Great trip. Beautiful archeological sites and cities included in the itinerary. Would have been helpful for many travelers to know that for the two nights at Machu Picchu you will need an overnight bag for the train ride and hotel stay as your luggage is likely too large for the train to Machu Picchu. Cusco was a great city to walk around and sample a lot of good restaurants.

Really nice experience, I saw a lot things and had many highlights. It was a pitty that our first CEO was not that good and caused some negative vibes in the group. The Lares Trek was cool and no problem at all for me regarding the hike but some people should have not be on the trek because they struggled really hard and we needed to wait really long for them.

Although of a rather short duration, this five-hour, group tour nonetheless covers much of the important sights in and around the city of Cusco. Book with us to discover the highlights of the city that was once the capital of the mighty Inca Empire. Our representative will pick you up from your accommodation in Cusco at 1:00 pm. Hop into the shared transport and head for the famous Cusco Cathedral, built on the foundations of the Incan temple of Kiswarkancha in the sixteenth century.
See its magnificent chapels and altars before walking up to the temple of Qorikancha. Dedicated to Inti, the sun god in the Inca pantheon, this temple was the most important temple in the Inca Empire and was constructed with great care and craftsmanship.
Next, you will drive out of Cusco in a bus to see four incredible archaeological sites. First on the list is Sacsayhuaman, a fortified complex perched atop a steep hill built with rocks that weigh more than 100 tons each. Learn more about the history, culture, meaning and significance of this beautiful place from your tour guide.
Just five minutes away from Sacsayhuaman is Qenqo. See its sacrificial altar before heading out to the archaeological sites of Puka Pukara (a fort) and Tambomachay, the latter consisting of a series of aqueducts and canals that channel water from the nearby natural springs.
This tour comes to an end with a drop-off at the city centre (Cusco's main square) at around 6:00 pm.

We had a fabulous nine-day tour, including the two day Inca experience, Inca trail/Machu Picchu, and Rainbow Mountain. John, our contact, met us at the airport and helped us generally acclimate to the new culture.
We cannot praise Adolfo, our guide, enough for his knowledge, experience, and attentiveness to our needs. He was so fun to be with. Our driver, Edgar, was excellent. All over, a fantastic adventure.

Your tour starts with a walking tour to visit the principal local market, San Pedro. Then, walk around Cusco’s city center, visiting the beautiful main square and the Cathedral of Cusco, which holds many archaeological artifacts and relics. Among them is a famous painting of the Last Supper by Marcos Zapata, showing Christ and the apostles eating a guinea pig.
Continue your tour to the huge Inca ceremonial center of Sacsayhuaman, which overlooks the city of Cusco. Then visit another important Inca site known as Qenqo, which houses subterranean passages and a mummification site. After that, you will make a short visit to the archaeological Inca site of Tambomachay, a temple dedicated to the god of water.
We will have a lovely home-style lunch, in the heart of the traditional neighborhood of San Blas, in a picturesque, rustic courtyard surrounded by cherry trees and tumbles. Perfect for an outdoor lunch next to the wood-fired oven accompanied by a melodious Andean harp.
After lunch, we will return to the city center, where you will visit one of the most sacred Inca buildings, the Temple of Qoricancha. Within its walls religious ceremonies were constant, and offerings to the Gods and the Inca’s mummies were made each day.
After the city tour you will be dropped off at your hotel.
