Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1: Lima (Arrival) - Cusco (By Flight) - Urubamba
Welcome to Peru! Upon arrival at the Lima International Airport, you will connect to your domestic flight to Cusco, a short but spectacular flight over the snow-capped Andes Mountains. Reach Cusco, the oldest inhabited city in the hemisphere, situated at an elevation of 11,440 feet. Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to your hotel in Urubamba at the Sacred Valley.
Overnight in Urubamba
Day 2: Urubamba (B/-/-)
Today you will enjoy breakfast at the hotel. Enjoy a full day at leisure or enjoy an optional tour.
Overnight in Urubamba
Day 3: Urubamba - Machu Picchu - Cusco (B/-/-)
This morning you will travel on the Expedition train through the Sacred Valley to Aguas Calientes, where you will board a shuttle up to the \"Lost City of the Incas\" — the legendary Machu Picchu. Perched 8,200 feet above the valley, the city of Machu Picchu was hidden by mountains and semi-tropical jungles for 400 years until it was discovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911. A knowledgeable tour guide will share the history of this mystical place with you. This afternoon you will take the train back to Ollantaytambo Rail Station, where you will be met and transferred to your hotel in Cusco.
Overnight in Cusco
Day 4: Cusco (B/-/-)
After a delicious breakfast, enjoy a tour of the oldest continuously inhabited city in the western hemisphere, Cusco, and the nearby ruins. You will get the opportunity to see how the Andean and Spanish cultures co-existed and influenced the city. The tour will begin at Santo Domingo Convent, built on the site of Koricancha, which was a significant ancient Inca palace and center of worship of the Sun God. The tour will continue to the Main Square, the site of the Cathedral and the La Compañía Church. Later, you will visit the Sacsayhuaman Fortress; just one example of the military Inca architecture in the area. Finally, the tour will take you to the nearby archaeological sites of Qenko, Puca-Pucara, and Tambomachay, which can be found northeast of the city.
Overnight in Cusco
Day 5: Cusco - Puno (B/L/-)
Get ready for one of South America's most extraordinary overland trips to take you by bus from Cusco to Puno, passing through striking highland scenery and picturesque Andean villages. En-route you will stop at the town of Andahuaylillas. The church here was founded in 1580 and is a showcase of the colonial art in Peru, sometimes referred to as \"the Sistine Chapel of the Americas” due to its rich interior. You will also stop at Raqchi to see the remains of the remarkable temple of Viracocha, considered by historians to be a significant Inca construction, and at La Raya, the highest pass on the route. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the beautiful countryside as you discover llamas, alpacas, and vicunas wandering the wild. The last stop before Puno will be in Pucara, an old ceremonial site showing evidence of a pre-Inca civilization. You will arrive at your hotel in Puno later this afternoon/evening. Spend the rest of the day at leisure.
Overnight in Puno
Day 6: Uros And Taquile Islands (Lake Titicaca) (B/L/-)
Today you can enjoy an amazing boat excursion out onto the highest navigable lake in the world, Lake Titicaca, to see the floating Uros Islands and Taquile Island. The floating islands of the Uros Indians are made by tying totora reeds together and are a must-see for any traveller. The Uros people consider themselves Lords of the Lake; they hunt wild birds and maintain traditional fishing methods. Taquile is a very important site known for its archaeological remains, sacred and ceremonial sites and festivals. The island is characterized by its friendly inhabitants, who maintain the customs and traditional clothing of their ancestors – there are many fine, woollen hand-made goods on sale here. You will return to Puno later today.
Overnight in Puno
