Peruvian Andes. After your arrival, transfer to your hotel followed by free time to

acclimatize to the high altitude. Hotel pick up at 1.30pm for a city tour including the

Plaza de Aramas, the Cathedral, Santo Domingo Church and the Incan ruins of

Sacsayhuaman, Puca Pucara, Kenko, Tambo Machay. Drop off at your hotel around

Day 2 Cuzco - Sacred Valley - Cuzco

Pick up at 8.30am for a full day tour to the Sacred Valley including the bustling Indian

market at Pisac. The local merchants offer for sale all sorts of handicrafts, textiles and

ceramic goods, plates, ashtrays, necklaces and replicas of pre-Hispanic pottery. There are

also woolen ponchos; sweaters, blankets and bags made from llama and alpaca. Lunch at

a local restaurant in Urubamba, followed by a visit of the magnificent fortress at

Ollantaytambo. Return to Cuzco in the early evening. [BL]

Day 3 Cuzco - Machu Picchu

Early morning transfer (around 5.45am) to the railway station to board the train for a 3½

hour scenic train journey through the Urubamba Valley to Machu Picchu (2,280m), the

legendary lost city of the Incas. For centuries Machu Picchu was buried in jungle until the

American historian Hiram Bingham stumbled upon it almost by accident in 1911.

Although little is still known about the ‘lost city of the Incas’ it is obvious, by the quality

of the stonework and the abundance of ornamental sites, that Machu Picchu must have

been an important ceremonial centre. After a guided tour and a delicious lunch you are

free to explore the ruins on your own. Overnight in Aguas Calientes. [BL]

Day 4 Machu Picchu - Cuzco

Spend the morning at your leisure - we highly recommend that you watch the sunrise

over the ruins. Departure from the train station at Aguas Calientes at 3.30pm. After your

arrival in Cuzco at 7.30pm, transfer to your hotel. [B]

Day 5 Cuzco

The tour concludes after breakfast with a departure transfer. [B]
