MAGICAL CUSCO 2 (4D-3N)

Itinerary:

Day 1: Cusco – City Tour
Upon your arrival in Cusco and having left your luggage at the hotel of your choice, we’ll visit (on an old-time cable car or on foot) the city’s ancestral neighborhoods and the Qoricancha (Qori=Gold and Cancha=Enclosure), also known as the heart of the Tawantinsuyu (Tawa= Four and Suyu=Region). In fact, the Inca state was divided into four regions or provinces, and Cusco was its capital city. We’ll also visit Sacsayhuaman (Sacsay=Satisfied and Huaman=Falcon) and other important archaeological sites nearby. This portion can also be done on horseback (optional). In the evening, we’ll enjoy a performance of folkloric dances, followed by a night’s rest.

Then, we’ll visit the salt mines in Maras and share a country-style lunch typical of the Andean region. In the afternoon, we’ll take a guided tour of Ollantaytambo’s archaeological complex, and after dinner, we’ll spend the night in Ollantaytambo.

Day 3: Ollantaytambo – Aguas Calientes – Machu Picchu – Aguas Calientes – Cusco
First we’ll catch the train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu’s neighboring village).
