Trip Itinerary:

Day 1: Cusco – Pisac Ruins – Ollantaytambo – Aguas Calientes.

To begin the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu 2 Days 1 Night we will pick you up from any hotel in Cusco at either 7 or 8 a.m., depending on what train you take back, after your tour.

You and your tour guide will take our private transportation to the first stop, the Awanacancha Alpaca farm. Here, you will see the traditional animals of the Incas: llamas, alpacas, viñuna, and guanaco. Your guide will give you background information, show you a potato display and a textile center, showing how the wools are woven and colored. Good quality alpaca wool will be for sale.

Then, we’ll drive to El Mirador del Valle Sagrado, the Sacred Valley Lookout Point, for amazing views and photos. Following, we will visit the famous Pisaq Market, where women come down from the Andean villages to sell their textiles and vegetables. The market is open every day, but is busiest on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

After the visit to the market, we will continue the journey up to the Pisaq Inca Archeological site, located on top of Pisaq Mountain in the Sacred Valley. Your tour guide will take you to the most impressive spots.

Then, we will drive along the valley for about 45 minutes, until we reach Urubamba, where we will stop for lunch. You will have an amazing selection of fresh dishes, served buffet-style. After lunch, we will drive to Ollantaytambo, where the second heaviest Inca monoliths are to be found. The ruins have an amazing Temple of the Sun, Moon, and The Temple of the 10 Niches. This living Incan town displays narrow walkways, lined with water channels. 

After that we’ll go to the train staon, which we can walk to in 15 minutes. There you’ll board the our train heading to Aguas Calientes. During the trip, you’ll see several glaciers and snowy peaks, as well as ferle green valleys and
Inca agricultural plaorms on both sides of the valley. Once in Aguas Calientes, you’ll stay in a pleasant and comfortable hotel.

Day 2: Sunrise in Machu Picchu – Cusco.

Today you will be visiting the famous Sacred City of the Incas, the crystal city of the Inca civilization. You will determine, with your tour guide, the best time to start your day. Most people prefer to rise at 4:45 a.m.

It can be enjoyable to arrive at the ruins as soon as they open, at 6 a.m., to catch the magical mists on the ruins as the sun rises. After a 25 minute bus ride to Machu Picchu, your tour guide will take you to the best views before the day trippers arrive.
