Trip Details

Full Itinerary

This fantastic Machu Picchu tour package begins with a complimentary airport pickup, ensuring you get to your hotel safely and securely. Take some time to adjust to the altitude in Cusco, and get settled in.

Later in the day, your guide will pick you up from your hotel. After a briefing on what to expect in the coming days, you will head out for a city tour, visiting the Cusco Cathedral, the Temple of the Sun (Coricancha), and the marvel of Sacsayhuaman.

After our city tour, your guide will drop you off to your hotel. From here, you are free to do as you please. Whether that is an early night, a lavish dinner, or taking a little time to explore the city at night.

Day two of your Peruvian adventure is brimming with activities, and plenty of things to discover. Our guide will pick you up from your hotel before heading into the Sacred Valley. Keep your eyes peeled during the journey, as Cusco city melts away into the Valley, the views we pass are incredible.

Our first stop is Pisac, which can be found just 45 minutes outside of Cusco. Pisac is famous for its vibrant market, filled to the brim with local handicrafts, and the archeological site high above the city.

After exploring everything that Pisac has to offer, we make a quick stop in Urubamba for lunch (not included) before continuing on to visit the famous salt mines of Maras. Here is where the majority of salt in Peru is farmed. Your guide will explain where the salt comes from and its importance for the community.

Wasting no time, we head off to our next stop- Moray. Moray was used by the Incas as a kind of agricultural experimentation center, and it existed for many years pre-Inca. Our final stop of the day is the ancient Incan town of Ollantaytambo.

Ollantaytambo is a beautiful little town, which has been inhabited since the time of the Incas. We will explore the ruins there before heading to our hotel in Ollantaytambo. It’s been a long day, so get some rest ready for tomorrow!

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before heading off to the train station, ready to begin your Machu Picchu adventure! The train journey lasts for around an hour and a half, and is one of the most beautiful routes in the world, winding through steep mountains alongside the rushing river.

As the mountain scenery dissolves into jungle, watch for the farms to transform into ruins. The denser the vegetation, the closer we are!

As we pull into the station, we head directly to the bus that will take us up the steep hill to where Machu Picchu is located, at which point our 2-hour private tour of the citadel begins.

We will explore the citadel at length, checking out the important parts and grabbing plenty of iconic photos along the way. Once you have all the pictures that you could possibly want, we will head back down to the town below (Aguas Calientes), where you have free time to do as you please until your train is ready to leave.

The Expedition train will take you back to Ollantaytambo at 2:55 pm or 3:20 pm, following the spectacular Urubamba River. On our arrival to Ollantaytambo, your driver will meet you at the exit from the train station to take you back to your hotel in Cusco in our private van. You can expect to arrive at your hotel at about 7:00 pm

*Optional:

If you would like to spend more time at Machu Picchu, this package can be customized to include an overnight stay in Aguas Calientes, which will allow you to make a second visit to the enigmatic citadel. On this second day, a Huayna Picchu and/or Machu Picchu Mountain hike can be added to your itinerary, to get a bird’s eye view of the ruins.

The next day, one of our representatives will meet you at your hotel and take you to the airport at a pre-arranged time, for your journey home or on to your next destination.

Alternatively, choose one of our other exciting Cusco tours or Sacred Valley excursions, or browse our full range of Peru travel destinations to extend your Peru vacation.

The guys were very efficient throughout the trip and attentive when we arrived at the campsite. The kitchen service was super delicious , the food quality and healthy, dishes suitable for people (vegans) and a buffet that has nothing to envy others.
Their kindness and efficiency are greatly appreciated for this journey to the Inca Way.

We had a great experience doing the 4d3n Inca Trail. Our porters were so hard working and made sure our tents and equipment were always ready for us. The chef Mario was outstanding and prepared restaurant quality vegetarian food everyday. Our guide Carlos made the trip exceptional, always making sure we were informed and making sure we were all enjoying the trail. He went above and beyond to encourage me when I was unwell. He made the trip the best ever. A beautiful and wonderful trek.

Hiking the Short Inca Trail was hands-down one of the highlights of my entire trip to Peru. This trek is the perfect option if you want a taste of the iconic Inca Trail without committing to the full 4-day hike.

From the moment we started the hike at KM 104 Carlos our guide was amazing and patient. we were surrounded by breathtaking mountain views, lush cloud forests, and fascinating Inca ruins. The trail itself is moderately challenging—expect a steady incline, stone steps, and a bit of cardio—but it’s absolutely doable for anyone with a decent fitness level. The sense of accomplishment when you reach the Sun Gate (Inti Punku) and get your first glimpse of Machu Picchu is
