El comienzo del viaje

In Chinchero, we’ll enjoy a cultural experience with the local community. We’ll learn about their ancient techniques for dyeing, weaving, and creating items like ponchos, shawls, chullos, and gloves, all crafted with vicuña wool and other native materials.
We’ll explore the Moray site and the Maras Salt Mines. At each location, we’ll stop for 30 to 40 minutes to immerse ourselves in the history and admire the beauty of these unique Inca sites.
We’ll have a buffet lunch in the Sacred Valley, where you can enjoy a variety of appetizers, main dishes, and desserts, all prepared with fresh regional ingredients.
On the train ride to Machu Picchu Pueblo, we’ll travel alongside the Urubamba River, feeling the mild climate and ambiance of Peru’s cloud forest. From the panoramic windows and train’s skylights, you’ll see mountains, lush vegetation, and witness the dramatic ecosystem shift from highlands to jungle. You’ll also see the start of the famous Inca Trail at kilometer 82.
In Machu Picchu Pueblo, you’ll spend the night listening to the soothing sound of the river and can enjoy the medicinal hot springs, located about a 15-minute walk from the village. You may also delight in a meal, pizza, or a pisco sour while enjoying an evening show.
We’ll take a bus from Machu Picchu Pueblo for a 25-minute journey to the Machu Picchu citadel. Along the Hiram Bingham road, we’ll see estates and imposing mountains as we ascend toward the peak.
Experience the history and culture in every corner of the Machu Picchu citadel: Accompanied by an expert guide, explore the walkways and structures of the citadel, including iconic sites like the Guardhouse, the Temple of the Sun, the Three Windows, the Intihuatana, the Acllahuasi, the Temple of the Condor, and the water fountains.
After the guided tour, relax and explore the charming village of Machu Picchu Pueblo, where you can enjoy its diverse dining options and handicrafts before boarding the return train to Cusco to conclude this unforgettable adventure.

Description

The Sacred Valley VIP with Connection to Machu Picchu tour combines the Sacred Valley VIP tour with an excursion to Machu Picchu. This is ideal for you if you want to visit the greatest number of attractions in the Sacred Valley in one day. Additionally, upon arriving in Ollantaytambo, you’ll be able to take your train to Machu Picchu Pueblo at the time indicated on your ticket and visit Machu Picchu on the second day.

We’ll start by visiting Chinchero, Moray, and the Salt Mines (Salineras). Then, we’ll enjoy a buffet lunch in the heart of the Sacred Valley and finally head to Ollantaytambo, where we’ll take the train to Machu Picchu Pueblo.

Machu Picchu Pueblo is a charming small town divided by the Allcamayo and Vilcanota rivers, filled with restaurants, craft shops, and hotels. The advantage of spending the night in Machu Picchu Pueblo is that you can wake up early and be among the first to enter Machu Picchu the next day, enjoying the citadel with fewer tourists. We recommend doing this activity between April and September.
