Description:

This dynamic tour begins with our local guide meeting you at our travel agency or your hotel. Upon a tour briefing, we will take private transportation to Cruzpata, where you will experience the thrill of riding horseback through the rural community surrounded by snow-capped mountains and idyllic farmlands near the archeological site Moray. Our certified guide will share the history of this important site where the Incas utilized terraces to grow plants and foods at different altitude levels. Scientific research has discovered that agricultural terraces have a 15-degree difference in temperature. After visiting the archaeological site of Moray, we will take our horses to the picturesque village of Maras and enjoy a small tour of the town, where we will see a 400-year-old church. In Maras, we will leave our horses and take private transportation to the famous “salt mines” that have been in use since pre-Inca times. After seeing the small wells with salt particles extracted, we will return to Cusco using our private transportation. We are expected to arrive in the city of Cusco at 16:30.

Description:

Perolniyoc is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Sacred Valley! This astounding 100-meter cascade is truly in the middle of nowhere and allows trekkers to bask in the beauty of the Andean mountains. On the hike, you can see a variety of traditional flora, such as elder, queuña, and chachacomo, and catch a glimpse of village life as community members tend to their crops in the countryside below. However, this tour includes more than spectacular scenery and breathtaking vistas. The top of the waterfall has an incredible archaeological center called Raqaypata. This Inca site includes houses with two floors, Qolqas that served as warehouses, lodging rooms called kallankas, and a ceremonial enclosure. The architectural and archaeological jewel has withstood the test of time with the help of local Rayan residents and restoration efforts by Ministerio de Cultura. Enjoying the great legacy of the Inca culture will always be a meaningful adventure that will move us through time and space, allowing us to envision the past. By visiting this archaeological zone, we will embrace its lingering mystical and spiritual charm. When booking, do not forget that you can also combine this tour with the Sacred Valley Tour in 1 Day.

Your trekking guide will assist along the trail, pointing out the local flora and fauna while sharing historical and cultural anecdotes. The trekking is smooth, and the tour will take place at your pace. 

Once at the waterfall, admire the colorful landscape and learn about the geological processes responsible for it. Take photos and enjoy the view while resting before our trek continues to the Inca archaeological site for an additional hour.

After lunch, your guide will take you on an informative tour of Raqaypata, indulging every photo opportunity and question that may crop up.

Description:

The SACRED VALLEY TOUR explores the ruins of archaeological and architectural marvels that held great significance in Inca culture. The Sacred Valley has a milder climate and lower elevation than Cusco, making it a perfect trip for those struggling to acclimatize to the altitude or weather. Our experienced guides will take you to a succession of picturesque villages, agricultural terraces, archaeological sites, and local markets. This entire region belongs in a postcard, so don’t forget to bring a camera! On one jam-packed day, this popular and traditional tour visits all the main sites: Pisac, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, and Chincheros. In addition to the sites we visit on this tour, the Sacred Valley has other sites of interest that can be visited separately, such as Maras, Moray & Salineras, Tipon, Pikillacta, and Andahuaylillas. We recommend an overnight stay in the Sacred Valley to soak up the relaxed atmosphere here and have time to visit all these incredible places. This tour can also be added to the Machu Picchu Train tour or any Trek for the complete Cusco experience!

Minimum passengers necessary for tour departure: 2 people (small group, 1 person or private/custom treks possible with extra fee). Maximum trekkers per group: 10 people (special, private party groups can exceed the maximum).

Description:

How does escaping the city and large crowds to visit a unique, off-the-beaten-path site sound? The Waqrapukara One-Day Trek is the ultimate choice for peace and quiet and to discover an incredible site that few locals and tourists visit.

Join us on an epic hike to the majestic pre-Inca construction of Waqrapukara, or Fortress of Horns, in the mighty Apurímac Canyon. This beautiful sacred place combines advanced architecture and impressive natural formations in an awe-inspiring landscape—almost like something from a dream—surrounded by small crystalline lagoons. The gigantic horns rise as high as 4,140 m / 13,583 ft.

Full itinerary:

Day 01: Cusco | Chuquicahuana – Acomayo – Waqrapukara – Cusco

Your one-day adventure will start bright and early, as our private transportation will pick you up from your accommodation at 4:00 am. We’ll then depart for a two-and-a-half-hour drive to the town of Marcaconga, where we’ll continue to Pitumarca district for our tasty breakfast. Once we’re full and ready to go, we have a final thirty minutes of driving along an unpaved, zig-zagging road to get to our hike’s starting point. You’ll have some time to get your things together before we set off. The first stretch is two-and-a-half hours long, and you can observe magnificent landscapes studded with small glacial lakes along the way. When we reach the Waqrapukara viewpoint, you can rest a little and take your first photos of the impressive fortress on the edge of a canyon. Next, we’ll descend for about forty minutes along a steep path towards the site while the Apurimac River flows rapidly downwards. You’ll get to explore the archaeological site for about an hour and a half, climbing through the temple’s remains and taking photos of the incredible canyon landscape. The fantastic scenery will take your breath away. Finally, when the group is ready, we’ll begin the ascent back the way we came.

We also hike to the Red Valley Pass (weather/time permitting) to see the deep red hues of the mountains on the other side of Vinicunca—a stunning example of mother nature at her finest!

The Rainbow Mountains are composed of stratified layers of sandstone. These fine-grained rock layers contain large amounts of iron and other minerals, which give the mountains the pigments for the various colored stripes. This is a moderate to challenging day hike, with a steep climb to the high pass, and is subject to unpredictable weather. This trail is very popular and crowded and has suffered from much erosion. It is not safe to hike in heavy rain. We recommend a longer multi-day trek to truly appreciate this region. It is essential to be properly acclimatized for this hike, spending at least two or three days in Cusco (or equivalent altitude) before starting.

A less strenuous day hike to another section of the Rainbow Mountains (Palcoyo) is the Three Rainbow Mountains Palcoyo Day Tour, suitable for all fitness levels. Another gorgeous day hike is the Lake Humantay One Day Hike.

Minimum passengers for tour departure: 2 people (small group, one person, or private/custom treks are possible with an extra fee). Maximum trekkers per group: 10 people (special, private party groups can exceed the maximum).

Full itinerary:

DAY 01: CUSCO – ALQATARI – RAINBOW MOUNTAIN – RED VALLEY PASS – ALQATARI – CUSCO

We will pick you up very early from your Cusco hotel (3:00 am) and drive through the South Valley. The drive to the trailhead at Alqatari (4326m/14,189ft) is about 3.5-4 hours. Once we reach the trailhead, we will have our box breakfast with hot drinks. After breakfast, we start our day hike, following a lovely stream until we get to the checkpoint, which is the trail entrance. You will pass by beautiful herds of alpacas and llamas, and along the way, we will have distant views of the Ausangate Mountain. We will hike through villages and see the residents. If we are very lucky, we may see some chinchillas and vicuñas. Vicuñas are the only non-domesticated animal of the llama family in Peru and are very skittish. After an uphill hike of approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, we reach the incredible Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain (5050m/16,568ft). After taking pictures, you have approximately 45 minutes to explore the area (depending on walking speed) and enjoy the stunning views. If we have time and weather permits, once we are done enjoying the scenery, having snacks, resting, and taking pictures, we hike along the right side of Rainbow Mountain to the Red Valley pass, where you will see the beautiful, deep red hues located in this area. We take pictures here and then hike back down the way we came, taking approximately 1.5 hours to the trailhead where we started. Here, we will have a box lunch and take our private transport back to your hotel in Cusco (about a 3.5-4-hour drive).

Description:

The TIPON, PIKILLAQTA, ANDAHUAYLILLAS TOUR explores three beautiful sites south of Cusco.
It is a wonderful way to begin acclimatizing to the high altitude of Cusco and get ready for a trek if you have booked one. This tour is south of Cusco and off the beaten path so you won’t run into many tourists on this one. TIPON has numerous impressive terraces that are still being cultivated today. Amazingly the irrigation system that the Inca’s built is still serving agricultural areas nearby. It consists of carved stone channels, precisely calculated, constituting a hydraulic engineering masterpiece. PIKILLAQTA is a massive pre-Inca ruin site that consists of more than 700 structures: 200 Kanchas (departments), 504 qolqas (storage rooms) and multiple other buildings that could have housed about ten thousand people. The city was displayed in a harmonious and symmetric way, in blocks with straight streets. The walls were made of mud and stones, wide at the bottom and tapering towards the top. In the early 1990’s, these walls were covered with mud 9cm thick, that were then painted with plaster. The floors were also made with a kind of thick plaster which would have displayed the appearance of a white city. ANDAHUAYLILLAS has a stunning church called San Pedro de Andahuaylillas, also known as “The Sistine Chapel of America” due to the quality of its art pieces. Built at the beginning of VII century, the interior of the temple is decorated with murals by Luis Riaño (XVII century). Additionally, the church houses a majestic piano, numerous canvases by the Academy of Cusco, silver work and baroque altars.

Minimum passengers necessary for tour departure: 2 people (small group, 1 person or private/custom treks possible with extra fee). Maximum trekkers per group: 10 people (special, private party groups can exceed maximum).

Full itinerary:

Day 1:

Your guide will explain the incredible mastery the Incas had over irrigation and construction and the history, architecture and local traditions of each site visited. Next we drive to Pikillaqta where you can explore this massive, geometric city, the use of which is still speculated about today. Finally we drive to Andahuaylillas where we will see beautiful colonial architecture and the main attraction, San Pedro de Andahuaylillas Church (aka Sistine Chapel of America), with all of its incredible art.

Description:

The MACHU PICCHU TRAIN TOUR is a must for those who don’t want to trek or have limited time but still want to explore one of the 7 man-made wonders of the world!
This tour is best enjoyed in 2 days with an overnight in Aguas Calientes, the town below Machu Picchu. Though it can be completed in one ambitious day, it makes for a very long day with limited time in Machu Picchu at the most crowded time. The 2D/1N Machu Picchu Train tour is best combined with a tour of the Sacred Valley of the Incas in the morning of the first day.

Machu Picchu (7874 ft/2400 m) is at a lower altitude than Cusco (11,152 ft/3399 m), though we do still recommend a day in Cusco prior to departing on the tour in order to rest up from your travels, adjust to jet lag and the altitude. Despite being lower than Cusco, it is still considered high altitude. Minimum passengers necessary for tour departure: 2 people (small group, 1 person or private/custom treks possible with extra fee). Maximum trekkers per group: 10 people (special, private party groups can exceed maximum).

Full itinerary:

DAY 1: CUSCO – OLLANTAYTAMBO – AGUAS CALIENTES – MACHU PICCHU – CUSCO

For the one day tour we book the vistadome train to Machu Picchu (unless fully booked). This trip departs at approximately 4:00am via private transport from your Cusco hotel. The journey (via car, train and bus) to Machu Picchu takes around 4.5 hours. Once you have arrived at the entrance to the ruin site, you will explore Machu Picchu via a guided tour. Once your tour is over you will take the bus, train and private transport back to your hotel in Cusco, arriving around 7:30-8:30 pm, depending on the train time booked. Compared to the backpacker the Vistadome train is faster, has snack-service, bigger windows and is generally a more comfortable experience.

Description:

The SALKANTAY TREK is a 5 day/4 night trek through diverse landscapes culminating in a tour of the magical city of Machu Picchu on the 5th day.
This trek boasts spectacular views of snow-capped mountains, glaciers, turquoise lakes, Andean plateaus, waterfalls, and high jungle. It even includes an original Inca trail to a small Inca ruin and a distant view of Machu Picchu, before reaching the famed city itself. This trek is approximately 60 km/37 miles and goes up to 4,600 m/15,092 ft. This is the second most popular trek in the Cusco Region (after the Inca Trail) so it is fairly crowded.

This iconic trek can be combined with the Classic Inca Trail or the Short 2 Day Inca Trail for a truly epic 6 Day adventure (Salkantay & Classic Inca Trail Trek)! Minimum passengers necessary for trek departure: 2 people (1 person or private/custom treks possible with extra fee). Maximum trekkers per group: 10 people (special, private party groups can exceed maximum).

Full itinerary:

DAY 1: CUSCO – SALKANTAYPAMPA

Private transport will collect you from your Cusco hotel for a departure time of approximately 6:00am to Mollepata 2900 m/9,500 ft, where we have breakfast in a local restaurant. After breakfast we continue on a beautiful scenic journey through the Limatambo Valley, with stops for panoramic views of the “Apu or Mountain Salkantay.” One can see awesome chains of magnificent snow capped mountains and the lush Apurimac River Valley. After we arrive at the trailhead called Sayllapata 3,500 m/11,480 ft. we meet our Arrieros “horsemen” and trekking staff, (cook and assistants). You will need to apply insect repellent for the start of the trek to lunch. We will trek for about 3 hours before lunch through traditional Andean communities such as Challacancha and Soraypampa where we stop for lunch. We will continue walking for approximately 2 hours through small Andean villages to Salkantaypampa 4,000 m/13,120 ft, at the base of Salkantay Mountain, our first campsite.

Walking distance approximately 12 km/7.5 miles (5 hours)
Campsite Elevation: 4,000 m/13,120 ft
Meals: box breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks on the trail, boiled water at lunch and camp
Overnight: Mountain Hardwear Tent (double occupancy)

DAY 2: SALKANTAYPAMPA – CHAULLAY

After an early breakfast we start trekking at approximately 7:00am ascending for 3 hours to the Apacheta pass 4,600 m/15,090 ft. From this point we can enjoy a spectacular view of the Mountain Salkantay, a stunning snow capped mountain (6,264 m/20,500 ft) and the second highest peak in Cusco’s region. We will also see the snow capped mountains Humantay (5,850 m/ 19,192 ft) and Pumasillo (5,800 m/ 19,028 ft), as well as the Salkantay river, small lakes and moraines (terminal point of glaciers). After enjoying the view at the pass we will continue 2 hours downhill to our lunch camp in Huayracpunku (3,800 m/12,467 ft). After lunch we walk 3 more hours downhill and you will notice the marked change in scenery along the way from Andean plateau to high jungle where the landscape is warmer, more humid, and quite lush. As we enter the high jungle you will need to apply insect repellent. We end our 3 hour hike at our campsite Chaullay (2,920 m/9,580 ft). Because this campsite is at lower elevation it will be warmer at night here.

Walking distance approximately 19 km/11.8 miles (9 hours)
Campsite Elevation: 2,920 m/9,580 ft
Meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks on the trail, boiled water at breakfast, lunch and camp

DAY 3: CHAULLAY – LA PLAYA

After breakfast you will be given snacks and cooled, boiled water for your bottles and you will need to apply insect repellent and continue to reapply the repellent throughout the day. It will usually be warm out in this location so you can hike in shorts if you like. We start at 7:00am with an easy 6 hour hike through the Totora Valley which is part of the high jungle or Ceja de Selva. We will see a wide variety of plants including different fruit, flowers, birds and other various crops (e.g. coca, coffee, avocado, and bananas). Along this trail we will pass a beautiful waterfall and several streams. With luck we can observe the famous Peruvian national bird, “Gallito de las Rocas.” We continue hiking straight to our campsite at La Playa (2,350 m/7,612 ft) where we will enjoy lunch and some time to rest before having happy hour and dinner later in the evening. At this campsite you will be able to take a cold shower if you wish and can also purchase various drinks, avocados, grenadines, and other snacks and fruit.

DAY 4: LA PLAYA – AGUAS CALIENTES

After breakfast, around 7:00am we begin our trek to the village Lucmabamba where we will see the remains of an original Inca trail. We are fortunate enough to trek on this rising trail along which we will see plantations of coffee, banana, passion fruit, avocado, and we will have a lovely view of the lush Santa Teresa Valley. We follow the Inca trail climbing up for 3 hours to Llactapata (2,700 m/8,858 ft) an Inca ruin. From here we can see Machu Picchu from a distance and enjoy some free time to rest, use the restroom (1 sol), and buy drinks or snacks if you wish. After visiting Llactapata we walk 2 hours downhill to the hydroelectric plant 1,870 m/6,135 ft and have lunch in a local restaurant near the hydroelectric train. At 4:45pm we will take the 45 minute train journey to Aguas Calientes, the town below Machu Picchu (2,000 m/6,561 ft). Once in town you will be taken to a hotel for the night to have a hot shower, put your stuff down, and you can visit the local hot springs (open until 9pm, 10 soles per person, bring your own towel and sandals) if you wish before or after our dinner in a local restaurant.
Walking distance approximately 15 km/9.3 miles (5 hours)
Meals: breakfast, lunch, and snacks on the trail, boiled water at breakfast, lunch, and dinner at a hotel in Aguas Calientes
Overnight: Comfortable hotel room in Aguas Calientes (double occupancy)

DAY 5: AGUAS CALIENTES – MACHU PICCHU – OLLANTAYTAMBO – CUSCO

Wake up call and breakfast is very early (Approx 4am) in order for us to take one of the first (5:30am, 25 min ride) buses directly to Machu Picchu (2,400 m/7,875 ft). Once we arrive at Machu Picchu you will show your entrance ticket and passport. If you are a student you must bring your ISIC card to the entrance or you will not be permitted entrance. From the entrance, it is a 15-minute walk to the famous views from the South Zone of the farming terraces at the end of the Inca trail. Enjoy watching the sun rise over the ruin site and the fascinating tour of Machu Picchu with your guide who will unfold the mysteries of this magical site, explaining the history and flora/fauna. Your guide will spend about 2 1/2 hours relating interesting and amazing stories, explaining temples and special sectors. Your tour of Machu Picchu will finish between 9 and 9:30am after which you will have a little free time to take photos and explore. The new rules for 2019 have split the entrance times into three slots per day. Our tour includes the first ticket (6-10am) so at 10am you would need to exit the ruin site unless you choose to purchase an extra time slot (or two). If you wish to do one of the extra hikes within Machu Picchu (Wayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain) you would need to prepurchase a permit as well as an extra time slot in Machu Picchu (these new rules are dictated by the Peruvian government and we are sorry for the inconvenience). After you are done exploring the ruin site, either at 10am or later if you’ve booked more time, take one of the many, frequent buses down to Aguas Calientes. There are many restaurants to choose from and your guide can also help suggest a nice place to eat. After grabbing a bite to eat you will take the train back to Ollantaytambo where private transport will drive you back to your hotel in Cusco.
Meals: Breakfast in the hotel, snacks on the tour

Overnight: Not Included
Helpful Info:

There are no bathrooms in the ruin site. There are bathrooms right outside the entrance, cost is 1 sol per entrance, and they provide a little toilet paper. If you leave close to the time your ticket expires it is likely they will not permit re-entry.
You are allowed to take in a small backpack (under 20L)
They are no longer allowing box lunches to be brought into the ruin site. We recommend bringing extra snacks (we provide snacks too) or going down to Aguas Calientes for lunch and returning depending on how much time you’ve booked in Machu Picchu
They no longer allow plastic water bottles so please come prepared with water bladders/reusable water bottle(s)
Please do not climb on or deface the rocks or leave trash/debris of any kind.
Our recommendation is to add one extra time slot to allow for more time in the Ruin Site (with or without an extra hike).
Machu Picchu Entrance Times: in 2019 they changed to 3 time slots with only 2800 people allowed to enter Machu Picchu each day (down from 4000 in 2018)

First Entrance: 6am to 10am
Second Entrance: 9am to 1pm
Third Entrance: 12pm to closing
Note: there will potentially be 4-5 entrance times in future years
Due to COVID19 – current capacity in Machu Picchu is has been varying based on outbreak numbers. Expect reduced capacity in 2021, extra hike closures, and difficulty obtaining time slots – we recommend booking early

HIKES WITHIN MACHU PICCHU

There are hikes within Machu Picchu that you can do on your own if you wish. The hikes that historically have not required an entrance ticket are: The Inka bridge and the Sun Gate (where the Inka Trail ends with a view of Machu Picchu city), although these may become subject to permits and charges in 2021. Further, all permitted hikes are subject to closure due to weather, erosion, pandemic/epidemic, etc., and is outside our control as this is regulated by the Peruvian Government.

Wayna Picchu Mountain and Machu Picchu Mountain hikes both require a paid ticket and there are a limited number of spots (200 at 7am and 200 at 10am). If you want to hike one of these please let us know well in advance as these spots fill up very quickly. Please note we cannot guarantee you a spot for the mountains requiring tickets and that the Wayna Picchu trail is very steep and slippery and not for those afraid of heights or with vertigo).

We recommend the 10am time slot as Machu Picchu tends to be cloudy in the morning. You are only allowed to hike one of these mountains on a given day so if you would like to do both you would need to return the next day to hike the other one.

Extra hikes are affected by the time slots meaning you can:

Stick with one entrance ticket to Machu Picchu (6am entrance time) that we include in the cost of our trips and go on the extra hike starting at 7am. This means you would miss the guided tour of Machu Picchu unless we customized your trip and added an extra time slot later.
Book an extra entrance ticket (second time slot) along with the extra hike to enter Machu Picchu at 6am, have the guided tour first and some free time and then stay for the extra hike at 9 or 10am and depart after the hike.
General Info about the Extra Hikes and Machu Picchu:

You can only hike one of the extra hikes per day – these are Peruvian Government rules. If you wish to hike both you would need to stay overnight and return to Machu Picchu the next day to hike the second one. We can help arrange this.
The hikes are permitted and require a paid ticket that is linked to your passport info
There are 200 slots at 7am for Machu Picchu Mountain and 200 slots at 7am for Wayna Picchu and 200 slots at 9am for Machu Picchu Mountain and 200 slots at 10am for Wayna Picchu Mountain.
If you want to hike both you need to return the following day to complete the second one.
A guide is required to enter Machu Picchu with you but would not go on the extra hike with you unless you specifically request that.
In 2019 they are no longer allowing box lunches to be brought into Machu Picchu so please plan accordingly with plenty of snacks (beyond the ones we provide if you feel you’ll need them).
In 2019 they are no longer allowing plastic water bottles so come prepared with reusable water bottle(s).
