The altitude of Machu Picchu takes some getting used to—which is why we’ve designed a gradual introduction to this very special Peruvian adventure. Arrive in Cusco, at 11,000 feet—then journey to a lower altitude for your first walks in the Sacred Valley. Here, the local insight of your Peruvian leaders really shines as they guide you through a vibrant market in Urubamba, where villagers from the surrounding highlands gather to sell an astonishing variety of potatoes, corn, fruit, textiles, and handicrafts. With included Inca Rail Passes, you can choose to ride the train all the way to Machu Picchu—or disembark and hike the Inca Trail to the Sun Gate. An optional extension to the Peruvian Amazon brings you a deep cultural experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Tour Highlights
- Delight in a morning walk along ancient farming paths through the peaceful Andean Highlands.
- Trek a scenic footpath through the lush Andean countryside to Maras village, where locals still mine the terraced saltpans using traditional techniques.
- Marvel at breathtaking mountain and river views from the panoramic windows of the Vistadome train as you descend the narrowing valley from Ollantaytambo.
- Hike the Inca Trail to the Sun Gate—the original entrance to Machu Picchu—and take in sweeping views of the ancient citadel from above.
- Discover the ancient Inca capital of Cusco on a walking tour of the historic city. Enjoy free time to shop for Peruvian crafts, woolen textiles, silver jewelry, and local art.
This was an unforgettable trip with absolutely wonderful guides. We hiked and ate great food, but there was also so much more as the guides introduced us to the culture and history of Peru. The excursion was filled with insights as we shared their passion for the country.
