Welcome to Cusco, the historic capital of the Inca Empire and one of the most iconic cities in the world. We will be waiting for your arrival at the Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport and will escort you to your hotel in the Sacred Valley. On the way to the Sacred Valley, you will enjoy a visit to Awanacancha and the Archeological Site of Pisac.

On this day, you will experience the Ayahuasca Ceremony in the tranquility of the mystical Sacred Valley. The Ayahuasca drink is an ancestral medicine from the Peruvian Amazon. It is a mixture of two sacred plants, with the effects of consciousness modification once drunk. This ancestral medicine can lead us to heal wounds or traumas from this life or others. The plant will decide if it is your time, and in the company of the Shaman, you can make an introspective journey in a safe space that will allow you to heal. Science has proven that drinking this ancestral brew opens new neurological connections in our brains, allowing us to lead our lives in a different way than usual in the future with a renewed vision of our different aspects as humans.

You will have a free day in the Sacred Valley to discover the magnificent natural landscapes and taste local and Peruvian food in the restaurants in the Sacred Valley.

After an early breakfast at your hotel in the Sacred Valley, a Gotoperu representative will pick you up to start your Sacred Valley tour. The first stop will be the City of Pisac, a small town with exquisite architecture that is the perfect place to buy authentic Andean souvenirs – most commonly known as artesanias. As you browse through the selection of traditional clothing and handicrafts, you'll easily understand why the Pisac market has a reputation of its own. In the afternoon, you will visit Ollantaytambo, which is an Inca site that began as a palace or fortress but was eventually used as the last Inca stronghold against the invading Spanish conquistadors. After an exciting day of archaeological exploration, you will board the train to Machu Picchu town – known as Aguas Calientes – at the Ollantaytambo train station. Upon your arrival in Aguas Calientes, a representative of Gotoperu will be waiting for you at the Aguas Calientes train station to take you to your hotel.

¡The main day of your trip! Be ready to visit the Citadel of Machu Picchu. Our representative will pick you up from your hotel to escort you to the Aguas Calientes Bus Station for a 30-minute bus ride to the Citadel of Machu Picchu, where you will have a private guided tour of the citadel. During your tour, you will be able to visit historical places located in the Citadel of Machu Picchu, like the Sun Stone, Sun Temple, and the Room of the Three Windows. After your tour finishes, you will have some free time to explore Aguas Calientes, buy some local artesanias, and enjoy an amazing view of Machu Picchu town. Late in the afternoon, you will board the train from Aguas Calientes Train Station to Ollantaytambo Train Station, where a vehicle will be ready to take you back to your hotel in Cusco.

You will have the morning free to take a short walk and take some photos around the Historical Center of the city before your half-day city tour begins. In the afternoon, you will enjoy a guided City Tour of Cusco and the surrounding archaeological sites, such as Qorikancha temple – most known as the Temple of the Sun and Sacsayhuaman Fortress – a place that served for the Inti Raymi to take place.
