Itinerary

Pre-trek briefing

You will have a through briefing with your guide 1 or 2 days before your Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu 2 Days 1 Night. Your guide will meet you in your hotel and you can take this opportunity to ask questions and make any final preparations.

Trip Itinerary:

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

To begin the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu 2 Days 1 Night tour, we will pick you up from any hotel in Cusco at 7:30 am, and then take our private transportation to the first stop, the Awanacancha alpaca farm.

Here, you will observe traditional Inca animals: llamas, alpacas, viñunas, and guanacos. Your guide will provide general information, show you a potato exhibition, and a textile center, where they will demonstrate how wool is woven and colored. High-quality alpaca wool will be available for sale.

Next, we will head to the Sacred Valley Lookout (Taray), where we will enjoy views of the Sacred Valley. Afterward, we will visit the famous Pisac market, where women from the Andean villages come down to sell their textiles and vegetables.

After visiting the market, we will continue the journey to the Inca archaeological site of Pisaq, located atop Pisaq Mountain in the Sacred Valley. Your guide will take you to the most impressive sites.

Then, we will drive through the valley for an hour until we reach Urubamba, where we will enjoy lunch. You will enjoy an incredible selection of fresh dishes served buffet-style.

After lunch, we will head to Ollantaytambo, home to the second largest Inca monolith. The ruins house the impressive Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Moon, and the Temple of the Ten Niches. This living Inca village features narrow paths lined with water channels.

Then, we will head to the train station, a 15-minute walk from there. There, you will board our train to Aguas Calientes. During the journey, you will see several glaciers and snow-capped peaks, as well as green, fertile valleys and Inca farmland on both sides of the valley.

Our representatives will meet you right outside the train station upon arrival and escort you to your hotel.

Overnight in Cusco.
Meals included: Buffet Lunch.

Day 2: Aguas calientes – Machu Picchu – Ollantaytambo – Cusco.

Start your day early with breakfast at your hotel before boarding one of the first buses to Machu Picchu, ensuring you arrive in time to witness the magical sunrise over the Lost City of the Incas—an unforgettable sight you won’t want to miss.

Upon arrival, your guide will lead a two-hour tour through the most significant areas of Machu Picchu Citadel, explaining its history, architecture, and purpose. Explore the site’s three main sectors: the agricultural terraces, the residential area, and the religious sector, gaining insight into how the Inca civilization once thrived in this awe-inspiring mountain retreat.

After soaking in the spectacular views, take the bus back down to Aguas Calientes, where you’ll have time for lunch (not included). Depending on your train departure, you may also explore the town, visit the local market, stop by the museum, or relax in the hot springs.

In the afternoon, board your train at 2:30 p.m. or 3:20 p.m., following the Urubamba River through the stunning Sacred Valley. As the train winds through the narrow canyon, keep an eye out for the spectacular Wiñay Wayna ruins, visible high up on the mountainside.

After a two-hour journey, you will arrive at Ollantaytambo, where a private bus will be waiting to take you back to Cusco. Upon arrival, we will drop you off at your hotel, concluding your incredible adventure.
