Private Day Trips from Cusco
Optimize your visit to Cusco by delving into its remarkable surroundings alongside a knowledgeable guide. Our private tours last from 5 to 14 hours, ensuring a flexible and engaging experience. Each adventure includes hotel pickups, private vehicle transportation, and a guide fluent in English. Below are the specifics of each trip:
Moray Ruins & Maras Salt Mines Tour (5 hours)
This excursion begins at the archaeological site of Moray. At an altitude nearing 3,500 metres (approximately 11,500 feet), we'll explore the intriguing circular terraces and learn about this significant Incan agricultural hub.
Following our visit, we will proceed to the salt mines of Maras, which have dramatically altered the Andean landscape. This journey shares a parallel with our group Moray Ruins & Maras Salt Mines Tour.
Humantay Lake (14 hours)
This adventure takes you to the beautiful Humantay Lake nestled in the Andes. After a reviving breakfast in Mollepata, we ascend toward the Sorayampa camp to witness the stunning Salkantay Mountain. Here, an hour and 40-minute trek leads us to the breathtaking lagoon, embraced by glaciers. After our exploration, we return to Soraypampa for a delightful buffet lunch. This excursion resembles our group Humantay Lake Hike.
Rainbow Mountain (13 hours)
As we depart Cusco, our first pause will be in Cusipata for a fulfilling breakfast. Subsequently, we continue to Phulawasipata, marking the start of our hiking adventure.
This hike begins at the base of Ausangate and takes us to the marvelous Rainbow Mountain. After immersing ourselves in the vibrant vistas, we descend back to Cusipata for a well-deserved lunch. This experience is akin to our group Rainbow Mountain Hike.
Sacred Valley of the Incas (10 hours)
Kicking off this tour in Pisac, we will delve into the incredible remnants of the Inca civilization within the Sacred Valley. After discovering the ruins and the quaint town of Pisac, we journey onward to Ollantaytambo, known for its fine illustration of Incan urban design. As we navigate through the ancient ruins, we will uncover the profound history and culture of this civilization.
To recharge, we’ll savour a hearty buffet lunch in Urubamba. Once satisfied, we make our way to the heights of the town to visit Incan ruins that dominate the landscape. Anticipate an astonishing experience as we reveal the mysteries of these ancient structures.
You’ll have time to enjoy lunch at a local establishment before concluding this journey with a visit to the highest Inca ruins in Urubamba.
This excursion parallels our group tour of the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
