Itinerary

  1. Your private tour starts with hotel pickup in Cusco or the Sacred Valley. Your private tour guide and driver will then take you off the beaten path to Maras, a typical Andean village. Walk through the streets and feel as if you are walking during the time of the Incas, since a lot of the culture has remained very similar. The people still wear traditional clothes and the town is lined with historical buildings. Then, you will visit the very impressive San Francisco Church, including the baptism room and bell tower, where you can enjoy a great view of the village and its surrounding snow-capped mountains. Next, we will drive you to the circular terraces of Moray.

About Cusco

Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.

The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.

Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
