Short Machu Picchu Tour – Trip itinerary

Day 1 – Airport/dock pick-up, flight Lima-Cusco, Cusco city tour

This morning you´ll have a private transfer to the Lima airport, and then a short flight brings you to the famous Inca city of Cuzco. After checking into your hotel, we set out to explore the incredible capital of the Inca Empire. We head to the picturesque Plaza de Armas and its two cathedrals to see the colonial influence in the city. We can admire the stunning architecture of the church and also the native influences subtly woven into the artwork. Afterwards, we go to Coricancha church, where colonial and Incan architectures are on display side-by-side directly contrasted with each other. Then you´ll get a taste of indigenous Cuzco by visiting the San Pedro central market, where we can see local products and handicrafts and try exotic foods and fruits. Afterwards we make our way above the city to the imposing fortress of Sacsayhuaman where we can marvel at the incredible stonework and architecture of the Inca civilization. We head back to Cuzco in the late afternoon. Overnight in Cuzco or overnight in the Sacred Valley if you are concerned about the altitude (the Sacred Valley is 645m – 2,000ft – lower than Cuzco). We are happy to add this to your itinerary.

Day 2 – Train to Machu Picchu, private tour, free time at site

A beautiful early morning train journey takes us across the high plain above Cusco then down the Urubamba Valley to majestic Machu Picchu. Known as one of the greatest architectural achievements in history, this historic sanctuary is considered one of the seven man-made wonders of the world. After a guided tour, take time for independent exploration of this magnificent site. Return train to Cuzco in the evening. Overnight in Cuzco.

Day 3 – Flight to Lima, transfer included if necessary

Return flight to Lima. Let us know if you have a preference for what time of day you’d like your flight to depart. If possible, it’s always nice to have a bit of extra time in magnificent Cuzco and return to Lima in the afternoon. Private transfer back to Port Callao to catch your cruise, to Lima or depart on your international flight.

Pre-trip planner

Climate

Rain is possible at any time of year, especially in high mountains and cloud forest therefore one should always be prepared. The climate in sites we will visit is as follows: Cusco: days are warm if sunny, slightly chilly if cloudy. Nights are cold in Cusco. Machu Picchu: similar to Cusco, but warmer and with more chance of rain. Lima: warm to hot days, cool evenings, almost never any rain.

Required immunizations

No immunizations are required of travelers to these areas of Peru. Travelers may wish to receive hepatitis vaccinations and should be current on all other standard vaccinations. No areas visited on this trip are malaria or yellow fever zones. Please consult your physician or local health department for more information.

Money guide

The unit of currency in Peru is the nuevo sol. Automatic cash points are available in Lima and Cuzco. Visa, MasterCard, Plus, and Cirrus are the most common usable types of cards. Traveler’s checks are difficult to cash (American Express is best, but you may be charged 5-8% to cash) or a Visa or MasterCard for cash advances are also options. Do not bring Money Grams or International Money Orders, as they are extremely difficult to exchange. Banks and exchange houses are available in Lima and Cuzco. For currency, U.S. dollars are recommended and most easily exchanged. Please note that cash must be untorn. It can be older looking, but even the slightest tear on an edge will make it unchangeable. Acceptable bills come out of the ATMs in country. Expect to spend about US$5-12 on a delicious meal, US$2 on a beer, water or soft drink in Peru. Artisan market prices are usually lower than people expect. Alpaca sweaters, for example, run between $5 and $30. Currency Converter

The best trip ever! I can only describe it as magical. I had no idea I would fall I love with Peru. Much more than expected. Wonderful guides and accommodations. Would love to go back.
