7 packages include itExplore BoliviaThe shortest package in this category that includes hotels and airport transfers. You land in Cusco, rest, and see the city and the Inca sites above it in the afternoon. Day two is the long one: train down the valley, a guided visit to Machu Picchu, and back to the same Cusco hotel at night. Day three you fly out. It suits a long weekend or a stopover inside a bigger Peru trip.
Travelers who already know they cope with altitude, or who are coming from Lake Titicaca or another high city, handle this plan well. If it is your first time above 10,000 ft, give yourself one more day: the Machu Picchu and Cusco 4-day package adds the Sacred Valley and a night in Aguas Calientes, which breaks up the train day.
Day 1: airport pickup, coca tea, city tour from 1:00 p.m. through Qorikancha, Sacsayhuamán, Q'enqo, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay. Day 2: van to Ollantaytambo, train to Aguas Calientes, bus up, about two hours on Circuit 2 with a guide, then back to Cusco by evening. Day 3: breakfast and transfer to the airport. You sleep both nights in the same Cusco hotel, so you unpack once.
Same guides, trains and tickets in every tier. The tier sets only your Cusco hotel for both nights: Essential (3-star) from US$727, Comfort Plus (premium 4-star) US$736, Signature (5-star) US$936. Prices are per person in a double room. Solo travelers pay a single-room supplement, included in the quote.
Pick the day you land in Cusco. The trip ends on the morning of day 3.
Send the free quote form with your arrival date and passport details. We check tickets, trains and hotels and reply with what is available. June to August sells out first: book 30 to 45 days ahead.
Open a day to see the hours, the altitude and where you sleep. Times are the ones our guides actually keep.
Night in Cusco at 11,150 ft (3,400 m), high point about 12,470 ft (3,800 m) at the ruins above town
Our driver waits in arrivals with a sign with your name. The hotel is 15 to 20 minutes away.
Nothing scheduled. Drink water, eat little, walk slowly. The first hours at 11,150 ft matter more than any monument.
Qorikancha first, the Inca sun temple with a Dominican church built over its walls. Then by bus up to Sacsayhuamán, where some wall stones are taller than you, and on to Q'enqo, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay, where Inca water channels still run.
Pack a small bag for tomorrow. Pickup is before dawn and your suitcase stays at the hotel.
Night in Cusco at 11,150 ft (3,400 m), Machu Picchu at 7,970 ft (2,430 m)
About two hours by road through the Sacred Valley. The exact pickup time depends on your train and comes with your confirmation.
About 1 hour 40 minutes along the river into the cloud forest. It is warmer down here, so peel off a layer.
Consettur bus up, then about two hours with your guide past the upper viewpoint, the Temple of the Sun and the main plaza. If you booked Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain, ask us how it fits the train time.
Not included. Restaurants line the river and the market sells fruit and snacks.
Roof windows on the way up the valley, then the van from Ollantaytambo to your hotel in the evening.
Departure day, Cusco at 11,150 ft (3,400 m)
With an afternoon flight, the San Pedro market is a short walk for coffee beans and chocolate.
We set the pickup time around your flight. Staying longer? Tell us in the quote form and we extend the plan.
Cusco is the base for both nights, and the train day reaches Machu Picchu about 70 miles (112 km) away in a straight line.

"Incredible experience!! Beautiful landscape and beautiful people. We were lucky to be guided by Vladimir, who with his lovely personality and amazing knowledge made this trip a great learning experience."
"All the tours I did (Machu, Humantay Lake, Rainbow Mountain, Sacred Valley) were spectacular!!! From picking me up at the hotel (always punctual and attentive, notifying about everything!) to the guides I had who were also excellent."
"I came to this agency by recommendation and, after traveling with them on two occasions, I can say that it was an excellent decision. I must highlight the professionalism of the guides, who made every tour very interesting and safe."
Everything we get asked about this package before people book.
It is enough to see the Cusco highlights and Machu Picchu, not the Sacred Valley. Day 2 is long because you go and return the same day. If you can add one day, the 4-day package adds Chinchero, Moray and Maras plus a night by the river, and it is the version we recommend.
Day 1 is your acclimatization day: nothing until 1:00 p.m., then a city tour with short walks. Machu Picchu is about 3,200 ft (970 m) lower than Cusco, so day 2 is easier on the lungs than people expect. Coming straight from sea level, rest more than you think you need.
No. Both nights are in the same Cusco hotel, and Machu Picchu is a round trip on day 2. For a night at the foot of the mountain, choose the 4-day package or the 2-day train tour.
Essential uses a central 3-star hotel, Comfort Plus a premium 4-star, Signature a 5-star. The rest of the trip is identical. We send the hotel name with your confirmation.
Yes, Circuit 2, bought in your passport name, plus the bus. Read how Machu Picchu tickets work for the details on slots and passport rules.
Two breakfasts at the Cusco hotel. Lunches and dinners are on your own, and Cusco has good restaurants at every price within walking distance of the center.
For June to August, 30 to 45 days ahead. Other months, two to three weeks. Add two to three months if you want Huayna Picchu.
Yes. Rainbow Mountain fits as one extra day from Cusco. Lake Titicaca needs two more days, by road to Puno and a boat day on the lake. Tell us in the quote form and we send a combined plan.
Shorter, longer, or a different route.
Ride an ATV across the Maras plateau to Moray and the salt pans, take the train to Aguas Calientes, then see Machu Picchu with a guide. 2 days from US$527.
Two days from Cusco: the morning Vistadome train, a night in Aguas Calientes and an unhurried guided Machu Picchu visit the next morning. From US$597 per person.
Pisac, Urubamba and Ollantaytambo on day one, a night in Aguas Calientes, then Machu Picchu with a guide on day two. Five hotel tiers from US$627.
