DAY 1: ARRIVE IN CUSCO AND ENTERING THE SACRED VALLEY This tour of Peru starts as it means to go on, landing in Cusco (home to some of Peru’s finest architecture and archaeology), before heading deep into the Sacred Valley accompanied by a private guide.

Upon arrival then, you’ll be met at Cusco airport to begin your onward journey to Tambo del Inka, a beautifully Sacred Valley hotel that also enjoys a spectacular riverside setting too. This is an ideal setting to acclimatize yourself for Machu Picchu, in two days’ time.

DAY 2: EXPLORE THE SACRED VALLEY Day 2 delves deep into Inca history with some of the Sacred Valley’s greatest sites, beginning with a look at traditional life in Chinchero village, where a weaving demonstration will take place after breakfast.

Next comes the agricultural terraces of Moray, one of the most impressive ancient sites in Peru. These stepped platforms are in fact an Inca food laboratory, where each terrace replicated weather conditions throughout the empire.

From Moray, enjoy lunch in the Sacred Valley followed by another ancient marvel—the Maras Salt Mines. These spectacular hillside salt pools have not changed since Inca times, and are still used to this day. Finally, the huge monuments, fortress and terraces of Ollantaytambo are the perfect end to a wonderful day. Machu Picchu
