ITINERARY
Today, you will be picked up and transferred from Cusco airport to your hotel. Upon arrival, we will warmly welcome you with a special introduction to the tour, including a cozy welcome circle. Our goal is to make you feel comfortable and excited to explore the rich culture and stunning landscapes of Cusco.
After enjoying a delicious breakfast, we will head to the archaeological site of Pisac, an iconic place offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Sacred Valley.
Next, we will visit the Sounds of the Andes Workshop, where we will learn about the power of sound and Andean music. Here, we will experience the importance of music in Andean culture.
After this enriching experience, we will continue our tour to the Inkari Museum, a space dedicated to the history and culture of ancient Peruvians. Here, we will discover the evolution of Andean civilizations through interactive exhibits and artifacts.
After lunch, we will head to the town of Chinchero, known as the Rainbow Village. In this charming town, we will visit the archaeological center and a textile center where we will learn about the ancestral techniques used by Andean inhabitants to create beautiful fabrics.
Finally, we will conclude our tour with a return to your hotel.
We will leave the hotel at 8:30 AM and arrive at Piuray Lagoon in about 45 minutes.
Upon reaching the shores of Piuray Lagoon, we will be greeted with a station of hot drinks, water, and snacks (fruits and appetizers). We will start with a welcome briefing, followed by a stretching session to warm up. Once the stretching session is complete, we will provide the necessary equipment: kayak, paddles, skirts, and life jackets. The guide will give a technical and safety briefing.
After our kayaking tour, we will enjoy a delicious lunch, then continue our journey to the Ollantaytambo station to catch our train to Aguas Calientes.
After a delicious breakfast, we will take a bus to the majestic citadel of Machu Picchu, known as “The Crystal Condor.” After a 25-minute journey, we will present our tickets and passports.
Our guide will take us to the best viewpoints during a tour of approximately 2 hours, highlighting the spiritual significance of the site for the Incas. At the end, we will return to Aguas Calientes for lunch and then take the train back to Ollantaytambo, where a private bus will take us to Cusco and our hotel.
The city tour of Cusco begins at Qoricancha, the Temple of the Sun, which became the base of the Santo Domingo convent after the arrival of the Spaniards. During the Inca period, it was dedicated to the worship of Inti.
Next, we will visit Sacsayhuaman, an iconic structure of the Inca Empire, ordered by Pachacuteq in the 15th century, composed of enormous stones up to 9 meters high.
We will continue to the archaeological park of Qenqo, a center for worship of Mother Earth, where it is believed ceremonies were held and mummies of important leaders were deposited.
The next stop will be Puca Pucara, known as the “Red Fort,” likely a military control center, with archaeological structures like aqueducts and fountains.
Finally, we will visit Tambomachay, which features a beautiful system of channels and fountains, and was a place of water worship.
