegetation. Upon arrival in the town, a representative will be waiting for us and will guide us to the hotel where we will rest and prepare for the tour the following day to 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.

TRAVEL ADVIDE

Adventurous Activities: Sandboarding and dune buggy rides can be thrilling but may require physical fitness for participation. You are not forced to do adventurous activities, you can always say no in case you are afraid of.
Walking and Exploration: A full-day tour involves extensive walking and exploring; wear comfortable shoes and a day-long adventure. Here is another tip: Do not use NEW sneakers, use the ones that make you feel comfortable.
Packing Guide: Refer to this packing guide LINK for specific packing suggestions considering varying conditions.

Documentation

Passport & Visa: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date. Citizens of many countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, and most of Europe, do not need a visa for tourist visits to Peru for up to 90 days.
Travel Insurance: Consider travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and any high-altitude trekking activities. Is not mandatory for this trip but we EXTREMELY recommend having one.

Healthcare

Altitude Concerns: Certain parts of the itinerary exceed altitudes where altitude sickness can be a risk. Take precautions and be aware of AMS symptoms; seeking medical advice beforehand, especially if you have pre-existing conditions, is recommended. Keep in mind the altitude changes, especially during treks and high-altitude stays; heed any guidance provided regarding altitude sickness. In case you feel it is really heavy, you can ask your doctor for some pills or just have coca tea, it always helps!
Health Precautions: Stay hydrated, especially in higher altitudes like Cusco, and be aware of the potential effects of altitude sickness. Carry any necessary medications (ask your primary care doctor), insect repellent, and a basic first-aid kit.

Is this tour right for me?

Family-Friendly: This tour offers some different activities suitable for families. The itinerary includes a variety of experiences, from cultural explorations to outdoor adventures. Since we offer day per day well distributed tours, it could suit children and whole families, just be ready for the adventure and get to know beforehand the activities we will have during this trip.
Age Suitability: Many parts of the itinerary are family-friendly, welcoming children of different ages. However, some activities, like the Humantay Lake trek or the Rainbow Mountain trek, involve moderate physical activity and might be more suitable for older children or those comfortable with hiking. In case you have babies, they are welcome too BUT remember to bring their special request and take care of them all the time.

Food and Drink

Altitude and Diet: In higher altitudes, you might find lighter meals for the first days such as chicken soup. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially in elevated areas.

Culture

Hand crafts: Always keep some cash with you to buy some souvenirs you may want. They sometimes accept cards but cash is the most popular payment method.
Machu Picchu “classical view”: Probably we always see the typical Machu Picchu postcard view. It is possible to have this spectacular view BUT remember to choose the season accurately because during the rainy season it is kind of foggy to have good views.
Tipping Culture: Tipping norms in Peru for tour guides, drivers, and other service providers are not fixed. We always recommend giving a personal appreciation but it is not a must, it is up to you.

Climate

Weather Variation: Weather across regions can differ; ensure to pack for diverse climates, especially for varying altitudes. For example, Ica y warm and dry, so summer clothes can be good. For Cusco or Machu Picchu, we never know so it is important to always pack a warm jacket and rain gear.
Seasons in Cusco: In Cusco there are two specific seasons: Rainy and Dry season. Even though there is always the possibility of having rain or sun unexpectedly. But here you can have some advice: From April to September, we have the dry season and from October until March, we have the dry season.

Communication

Language: Basic knowledge of Spanish might be helpful, but English is commonly spoken in tourist areas.
Connectivity: In cities like Lima and Cusco, you'll find good internet connectivity. However, in more remote areas, such as the mountains or while hiking, you have to be aware that we will not be connected to wifi or the internet. Expect limited or no internet access.
