Upon arrival at Cusco Airport, our representative will welcome you and transfer you to your hotel. Cusco is located at approximately 3,400 meters above sea level, so we recommend taking the morning to rest, hydrate, and acclimatize before starting your first tour.
In the afternoon, your Cusco City Tour begins at around 1:30 p.m. You will visit the most important historical and archaeological sites in and around the city, starting with the Cusco Cathedral, one of the most impressive colonial temples in Peru.
Then, you will continue to Qorikancha, also known as the Temple of the Sun, one of the most sacred temples of the Inca Empire. Afterward, you will visit Sacsayhuaman, famous for its massive stone walls and panoramic views of Cusco. The tour continues to Qenqo, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay, important archaeological sites related to Inca ceremonies, military control, and water worship.
At the end of the tour, you will return to Cusco. The evening is free to enjoy dinner on your own.

Upon arrival in Aguas Calientes, our representative will meet you and assist you with the bus ride to the entrance of Machu Picchu. The bus ride takes approximately 30 minutes.

The original package mentions Machu Picchu entrance with Circuit 2 subject to availability.
