Magical Cusco 7 days – 6 nights
7 Días / 6 Noches
Are you looking for the best way to visit the beautiful city of Cusco, with all its wonders and unforgettable sites?
This is your best option.
«Magical Cusco» (7 days / 6 nights) is a comprehensive journey through the heart of the Inca Empire. Explore the living history of Cusco, the landscapes of the Sacred Valley, the wonder of Machu Picchu, and the charms of Maras and Moray. Cap off the adventure at the stunning Rainbow Mountain, where nature displays its artistry in all its splendor. It is an experience filled with culture, energy, and Andean beauty.
Upon your arrival at the Cusco airport, we will pick you up and transfer you to your hotel, where you can rest; you will also have the opportunity to explore Cusco's historic center and the surrounding streets on your own.
We begin the day by heading to the town of Pisac. Our tour takes us toward the sacred area of Inti Punko within the Pisac Archaeological Park, where we will walk around the Pisac ruins and connect with the four elements of the earth. At midday, we will travel to Urubamba. After lunch, we will explore the Ollantaytambo Archaeological Site—formerly an Inca resting place and a departure point for Machu Picchu—and admire its impressive structures. Before concluding, we will stop in Chinchero to visit a local community and its Textile Interpretation Center, as well as the area's archaeological site.
The day will end with our return to Cusco.
We will start the day by heading to the bus terminal to board the bus that will take us to the train station in Ollantaytambo, where we will catch the tourist train to the town of Aguas Calientes. Upon arrival, we will take the tourist bus to the citadel's entrance and begin a guided tour of its main archaeological sites, including its various districts and plazas. There, we will have the opportunity to take the classic photo of Machu Picchu.
In the afternoon, we will return to the city of Cusco by tourist train.
We begin the day by picking you up from your hotel and traveling through the Sacred Valley of the Incas to the town of Maras, where we visit its church and colonial doorways. Next, we head to the circular terraces of Moray, an Inca agricultural laboratory. Our final destination is the Maras Salt Mines, a complex featuring over three thousand natural salt pools.
We will depart very early for the beautiful Mountain of Seven Colors, also known as Vinicunca. En route, we will make a few stops—including the village of Cusipata for a buffet breakfast—before continuing to the checkpoint to begin our hike, ascending to an altitude of over 5,020 meters. At the summit, you can take in the stunning scenery Vinicunca offers and get a close-up view of Apu Ausangate, as well as a magnificent view of the Red Valley surrounding the mountain. On the return journey, before reaching Cusco, we will stop in the community of Cusipata for lunch. Return to Cusco.
We will set off by tourist transport to Cusco’s South Valley. Our first stop will be the Tipón Archaeological Site, known as the "Temple of Water," where you can marvel at the advanced irrigation system and Inca agricultural terraces. Next, we will head to the Pikillaqta Archaeological Site, once a prominent pre-Inca city of the Wari culture. In addition to its rich history, you will enjoy panoramic views of the Huacarpay Lagoon wetlands in the town of Lucre. Finally, we will visit Andahuaylillas, home to the Church of San Pedro Apóstol—dubbed the "Sistine Chapel of the Americas" for its exquisite 17th-century colonial art. After our exploration, we will return to Cusco.
In the morning, we will check out of the hotel and then be transferred to the airport, bidding farewell to our incredible trip.
