Machu Pichu, Cusco and Hidden Gems

We begin our journey with a strategic stop at Huaca Pucllana, which contrasts with Lima’s historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We’ll stroll through the stunning Plaza de Armas, surrounded by ornate wooden balconies that make for incredible photos. Next, we’ll explore the mysteries and fascinating architecture of the catacombs at the Monastery of San Francisco.

We’ll handle all the logistics. After breakfast, a private transfer will take you to Lima’s airport for your flight. Upon arrival in Cusco, our team will meet you and ensure a comfortable transfer to your hotel. Free day to acclimate and capture your first images of the city’s cobblestone streets. (Optional: Private or small-group archaeological city tour).

We depart from Cusco toward the Sacred Valley, descending to a more comfortable altitude. We’ll visit the vibrant market in Pisac and its scenic ruins. The tour continues to the imposing fortress of Ollantaytambo, filled with crystal-clear water channels and Inca terraces perfect for photography. In the late afternoon, we board the train with panoramic windows to Aguas Calientes, an unforgettable experience through the Urubamba River canyon.

To ensure the best light and avoid crowds, we’ll leave very early for the citadel. Accompanied by a specialized guide, you’ll explore Machu Picchu’s most scenic and iconic spots at your own pace, ensuring perfect shots without strangers in the frame. In the afternoon, we’ll take the bus back to Aguas Calientes and board the return train, with a private transfer already waiting to take you to your hotel in Cusco.

A full day at your leisure to enjoy the atmosphere of Cusco, visit boutique studios, or relax. (Optional: For photography and “soft adventure” enthusiasts, we offer the impressive expedition to the Mountain of Seven Colors (Vinicunca), a surreal landscape at 5,100 meters above sea level, perfect for your social media feed.)
