Peru Luxury Travel

There is an unbridgeable gap between mere hearsay about the magic of Cuzco and the actual experience of it: as the center of the Inca Empire which included present day Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina and Bolivia, its millenary architecture reflects the power of that empire and the Spanish empire that usurped it. Home to the Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu (one of the New World Wonders),this tour is perfect for those seeking to combine the excitement of new adventures and also find maximum comfort to relax from the pressures of daily life. The result: a tour designed to show you some of the world’s most amazing places, while ensuring that you receive the best service possible.

TRIP STYLE

PHYSICAL DIFFICULTY

Day 1: Arrive Cuzco/ Sacred Valley Tour

• Arrive in Cuzco after a short flight from Lima (just over 1 hour)
• You will be taken on a private tour through the Sacred Valley of the Incas to see their awe-inspiring stone structures, which echo the past to this day. These remain important archeological sites for researchers and still circumvent the lands used by the locals for agriculture.
• Tonight, you can try some of the culinary specialties of the region before a peaceful night’s rest.

Day 2: Train to Machu Picchu/ Machu Picchu Tour/ Train to Cuzco

• Today, after breakfast, you will take the train to Machu Picchu, where you will witness first-hand the majestic ruins of the Inca citadel. After passing through the main entrance to the ruins you come across the numerous buildings with intricate designs and very complex stone masonry.
• Climbing up a stone pathway, you reach a building called the Watchman's Hut with a wonderfully impressive view over the ruins and Huayna Picchu towering behind it.
• At the far end of the ruins, close to Huayna Picchu, is the Sacred Rock. From the Royal Sector you can look straight towards the principle baths and the Temple of the Sun. From overwhelmingly crafted terraces to artistically constructed temples and buildings, the list goes on and on.
• You will take the first-class train to Cuzco where you will spend the night at the world-renowned Monasterio hotel (deluxe) or the beautiful Novotel hotel (boutique).

Day 3: Cuzco City & Ruins Tour

• Today you finally get the chance to explore the magical city of Cuzco and its environs, where many wonders await.
• You will tour the city and visit some of the nearby sites: the baroquely-inspired Cathedral symbolising the explosion of Christianity into the Andean world; the dense and colorful local market; and the many delicious restaurants and bars enjoyed by locals and visitors alike!
• You will visit the jaw-dropping ruins of Sacsayhuaman, where gigantic structures of rock were conjoined in perfect symmetry. This ruin is an imposing example of Incan military architecture – a fortress built from massive slabs of granite to safeguard the city from possible attacks by the Antis, an invading force from the East.
• At Tambo Machay, you will be able to decide for yourself the original purpose of this structure: theories include a resting place for the Inca, a hunting ground, or the site of a water cult. The ruins consist of a number of fountains and a large ceremonial stone bath known as the Bath of the Inca.

Day 4: Tour Ends in Cuzco

• You will be taken to the airport for your return flight.

• 1 nights in the Sacred Valley, 2 nights in Cuzco
• All tours stated in the itinerary are private
• Guided visits with private English speaking tour guides
• All private transfers and entrance fees
• Round- trip on the Vistadome Train first-class
• All breakfasts
• First-class accommodations based on US-standards
