In 20 minutes on the way, you will have the first impressions of the Andes, red-tiled roof and narrow cobblestone streets which characterize this ex-Inca capital. Cusco is placed 3,400 meters above the sea level and instantly, it makes the place look great and exceptional. This is why the remaining day is also devoted to the rest and acclimatization.Afternoon is free to spend at a slow pace. You can relax at your hotel, stroll in the Plaza de Armas or take your stroll in the San Blas, a lovely area with its artisan stores and panoramic views.

You will be shown all sites of interest by your professional guide as he narrates to you all day long.

Our itinerary will be to visit Qoricancha which is the mythical Temple of the Sun. The perfection of its cut stone walls manufactured of Inca material is sharply contrasting the colonial convent constructed over it. We will now go to the Cusco cathedral which is an ideal architectural masterpiece that maintains the splendid Cusco school of art. The interior is covered with gold leaf and detailed carving of wood.

Later on we go to the great fortress at Sacsayhuman. Soaring defense walls of massive limestone blocks (some over 100 tons), command the view of the city.

We proceed with our tour in Pisac, which boasts of an impressive archeological location as well as a bright artisan market.

Then, you will have an opportunity to shop hand-crafted textiles, jewelry, and ceramics of local craftsmen. The cultural relationship is realistic and intimate.

Then we head on to Urubamba where we have a fine buffet lunch with a view of Andes landscapes. Local products emphasize the traditional taste through the introduction of fresh local ingredients but with sophisticated presentation. We will get there in the afternoon to Ollantaytambo, which is one of the most maintained Inca towns in Peru. Its enormous terraces of stone and its ancient paved streets give us an idea of the life of the past.

At the end of your visit we will return to the city of Cusco where you will rest for your next adventure.

The horizon of the drive is enclosed by snow-capped mountains. The landscape is enough to ensure that the outing is memorable.

We begin with an awesome round agricultural complex of Moray. These terraces flow outward to the earth creating what numerous individuals think was an Inca farming laboratory. The different levels bring about different microclimates and thus it is possible to experiment with various crops. Its design shows a high level of knowledge in science during that period.

Then we will head towards the Maras salt mines, a network of beautiful salt pools that fall off the side of the mountains in excess of 3,000. Since pre-Inca times, local families have been harvesting salt. The white terraces are quite bright in contrast with the earth colors. You will get to know about the traditional extraction methods, which are in use today.

We walk slowly progressing at an average of 4,600 meters and gradually ascend to Rainbow Mountain. Depending on pace and acclimatization the walk will require a 1.5 to 2 hour walk. The valley is engulfed by snow-covered mountains. The quiet of the high Andes has a force that is humiliating.

Salkantay experience with Christian I fell ill right at the start of our Salkantay trip, but Christian was absolutely incredible. He made sure I got all the right medicine and went above and beyond to help me recover and get back into shape so that I could still enjoy the rest of the trek. Beyond that, Christian is genuinely one of the best guides you could ask for. He’s funny, incredibly helpful and full of great recommendations. Whatever questions we had, he seemed to know the answer, and if we needed something, he somehow made it happen. More than anything, it felt less like having a tour guide and more like travelling with an old friend who just happened to know everything about the area. He made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend Christian to anyone doing the Salkantay trek!

More than a guide — a friend in Peru We were lucky to have the same guide, Cristian, for both our Sacred Valley tour and the Salkantay Trek, so we ended up spending quite a few days together. He really became a big part of our Peru trip. He knows so much about Inca history, Peruvian culture, the mountains, and local life, and we loved how naturally all of that came up in our conversations along the way. He was also very patient and always paid attention to how we were doing during the trek. On Salkantay, he even suggested adjusting our itinerary based on the weather conditions so we could have the best possible experience, which we really appreciated. He never rushed us, was happy to stop whenever we needed, and was just very easy and fun to be around. By the end of the trip, it honestly felt less like we had hired a guide and more like we had made a friend in Peru.

4d Salkantay trek and Sacred Valley day tour We were so lucky to have Cristian as our guide on our first trip to Cusco. He’s such a smart, thoughtful, and organized person. We did both the Sacred Valley tour and the Salkantay Trek with him. Whenever there was something to explain, he was incredibly knowledgeable, and during the trek he was also just a really fun person to talk to. He always paid attention to how everyone was feeling, made sure everyone was doing okay, and took care of what each person needed. I’m really happy that this trip to Peru gave us not only so many amazing memories, but also a wonderful new friend.
