Every day of your trip, with where you'll spend the night.
Day 1
Welcome to Cusco (approx. 3,400 m), the ancient capital of the Incas. Your private driver meets you at the airport and takes you to your hotel to rest. In the afternoon, set out at a gentle pace with your private guide to discover the Cathedral and the Koricancha, the Inca Temple of the Sun, followed by the zigzag walls of Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay above the city.
Day 2
Your driver takes you from Cusco through the Sacred Valley to Ollantaytambo, where you board the panoramic train along the Urubamba River. Glass ceilings frame the snow-capped peaks as the landscape turns to cloud forest. Arrive in Aguas Calientes, at the foot of Machu Picchu, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon in this mountain town.
Day 3
Take an early bus up to Machu Picchu and discover the Inca citadel with your private guide: the Main Plaza, the Temple of the Sun and the Intihuatana stone, set between towering green peaks above the Urubamba River. After the tour, return to Aguas Calientes and board the panoramic train back to Cusco.
Day 4
Enjoy a relaxed breakfast and some free time in Cusco, perhaps a last stroll around the Plaza de Armas or a visit to the San Blas artisan quarter. At the appropriate time, your private driver takes you to Cusco airport for your next flight. End of services.

It starts and ends in Cusco, so it is easy to add to a longer trip around Peru or South America. We can book your flights to and from Cusco, or add extra nights in Lima, the Sacred Valley or Lake Titicaca.
April to November is the dry season in Cusco and at Machu Picchu.
You arrive directly in Cusco (approx. 3,400 m), so the city tour starts in the afternoon at a gentle pace after time to rest. The next day you descend to Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu (approx. 2,430 m), which are lower and easier on the body. Drink plenty of water and consult your doctor before you travel if you have a medical condition.
