Cusco welcomes you with cobblestone streets, living history, and pure Andean air. You will be picked up at the airport and transferred to your hotel, taking in your first glimpse of this UNESCO World Heritage city. It’s the perfect starting point for exploring Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, and ancient traditions that remain alive in every corner. We recommend resting and acclimatizing to make the most of your journey.

This tour blends the charm of Cusco’s historic center with the grandeur of its Inca heritage. Start at the Cathedral and Qoricancha Temple, then visit four amazing archaeological sites: Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay. Experience breathtaking landscapes, massive stonework, and a living connection to ancient civilization. A perfect introduction to the spiritual and architectural heart of the Andes.

Visit the highlights of the Sacred Valley, including Pisac’s ruins and market, and the fortress of Ollantaytambo. Then board a scenic train to Aguas Calientes, gateway to Machu Picchu. This immersive day tour blends Inca history, vibrant traditions, and breathtaking landscapes. Spend the night in Aguas Calientes, setting the perfect pace for an early start to explore one of the world’s most iconic archaeological sites. Ideal for travelers seeking culture, comfort, and adventure.

Take the bus to the Inca citadel and embark on a guided tour through Machu Picchu’s iconic temples, terraces, and sacred corners. Learn about its historical significance while enjoying stunning views. After the visit, return to Aguas Calientes and spend some free time. Then board the train back and continue to Cusco. This full-day experience blends history, culture, and nature into one unforgettable adventure through one of Peru’s most treasured landmarks.

The journey to Iquitos begins in the sky, where the flight offers a breathtaking view of the endless Amazon rainforest. Arrival in the city opens the door to a fascinating environment, surrounded by the Amazon River and its tributaries. Bustling streets, historic architecture, and tropical atmosphere set the tone. Iquitos is not only the starting point for jungle exploration but also a vibrant destination that reveals the cultural and natural essence of Peru’s Amazonian heart.
