With the arrival of the Spanish, the Convent of Santo Domingo was built over its structure, but the impressive Inca foundations can still be seen, demonstrating the Inca’s architectural mastery. Continuing the tour, we visit Sacsayhuamán, the most impressive constructions of the Inca Empire, located in Cusco, Peru.

The architecture of this site is unique and enigmatic, with a great deal of mystery. Near this place, we will visit the Qenco archaeological site with its eucalyptus forest, where we will have a short photo session. Finally, we will visit the abode of the gods.

Early, around 8:00 a.m., we will begin our adventure to the salt mines, as at this time they are empty so we can enjoy the place and take the desired photographs. Later, we will head to Moray, an Inca agricultural laboratory. These two sites date back to the Inca period and were very important, one for obtaining salt and Moray as a laboratory for obtaining improved seeds for agriculture. Later, we will continue the program to visit the artisanal textile factories where they process alpa and vicuña wool into very fine garments, still preserving traditional Inca textiles, giving them their color with natural elements obtained from nature. This is undoubtedly a magical place. In the afternoon, we will return to Cusco to rest in our hotel room.

This day, we will pick up your hotel at 8:00 a.m. and enter the Sacred Valley of the Incas. En route, we will have an optional stop (Cochahuasi), a sanctuary for rescued animals.

The long-awaited moment has finally arrived. We wake up early, have breakfast at the hotel, and head straight to the train station to begin our adventure on a picturesque train with breathtaking views of valleys, mountains, and magical sites en route to Machu Picchu Town. Here, our guide will be waiting for you at the train station to escort you from there to the buses.

If the trail becomes too difficult, you have the option of renting a horse to ascend to the lagoon (not included). After some free time, we will begin our descent for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. The descent will be less intense, and we will be more than satisfied with having witnessed the beautiful turquoise waters of this enchanting lagoon. In Soraypampa, we will take the return transportation to Mollepata, where we will enjoy a delicious lunch to recharge our batteries and rest our legs.

From here to the viewpoint, we’ll enjoy the presence of alpacas, llamas, wildlife, local people, and, above all, the impressive distant view of the Ausangate snow-capped mountain for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. For the classic photo, you must ascend to 5,036 meters (16,466 feet). The beauty of this place is unique, with its rainbow mountains, due to the different minerals found in its soil. At this point, we will stand atop the world-famous rainbow mountain. This will be a unique moment where we will have time to meditate and connect with nature, feel our heartbeats, and feel alive. Many say it resembles a scene from another planet, never seen before. Don’t worry about time; you will have plenty of space to take photographs and enjoy the peace at the top of the mountain. To conclude, in the afternoon, we will return to the starting point and enjoy a buffet lunch in the village to recharge our batteries.

At GT Perú Travel, the included and excluded services are detailed in all tour itineraries listed on our website. We handle all logistics; we just ask that you pay attention to the details so you don’t miss anything. Some elements may vary for specific programs, so please read carefully before booking with us.
Included

The hike to Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lagoon involves a steep path and a very early start. Prepare for a moderate physical challenge. Follow your guide’s advice on which foods are suitable and which are not. You can train in your hometown with a few short hikes at least two days a week.
Hiking and Exploring:

A full-day hike involves a lot of hiking and exploring; wear comfortable clothing, hats, and comfortable shoes, and enjoy a full-day adventure.
Packing Guide:

The clothing and equipment you’ll need depends on the tour and the time of year you travel. In general, we recommend packing light, comfortable clothing for the day, a jacket or sweater for cool evenings, comfortable hiking shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a reusable water bottle.
Documentation:

Passport and Visa: Make sure your passport is valid for at least six months from your planned departure date. Citizens of many countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, and most of Europe, do not need a visa for tourist visits to Peru for up to 90 days. Travel Insurance: Consider purchasing travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and any high-altitude trekking activities. It is not mandatory for this trip, but we STRONGLY recommend having it in case you need it. Please check the expiration date and restrictions carefully.
Vaccinations:

Consult with your healthcare provider about recommended vaccinations before traveling to Peru, especially to high-altitude regions or the jungle, where the yellow fever vaccine is recommended.
Health Care

Altitude Concerns: Some parts of the itinerary exceed altitudes, which can be risky. Take precautions and watch for symptoms of altitude sickness; it is recommended to seek medical advice beforehand, especially if you have pre-existing conditions, heart problems, or are overweight. Be aware of altitude changes, especially during treks and stays at high altitudes. Follow the instructions provided regarding altitude sickness. If you feel it’s really severe, you can ask your doctor for some pills or simply drink coca tea—it always helps! Health Precautions: Follow the guide’s recommendations and let them know if you have any heart problems or experience cardiac arrest. It’s very important to report this so they can take appropriate precautions. Bring all necessary medications (consult your doctor), insect repellent, and a basic first aid kit.
Physical Preparation:

Some activities require physical fitness; make sure you’re adequately prepared for hikes, walks, and adventure activities. Don’t forget to hike before traveling to Peru; this will help you be better prepared.

This tour offers various family-friendly activities. Some activities involve higher altitudes and physical demands, so it’s important to know your limits and not push yourself too hard. The Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lagoon activities are the most challenging. If you have difficulty walking, you can consider renting horses to get to the sites.
Appropriate Ages:

Many parts of the itinerary are family-friendly and welcome children of all ages. However, some activities, such as the Rainbow Mountain hike, involve moderate physical activity and may be more suitable for older children or those comfortable with hiking. Horses can be rented to assist you on the hike.
Food and Drink

Peruvian Dishes: Peru is famous for its varied and especially tasty cuisine. Be sure to try seafood dishes such as ceviche (raw fish marinated in lemon juice), lomo saltado (sautéed beef), and causa limeña (mashed potatoes). Try local dishes such as chiri uchú, the signature dish of Cusco cuisine. If you enjoy eating at street/fast food stalls or on the go, make sure they are always safe and hygienic, as a bad choice could ruin your trip.
Pisco Sour: A popular Peruvian cocktail made with pisco (grape brandy), lemon juice, simple syrup, egg white, and bitters. It’s a must-try and perfectly reflects Peru’s culinary culture.
Altitude and Diet: At higher altitudes, you may be offered lighter meals, such as chicken soup, for the first few days. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, especially at higher altitudes.
Vegetarian/Vegan Options: While Peruvian cuisine is primarily based on meat and seafood, many places offer vegetarian and vegan dishes. Inform your guides or restaurants in advance of any dietary restrictions or food allergies, and they will often accommodate your needs.

Handicrafts: Every place has its own advantages. Remember to bring cash, preferably in Peruvian soles, to buy souvenirs. Many places now accept cards, but cash is the most effective payment method in places where there is no signal.
Machu Picchu “Classic View”: At Machu Picchu, we must keep in mind that Peru has two seasons: the rainy season and the dry season. Machu Picchu is located at the edge of the jungle at 2,500 meters above sea level. This can sometimes cause it to appear cloudy in the mornings, or during the rainy season, it could be covered in fog, but this rarely happens.
Tipping Culture: Tipping rules in Peru for tour guides, drivers, and other service providers are not fixed. We always recommend giving a personal thank you, but it is not mandatory; it depends on your willingness and satisfaction with them.
Climate:

Climate Variation: The climate can vary by region; Make sure you bring appropriate clothing for different climates, especially for different altitudes, such as the Rainbow Mountains, or the winter months of May, June, and July, which are the coldest in our region.
Seasons in Cusco: Cusco has two specific seasons: the rainy season (November to March) and the dry season (April to October). The dry season is the months of June, July, and August, which are the coldest months.
Communication

Language: In Peru, the official language is Spanish and Quechua, but in tourist destinations like Cusco, many people speak English because of their tourism jobs.
Connectivity: In cities like Lima and Cusco, you’ll find good internet connectivity. However, in more remote areas, such as the Andean region or while hiking, you should keep in mind that you won’t be connected to Wi-Fi or the internet. Expect limited or no internet access on some routes, such as the Rainbow Mountains.

After our interesting tour, we will descend to the town of Pisac, famous for its craft market and center for the production of gold and silver crafts. Here we will have free time to buy crafts and souvenirs.

To enjoy a delicious typical buffet lunch, we will head towards Urubamba. Once satisfied after tasting the typical Peruvian cuisine, we will continue our journey to the archaeological complex of Ollantaytambo. It is one of the most visited and admired places in the entire sacred valley for its magical town trapped in time, full of history. Our guide will lead us through the impressive Inca constructions, offering one of the most representative tours that Cusco offers. We will also observe aqueducts, terraces, temples, streets and legends framed in one of the geographical points that houses towns of purely Inca descent such as Patacancha and Willoq.

This afternoon our adventure will continue on the train!!! Heading to the town of Machu Picchu where you will rest to visit the wonder the next day.

The long-awaited moment has finally arrived. We get up early, have breakfast at the hotel and head straight to the bus station to go to Machu Picchu. Our guide will accompany and assist you.

After 30 minutes on board the transport that will finally take us to Machu Picchu, we will descend and finally be at the entrance of the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu.

After marveling at the beauty of this imposing wonder, we will descend to Aguas Calientes or Machu Picchu Pueblo to enjoy free time, have lunch (not included) and rest before boarding the return train.

A day full of excitement awaits us with landscapes, rivers and colorful mountains where we will observe Alpacas and llamas in their natural habitat and we will also see local people who live in the mountains.

Once in Cusipata, we will enjoy a delicious and energizing breakfast before continuing in the vehicle to Llacto, the starting point of our hike. After a 1-hour trip in our private transport, we will descend to almost 4600 meters above sea level. Before starting, our team will give you recommendations for our tour and will also provide you with your respective walking sticks to use during the hike.

For the classic photo, it is necessary to ascend to 5,036 meters (16,466 feet). The beauty of this place is unique with its colorful mountains, this is due to the different minerals that exist in its soil. At this moment, we will be standing on the world-famous 7-color mountain. It will be a unique moment where we will have time to meditate and connect with nature, feel our heartbeats and feel alive. Many say that it resembles a scene from another planet, never seen before.
