Every day of your trip, with where you'll spend the night.
Day 1
Your private driver welcomes you in the arrivals hall and escorts you along the coast to your hotel in Miraflores. The rest of the day is yours: stroll the clifftop malecón, watch paragliders drift over the Pacific and enjoy a first taste of the cuisine that has made Lima one of the great food capitals of the world.
Day 2
Take an early flight over the Andes to Cusco, where your private driver meets you and heads straight down into the Sacred Valley, lower and warmer than the city. Enjoy the views of the Urubamba River and the Andean villages on the way to Ollantaytambo, then board the panoramic train to Aguas Calientes, at the foot of Machu Picchu, and relax for the evening.
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
A day to slow down and let the altitude settle in. Explore Cusco at your own pace: sip a coca tea in a colonial courtyard, browse the boutiques and galleries of San Blas, visit the Cathedral or simply sit in the Plaza de Armas and watch daily life unfold between Inca walls and carved balconies. In the evening, enjoy a tasting menu at one of the city’s acclaimed restaurants.
Day 5
Transfer to Cusco airport for your morning flight to Lima, where you connect with your international flight home. End of services.

Yes. The train, the Inca citadel and a free day to discover Cusco’s markets and plazas make it a fun, easy trip for children. Family and connecting rooms can be requested in most hotel categories.
Going straight down to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, which are lower than Cusco, gives your body time to adapt before you sleep at Cusco’s higher altitude. It is the most comfortable way to see Machu Picchu on a short trip.
April to November is the dry season at Machu Picchu and in Cusco.
This route is designed to make the altitude easier: from Cusco airport you go directly down to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu (approx. 2,430 m), and you only spend nights in Cusco (approx. 3,400 m) after two days at lower altitude. Drink plenty of water and consult your doctor before you travel if you have a medical condition.
The price of this 5-day tour depends on the hotel category (Essential 2★, Comfort 3★, Superior 4★ or Deluxe 5★) and the number of travelers. See the Rates tab for the current price per person in a double or twin room.
