Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive
Lima. Start your adventure into the Land of the Incas. Transfer to the Holiday Inn Airport or the Wyndham Costa del Sol Airport Hotel.
Day 2: Lima/Cuzco/Machu Picchu. An
early morning flight will take you to Cuzco, the ancient capital of the
Inca Empire, at an altitude of 11,300 feet. You will be met upon arrival
to commence your tour into the scenic Urubamba Valley. The valley, also
known as the Sacred Valley of the Incas, is at a much more comfortable
altitude of 8,500 feet, and you will immediately feel the difference.
If you arrive Tuesday, Thursday, or Sunday you will stop at Pisac, for
a colorful Indian market. Stalls overflow with weavings, handicrafts and
pottery, enticing everyone to bargain! If it is not market day you will
have an opportunity to climb the ruins at Ollantaitambo, another sacred
site which the Incas fiercely defended from the Spaniards. Lunch is included,
and in the afternoon you will board the VistaDome train to Machu Picchu. In
less than two hours you will arrive at the train station of Aguas Calientes,
where a representative of your selected hotel will be waiting for you.
For those staying in the First Class, Superior First Class, Deluxe and Deluxe+ hotels, dinner is included. (B)
Day 3: At Machu Picchu. Your private
guide will pick you up at your hotel this morning for your tour of Machu
Picchu, where you will spend the day in both guided and individual exploration,
visiting the best-known features of this astounding and mysterious Inca
citadel. You
might want to take the optional hike to the summit of Wayna Picchu for
an amazing overview of the site, or you may want to investigate Machu
Picchu's multitude of hidden nooks and corners. Dinner is included at the hotels in the First Class, Superior First Slass, Deluxe and Deluxe+ categories. Transfers from Aguas Calientes to/from Machu Picchu Archaeological Zone and entrance fees are included. (B)
Day 4: Machu Picchu to Cuzco. Continue
to explore Machu Picchu before winding back down the mountain by bus to
catch your afternoon train for Cuzco. Note: Transfers from Aguas Calientes to/from Machu Picchu and entrance fees are NOT included this day. (B)
Day 5: In Cuzco. This afternoon you
board a motorcoach for a tour of colonial Cuzco, including the Temple
of the Sun, Cathedral and Plaza de Armas. Next, ascend the hills surrounding
Cuzco to visit the Inca ruins of KKenko, Pucapucara, Tambo Machay
and the great stone fortress of Sacsayhuaman. (B)
Day 6: Depart Cuzco. Transfer to the airport, bus station, or train terminal for the continuation of your trip.
Extend
your vacation to Peru by adding a tour to the north of Peru to see the
renowned archaeological discoveries at the tomb of the Lord
of Sipan or south of Lima to the Plains
of Nazca. Or explore the Peruvian
rainforests of Iquitos or Puerto Maldonado.
