Depend on your arrival time, we suggest to arrive between 8 or 9 AM.
Since our inception, we have been providing the best, and we sum it up as follows:
Cusco is a magical place full of history in Peru. Our staff in charge of you will be waiting for you at the airport in the city of Cusco to assist you. The guide will also be there for your convenience, as this time you will be heading towards the sacred valley. On the way you will make some stops and visits. Chinchero will be a place to visit, a town famous for its ancestral textiles, its living culture and its archaeological monuments. In this place you can enjoy a lunch feeling the air of the Andes. Afterwards, you will continue on your way to visit the picturesque village of Maras and the terraces of Moray; enigmatic places with a view of the nearby snow-capped mountains. At the end of the afternoon you will be assisted to the hotel in the Sacred Valley to have your first night in a warm place in the Andes.
This day we will have very quiet activities and will only take half a day; you can decide whether to do it in the morning or in the afternoon after lunch.
The first option is to visit Ollantaytambo, touring the archaeological center and the town itself to learn about the daily life of a town that is considered a “living Inca city”.
The second option is to go horseback riding in the sacred valley. This alternative is to ride through the landscapes of the sacred valley until you reach the entrance of Ollantaytambo and appreciate it from another perspective.
Any of these options will be ideal to get your body ready because the next day the real adventure is coming, walking the Inca Trail.
