Itinerary at a Glance
Begin your adventure in Cusco before descending into the Sacred Valley where ancient terraces, snow-capped peaks, and riverside villages capture the essence of the Andes Mountains. Enjoy a farm-to-table lunch at a working hacienda, wander colorful markets, and explore the cliffside ruins of Pisac. Over the next two days, learn traditional weaving from Quechua women, enjoy a gourmet lakeside picnic, and walk through the photogenic white terraces of the Maras Salt Mines. A highlight: sharing stories and a Pachamanca feast cooked beneath the earth with a mountain community before ending the day at the ancient fortress of Ollantaytambo.
Begin your trek along the historic Inca Trail, a breathtaking four-day journey through diverse terrain—from high mountain passes and ancient archaeological sites to cloud forest trails lined with orchids and bromeliads. Hike to the summit of Warmiwañusqa (“Dead Woman’s Pass”), explore hidden ruins like Runkurakay and Sayacmarca, and camp beneath starlit Andean skies. Your final day of trekking brings you to the famed Sun Gate at sunrise, with the first light breaking over Machu Picchu—an unforgettable moment of arrival at the Lost City of the Incas.
Wake early to watch the sun rise over Machu Picchu before your private guided tour through this legendary site. After a celebratory lunch, retreat to the luxurious Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel in Aguas Calientes. Spend the next day at your own pace: hike Huayna Picchu, soak in thermal baths, or explore lush gardens teeming with hummingbirds. On Day 9, take the scenic train back to the Sacred Valley with a brewery stop along the way, then settle into the historic JW Marriott in Cusco. Your final day includes a visit to the magnificent Sacsayhuamán fortress and a walking tour of Cusco’s colonial streets and Incan wonders. Celebrate your journey with a farewell lunch at Chicha, the acclaimed restaurant of chef Gastón Acurio.
