Day 1 :

We start early in the morning from our hotel in Cusco, or the airport. With our private car and English-speaking guide, we start to explore the real Peru. This tour will bring you first to Chinchero, 30km from Cuzco, situated in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. We travel across a high plain with splendid views of the Cordillera. The weaving’s town of Chinchero has a church that dates back to the 1600s. Its paintings and frescoes are well preserved. Chinchero is a picturesque community that combines both Inca and colonial architecture. We will observe a demonstration of the traditional weaving process. After this visit, we drive to Moray, in route we enjoy our picnic lunch. Here we visit one of the most interesting of the Inca constructions – believed to have been an agricultural experiment station. About 7 km to the southwest of Maras; The Incas created their micro-climate to adapt the plants to this altitude. Afterward, we go to our glamping in Moray Misminay where we meet our local family. They show us our comfortable tent. Enjoy from your tent panoramic views of immense crop fields and majestic snow peaks in an Andean rural town. You will not want to miss the sunrise when the sun appears behind the mountains in front of you. María and Mario Mayhua are a cheerful and very kind couple from Misminay. They will show you the surroundings of this wonderful place and will surprise you with delicious typical dishes. In the afternoon we learn how to make Adobe bricks. The blocks of adobe used for the construction of the houses are the material par excellence of the Andes. The adobe allows us to have resistant houses, easy to make and the most important thing is that it retains the heat on cold nights. We invite you to see how the land can serve as a construction material. Duration: 1 hour to 1½ hour. Then we take diner with our family.

Day 2 :

After our delicious breakfast, our driver and guide pick us up to go to the natural salt pans of Salineras, via old colonial towns which are situated in the Sacred Valley. Maras is well known for its colonial-style houses and interesting churches. Here we visit the famous salt pans, which were already exploited since the Inca era. Maras are constituted by about 3000 small Salt pans. After this visit, we drive to the village of Urubamba where we can visit the local market. We stop somewhere for our lunch before we drive to Ollantaytambo. Here we visit the amazing ruins. Ollanta is a lovely place to be. It is perfect for wandering the narrow byways, ancient stone buildings, and babbling irrigation channels, taking you have stepped back in time. In the afternoon we take the train to Aguas Calientes. It takes 1 hour and 30 minutes from Ollantaytambo. Once in Aguas Calientes, the hotel waits for you with a name sign, to bring you to your hotel. It is much warmer here; we are at the border of the jungle. Bring sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and a rain poncho with you. Enjoy the hot springs, or relax with a cold beer at one of the many terraces.

Day 3 :

Early in the morning, we line up for the bus who takes you to the current site of the “Lost City of the Incas.” Machu Picchu. It is about 25 min drive. Your bilingual guide will take you throughout the vast ruins. Machu Picchu is the best known of the Inca ruins, as it is recognized worldwide, yet it is not mentioned in any of the writings of the Spanish Conquistadors. It is believed to have been constructed around the mid-15th century and was “rediscovered” by American historian Hiram Bingham in 1911. The guided tour of this fascinating place is an awe-inspiring experience. Visit the Main Square, the Royal Quarters, the Temple of the Three Windows, the Circular Towers, the Sacred Sun Dial, and Burial Grounds. After the explanation (about 2 hours) you still have some free time to wander around by yourself. You can walk to Inti Puncu, the “Sun gate” (only possible before the guided tour) or to the mountain behind Machu Picchu “Huayna Picchu “, in a 45 min climb. Be careful, only 400 tourists a day can climb this, and you have to buy the permit far in advance. This permit you have to reserve for an extra charge together with the entree fee. From here you have stunning views over the whole complex! There are new rules at Machu Picchu, you only can stay maxima 4 hours in Machu Picchu from the hour written on your ticket. The hour on the ticket will depend on availability at the time you buy the tour. Standard, we buy the first hours. If you did get the permit for the Huayna Picchu mountain or Machu Picchu, you can stay in total 6 hours. After the tour, you take the bus back down to Agua Calientes to take the train back to Cusco or Ollantaytambo, from where we transfer you back to your hotel after a fantastic day. (optional glamping in the Sacred Valley at extra charge).
