Machu Picchu Express
Four days, one hotel, and visit to Machu Picchu as a day trip. You land in Cusco and spend the afternoon among the city's Inca foundations: the Qorikancha temple, the cathedral on the Plaza de Armas, then the vast stonework at Sacsayhuaman. The next day runs out across the Sacred Valley to the weaving town of Chinchero, the terraces at Moray, and the salt pans of Maras. Day three starts early for the train down the Urubamba river, and a guided walk through Machu Picchu before returning to Cusco in the late afternoon.
Day by day
Day 1 · Cusco
Guided tour of Cusco & ruins of Sacsayhuaman and Puka Pukara
On arrival in Cusco you are met and driven to your hotel, with the rest of the morning free to settle in and give the altitude time to settle with you. The afternoon continues with a guided exploration of the city's most iconic sites, including the spectacular ruins of Sacsayhuaman and Puka Pukara. Towering stonework, sweeping views over the red rooftops, and Cusco's rich cultural heritage come together at a gentle pace, with every moment made to be savored.
Overnight in Cusco

Machu Picchu Day Trip
Machu Picchu as a day out from Cusco, by train down the Urubamba valley past river and cloud forest. An early start puts the citadel in view by late morning, when the mist lifts off the terraces and the stonework at 7,970 feet appears all at once. A guide walks the temples and plazas, then the afternoon is open for wandering in Aguas Calientes below the ruins. The evening train carries the day back up the valley to Cusco.
