DAY 1: City Tour Cusco

Let’s start with the first day in the city of Cusco, and see what we could do this day, keep in mind this important fact that is Altitude sickness , to avoid it, it is highly recommended that during the morning we can at least rest in our accommodation establishment or if not simply do not do much physical exertion at least in the morning on this first day so that the normal headaches from altitude sickness.

Then we seek to acclimatize ourselves as quickly as possible with the least physical effort since the city of Cusco is located at 3399 meters above sea level. So it is a priority to be able to arrive in good shape in all these 4 days.

CITY TOUR: We definitely recommend a half-day City Tour once in Cusco, perhaps in the afternoon considering that you could take the morning off on this first day or do it in the morning and rest in the afternoon, on the City Tour, you could see places very important as the Temple of the Sun (Qoricancha), then a visit to Sacsayhuaman, Puca Pucara, Tambomachay and all these places with a great history of The Inca Period.

IMPORTANT: For this tour and for those who will mention you, it is important to acquire the so-called TOURIST TICKET OF CUSCO, which will allow us to visit many places in the city of Cusco in the name way collaborate with the preservation of these places to see the prices you could enter the next link: HERE THE TOURIST TICKET

DAY 2 Cusco, Sacred Valley of the Incas and Aguas Calientes:

Now after having started a fairly quiet City Tour without much physical effort, now on this day it is  highly recommended to visit the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It will take you a whole day to complete the rest of the previous day. You will know very important places from The Inca Period such as Pisac, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo where you will be the option to take a train that takes you to Aguas Calientes so that you can visit Machu Picchu on the third day.

In Sacred Valley to visit, to visit this place it is also very important to get our Cusco Tourist Ticket (HERE THE TOURIST TICKET) that we have mentioned above if for some reason you forgot to get it in Cusco, neglect at the beginning of this visit you could make but keep in mind that it is necessary to carry cash and your personal documents.

Once you have arrived in Aguas Calientes it will be where you will spend the night comfortably, so the next day you could climb the most famous mountain to one of the 7 wonders of the world, so try to rest well and text day have the necessary strength to visit Machu Picchu.

On this third day it is time to visit Machu Picchu, you woke up on this day now it is time to go to the bus station that will take us to the starting point of our visit to Machu Picchu.
