DAY 01: ARRIVAL CUSCO โ AFTERNOON CITY TOUR ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES
On arrival in Cusco, you will be met with assistance at the airport and transport to your hotel. The restof the morning is free to rest and acclimatise to the high altitude. The city tour will start at 13:00 pm.
Today we have a guided tour of Cusco and its nearby ruins. The city, once capital of the extensive Inca Empire, has seen many changes since Francisco Pizarro took the city with such apparent ease in November 1533. We explore the city by foot to appreciate its superbly constructed Inca walls and architecturally extravagant colonial churches and palaces. This also includes a visit of Koricancha, the
Ancient Golden Temple of the Sun. After this we take a short drive to visit the monolithic walls of Sacsayhuaman along with Tambomachay, better known as โthe bath of the Incaโ. Both sites are spectacularly set above the city. In the afternoon you may have time to explore some of the central parts of the city and a chance to look at some of the great varieties of local craft work.
DAY 02: MARAS AND MORAY (B)
We pick you up from your hotel for a trip to the village of Maras and the Experimental agricultural terraces of Moray. It is believed that Moray Incas created their own microclimate to help plants adapt to the altitude. After this we will make an afternoon visit to the salt mines located near the town of Maras. These mines continue to operate and local people work on them during the day. We return to Cusco in the afternoon.

Early in the morning we will leave Cusco at 8:00 AM. We will stop at the city of Pisac (or Pisaq), through which the River of Urubamba flows. Here we will enjoy the weekly market where we can buy textiles, pottery and other little things. We will then take the bus uphill to the ruins complex of Pisac, an Inca citadel perched on a mountain side. Our journey continues to Ollantaytambo, where we will visit the archaeological complex. In the afternoon, we will travel to Agua Calientes by train, where weโll spend the night.
DAY 04: AGUAS CALIENTES โ MACHU PICCHU โ CUSCO (B)
