A Tierras Vivas representative will meet you at Cusco airport and transfer you to your hotel. You have a choice to accommodation.
The Monasterio Hotel Cusco or the Arwana Boutique hotel. It is important to take it easy the first day as your body need to acclimatize to the higher altitude. Drinking coca tea really does help with altitude adjustment. It is not a myth and has been used for thousands of years in this area, long before the Incan era. Both these hotels offer complimentary oxygen pumped into your room if requested for a rapid acclimatization of altitude.
Tour of the Sacred Valley. We travel to a lesser altitude here. Due to its climate and fertile soil, the Sacred Valley was and is a major agricultural producer for Cusco and surrounding areas. Pick up at your hotel with a private car and driver for your day of discovery in the Sacred Valley. There is a guided tour of Pisac Inca city and then a visit to the famous, traditional, handicraft markets in Pisac. After that we head to Urubamba for lunch in one of the lovely restaurants. Then we continue to the huge fortress ruins of Ollantaytambo. This major ruin is known for the best surviving example of Inca structural planning and engineering. It is admired for its huge steep terraces guarding the Incan fortress and being one of a couple of places where the Spanish lost a major battle during their conquest. In the afternoon we start retuning to Urubamba, spend a night.
Pick up from hotel in private car and taken to Ollantaytambo Train Station (20 minutes from Urubamba). Board the Vistadome Train for your one and half hour trip to Agua Calientes (Machu Picchu pueblo). Pick up from train station by a hotel representative. This begins another major highlight in your Machu Picchu honeymoon.
Transfer to the Sanctuary Lodge Hotel (the only hotel aside the ruins) or the beautiful boutique Inti Inn. The rest of your day is free to relax or wander the village, take a hot spring dip, walk to the waterfall or eat some great local cuisine.
Second day: Early breakfast then up at sunrise to enter the Machu Picchu ruins. The light at dawn on Machu Picchu is magical and perfect for once in a lifetime photograph. This antique citadel is a very popular worldwide tourist attraction and the most famous Inca’s architectural work without any doubt. It is located 122km from Cusco. The altitude is 2,430 meters above sea level. It is close to the Urubamba River, in the midst of lush sub-tropical cloud forest. The majestic beauty of the natural landscape surrounding this sanctuary as well as the archeological value of the ruins have contributed to make Machu Picchu one of the most appreciated and frequently visited place of the both Americas. UNESCO recognized the importance of Machu Picchu and ranked it as a Natural and cultural Heritage of Humanity in 1983.
Machu Picchu is a perfectly planned center and is one of the finest examples of Incan architecture. It’s original builders knew very well how to perfectly combine its construction with the exceptional natural environment that surrounds and protects it, even now.
Free Day in Cusco. Cusco is a colorful, vibrant small city with many remaining foundations Inca buildings, temples, walls as well as a strong Spanish colonial influence in the architecture. Andean people are friendly, warm hearted people who love to celebrate everything in life. You may feel like you have moved back in time, as the colorful clothes, textiles, art and music create an magical aura of the past merging into the present. Yes wifi works fast here too!
There are several massive ruins very near Cusco and some fascinating areas in Cusco. Sachaywaman is a huge Incan fortress. The walls are made up of huge and impressive stones weighing up to 130 tons. These stones fit together so perfectly you cannot put a razor blade between them. They have been fashioned to withstand earthquakes and almost anything including the destruction by the Spanish Conquistadors. Three of these walls run parallel to over 360 meters.
Q’enko is an Incan labyrinth and a ceremonial site. Tambomachay is a water Temple, Puca Pucara is a fortress made of a different red stone.
When the Spanish invaded they built most of the churches on to of Incan Temples and sacred places. Qoricancha is one of those Temples. The Santa Domingo Church stands together with the walls of Ooricancha, once totally covered in gold plating. As history tells us thousands of tons of gold were scavenged and taken from the Incans by the Spanish and shipped back to Spain for the King and Royalty.
Departure Day - Transfer to Cusco airport, flight to Lima then International Flight home. Or time to extend you trip in Peru.
Most of travelers use a suitcase. However, a big backpack would be more suitable. In any case, please do not forget a small rucksack that you will need for daily travels (to carry your bottled water, camera, snacks, etc.). It is better to avoid a wheeled luggage and use luggage with shoulder straps.
If you plan to visit Peruvian mountains (Andean mountain range or Altiplano), then we recommend you to take some trousers suitable for hiking, shorts, T-shirts and trekking shoes for the days; and sweaters, fleeces, hats, scarves and warm jackets for the nights. You also should take a sun protection cream, sun glasses and in some cases, mosquito repellent (depending on a route chosen). It is very convenient to have a light rain-gear available in a daypack (e.g. a waterproof poncho or jacket and/or waterproof trousers) as weather changes quickly and rains can suddenly occur. For more details, please check the below link of “What to Bring”.
