Overview
This package is the fastest we can offer to visit both the historic city of Cusco and Machu Picchu.
We will begin the tour at the airport of Cusco, where a member of our team will await your arrival. Upon your arrival, they will then take you to your selected hotel. Later in the afternoon you will go on a Cusco city tour exploring some of the archaeological sites around the city, including Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, Tambomachay and Pucapucara. With this tour package, we will also have the opportunity to visit the famous Sacred Valley of the Incas, where along the way, we will also visit places such as the artisan market of Pisaq, the ruins of Pisaq and the center of Incan Astronomy in Ollantaytambo. Later we will take a train to Aguas Calientes where we will spend the night. After a night in Aguas Calientes, we will begin the day very early in the morning to take the bus to the citadel of Machu Picchu. Once at Machu Pichu, we will have a 2 hour guided tour and have the rest of the day to explore on our own. We will then wait for the train and make route for the return to Cusco.

Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Cusco
Fly to Cusco this morning and settle in for an afternoon of rest and easy exploration as you begin to adjust to the altitude.
Situated at 3,400 m (11,150 ft), Cusco is a city of whitewashed walls, red-tiled roofs, and soaring churches nestled in a fertile mountain basin.
In the afternoon, your tour will introduce you to the remarkable history of Cusco as demonstrated in its monumental architecture, richly ornamented churches, and present-day Andean cultural practices.
Begin in the UNESCO-recognized historic center. Visit the majestic Cusco Cathedral and the Qoricancha or Temple of the Sun. Then drive into the countryside to see the ruins of Sacsayhuaman, Qenko, Tambomachay, and Pukapukara.
Day 2: Sacred Valley Tour
The Sacred Valley was the spiritual center of the Inca Empire, where all-powerful emperors built private estates, temples, fortifications, and thousands of agricultural terraces.
Join your guide for a jaunt through the Sacred Valley’s remarkable places. Explore the Pisac ruins and shop at the famous artisan market in the village plaza. Scale the heights of Ollantaytambo fortress and be sure to explore the stone-lined streets of the village where water still flows through Inca-built channels.
After this tour, you will take a train to Aguas Calientes!
Day 03: Machu Picchu
For 400 years, the “lost city of the Incas” remained hidden atop a mountain ridge until it was revealed to the world on the pages of National Geographic in 1911.
Your day begins with an early morning bus trip up to the ruins. Your tour guide will lead you on an unforgettable walk through Machu Picchu’s stone-lined paths, along the terrace edges, to the base of structures that testify to the extraordinary skill of its builders.
After snapping some final photos, board the shuttle bus back to town and go to train station for your return to Cusco.
