Cusco


Cusco is one of the most charming and attractive cities in Latin America. Located at 11,000 feet / 3500 meters in the Andes, it is a mixture of ancient Inca walls and colonial architecture, with surprises at the end of each cobblestone alley. In the Sacred Valley between Cusco and Machu Picchu, many other places are worth visiting, all providing a spectacular mountainous landscape and a growing selection of luxury and boutique hotels and restaurants.  

 

 

Cusco is the most touristed city in Peru due to its proximity to Machu Picchu. The 5 star hotels on your Cusco tours are impeccable and maintain their mystical historical charm. From boutique options to top-end 5 star hotels your accommodation needs Will be catered for on your Peru luxury trip.

The Sacred Valley


So many people miss out on the Sacred Valley of The Incas, but this stunning area is well worth a visit. Thanks to its unique climate, the valley is lush with vegetation, multicolored flowers bloom all year, and a shy sun keeps the temperature mild. It is also home to a host of Inca ruins, such as Ollantaytambo, Maras, and Moray, which we visit on this tour. After a busy few days, haggling at the markets in Cusco or hiking through the Andes, it is the perfect location to spend a night or two relaxing in several exquisite luxury accommodations available.

 

A trip to the Maras Salt Pans on a Sacred Valley tour from Cusco is a must-visit! The maras salt extracted from these ponds is some of the finest in the world yet still uses ancient traditional methods. Visit on your Peru holiday packages.

The Short Inca Trail

 

The Inca Trail is a bucket list item for many people. The short trek enters the classic Inca Trail on day 3, meaning that you hike for one day and still arrive at Machu Picchu through the magnificent Sun gate. Along the hike, pass through dense cloud forest with its wide variety of plants, flowers, birds, and, if we are lucky, some of the local mammals such as Vizcachas (chinchillas) or the rare Spectacled Bear. After a day of trekking, we will arrive at the Sun Gate (Inti Punku) in the late afternoon for our first views of Machu Picchu, stretched over the mountain ridge below. The lighting at this hour of the day makes for amazing pictures. Descending from the Sun Gate, we continue along the beautiful paved stone path to Machu Picchu, but only to the famous “look-out point” above the central part of the citadel. Stay at the Belmond Sanctuary Lodge, the only hotel at the archaeological site with impressive views over Machu Picchu, an onsite massage service and exquisite cuisine. Be the first to enter Machu Picchu for your guided tour the following morning and beat the crowds making their way to this iconic archaeological site. We return to Cusco on the exclusive Hiram Bingham luxury train service, reminiscent of the orient express and with all of the culinary delights and fabulous service that one would expect.
