DETAILED ITINERARY
DAY 1 (TUE 3rd or MON 9th)
... CUSCO - SACRED VALLEY (-)
Welcome to Cusco, the city of the Incas! Upon arrival the group will be met at the airport and privately escorted to the Sacred Valley.
En-route, visit the salt mines of Maras, where an intense white shines like snow on a sunny day - an impressive sight for any visitor. Salt was extracted from these mines from Inca times on and the same method has been used ever since. Afterwards, you head to Moray. The circular terraces hidden among the hills are similar to a Greek amphitheater. Surrounded by an impressive backdrop of snow-covered mountains, Moray was used as an open-air agricultural lab for adapting crops to different environmental conditions.
DAY 2 (WED 4th or TUE 10th)
SACRED VALLEY - CUSCO (B)
Morning transfer to Ollantaytambo train station. The TBA(Vistadome/Expedition) train ride takes you through the Sacred Valley of the Incas up to Machu Picchu.
Upon arrival, a small coach takes you up the steep roads to the entrance of the citadel. For centuries Machu Picchu remained undiscovered by the Spaniards and has only been found in 1911 by the American explorer Hiram Bingham. During a guided tour you will experience the uniqueness of the location and the genius that went into its construction, making this Inca site one of the seven new wonders of the world.
In the afternoon, you will board the TBA(Vistadome/Expedition) train back to Ollantaytambo, where you will be gathered and transferred to your hotel.
DAY 3 (THU 5th or WED 11th)
CUSCO - LIMA (B)
Your comprehensive city tour includes the beautiful Koricancha or Sun Temple, the Cathedral as well as the Fortress of Sacsayhuaman, a most remarkable Inca building, the amphitheater of Kenko. This is followed by a visit to Puca Pucara, a strategically located 'red fortress' that dominates the entire area before visiting Tambomachay, with its two distinctive aqueducts that to this day continue to provide clean water to the area.
At proper time you will be picked up from your hotel and transferred to the airport for your upcoming flight.
