3-Day Tour Package Itinerary: Cusco & Machu Picchu
Day 1: Arrival in Cusco
Upon landing at the Cusco Airport, a guide will greet you and introduce you to this historic Incan capital. You will then proceed to your hotel located in the heart of the city. After checking in, your journey begins with a guided exploration of Cusco, allowing you to delve into the region's rich pre-Columbian and colonial legacies. You will visit significant sites from the city’s past, including Coricancha, known as "The Golden Courtyard," which served as the principal temple during the reign of the Inca Empire.
Your tour continues at the Plaza de Armas and the Cusco Cathedral, where you can appreciate the local artwork and sculptures housed within the Spanish colonial edifices. Moving beyond the bustling city center, you'll discover the archaeological site of Sacsayhuaman, renowned for its impressive stone constructions predating the Inca Empire. Additional explorations will include the remnants of the Puka Pukara military stronghold, Qenko, one of the largest sacred sites in the Cusco area, and Tambomachay, potentially a religious site dedicated to water.
Later, enjoy a break around 6:30 pm for dinner before returning to your accommodation.
Day 2: Journey to Machu Picchu
After enjoying breakfast at your Cusco hotel, you will embark on an unforgettable adventure to one of Peru's most iconic locations. Your journey commences with a bus ride, followed by a train trip through the breathtaking scenery of the Sacred Valley, leading you to the town of Aguas Calientes. From there, a bus ride up the winding mountain road takes you to the peak, where a brief walk will lead you to the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu Inca citadel.
Once there, take your time exploring this historic wonder. Amble through narrow pathways surrounded by ancient stone structures and religious temples, perched at a stunning altitude of over 2,400 meters (approximately 8,000 feet). It's easy to see why Machu Picchu is revered as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, and the captivating charm of this storied site will leave a lasting impression.
Following a two-and-a-half hour guided tour, you will have additional opportunity for photography before departing from this incredible site. The return journey takes you back down to Aguas Calientes, where you can enjoy dinner at your leisure.
