Discover the best of Cusco in just 48 hours with this carefully designed tour that combines the must-see sights of the Sacred Valley and the majestic Machu Picchu. Perfect for travelers with limited time but eager to experience it all, this itinerary will take you from the colorful textile markets of Chinchero to the enigmatic circular terraces of Moray, culminating with the sunrise at the lost city of the Incas. You will travel in comfortable panoramic trains, enjoy delicious local cuisine, and have guaranteed access to all the archaeological sites, all organized so you can focus on enjoying your experience. With over 1.5 million visitors annually, Machu Picchu is undoubtedly Peru’s most iconic destination and one of the 7 Wonders of the Modern World. This tour is specially designed for those seeking an intense yet well-planned experience, with expert guides who will reveal the secrets of Inca engineering, first-class transportation, and strategic accommodation in Aguas Calientes. Ideal for travelers who want to make the most of their time without missing any important details of these incredible places.
This tour combines adventure, history, and spectacular landscapes in the Peruvian Andes. For three days, you will travel along the 2-day Inca Trail, one of the most impressive routes to reach Machu Picchu, and you will visit the famous Rainbow Mountain, a unique natural destination. The classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is one of the most famous treks in the world and the most popular in Peru. It can be done in two versions: one of 2 days and another of 4 days. The 2-day Inca Trail is one of the most incredible routes to reach Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas. This journey passes through the high tropical jungle, where you can see mountains covered in vegetation, crystal-clear rivers, and ancient trails built by the Incas. Along the way, you will find Wiñayhuayna, an impressive archaeological site with agricultural terraces and stone buildings that showcase the advanced knowledge of this civilization. Another important point of the journey is Inti Punku, also known as The Sun Gate, from where you get one of the most spectacular views of Machu Picchu before reaching the citadel. Machu Picchu is one of the 7 wonders of the modern world and the most famous destination in Peru. Its ancient stone constructions, temples, and terraces were designed with great precision to withstand the test of time and harmonize with nature. Among its most important structures are the Temple of the Sun, the Sacred Plaza, and the Intihuatana, a mysterious stone that the Incas used as a solar clock. The Rainbow Mountain or Vinicunca is another of the most impressive places in Cusco. Its natural color bands, formed by minerals over millions of years, create a unique landscape in the world. Located at over 5,000 meters above sea level, this hike is challenging and requires being physically prepared. However, once you reach the top, the view is breathtaking and totally worth the effort.
This tour was designed for those looking to step off the beaten path and experience a more authentic connection with nature and Inca history. The hike to Llactapata follows an ancient network of Inca trails used centuries ago to connect Machu Picchu with the rest of the Empire. While it’s not part of the classic Inca Trail, this route offers an equally fascinating experience, with privileged views and fewer tourists. The journey begins with a hike along a trail used by Salkantay Trek travelers, but with adjusted schedules to enhance tranquility and immersion in the natural surroundings. Thanks to a partnership with a local family, we’ve improved the route to offer a more authentic and exclusive experience. One of the most magical moments of the tour happens at Llactapata, where you’ll get a unique panoramic view of Machu Picchu one day before visiting it. This is a special place, rich in history and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Andes. Finally, on the third day, we reach Machu Picchu, the jewel of the Inca civilization, where we’ll explore its astonishing architecture and the mysteries surrounding this world wonder. This journey is the perfect option for those seeking a different experience, away from the crowds and with a deeper connection to the Inca legacy.
The Inca Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu, also known as the Multi Sport Tour to Machu Picchu, is the most adventurous option in Cusco. This tour combines downhill mountain biking, class III and IV rafting, hiking through Cusco’s high jungle, and ziplining, considered the highest in Peru. The adventure ends at the impressive citadel of Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a dream destination for thousands of travelers. We offer 3, 4, and 5-day tours. This route was born as an alternative to the Classic Inca Trail, which used to sell out quickly. Over time, new activities were added, making it an exciting option for those seeking adrenaline and contact with nature. Although this tour is designed for adventurers, no previous experience is required, making it ideal for all types of travelers, including families and groups looking to explore Machu Picchu in a different way. The Inca Jungle Trek was created, organized, and popularized by Lorenzo Cahuana, who developed this route as an innovative way to reach Machu Picchu. Unlike other treks, no support staff or camping is needed, as travelers stay in local hotels and enjoy meals at family-run restaurants, promoting sustainable tourism that strengthens the local economy. In the last 15 years, the economy of many families has improved significantly. Thanks to this growth, communities continue to improve the route, discovering new paths and adding attractions to enrich the travel experience. Each year, more adventurers choose this alternative to reach Machu Picchu, enjoying breathtaking landscapes and an authentic connection with nature. If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience that combines sports, adventure, and culture,
This 5-day tour combines adventure, nature, and history, taking you from Cusco to Machu Picchu through various exciting activities and breathtaking landscapes. We start with a trip to Abra Málaga (4,350 m.a.s.l.), where we begin an exciting bike descent for about 55 km, crossing a climate change from snow-capped mountains to the tropical jungle. Then, in Santa Maria (1,200 m.a.s.l.), you’ll have the option to go rafting on the Vilcanota River (category III and III+).

Then, we begin a hike on an original section of the Inca Trail, ascending to Llactapata, where we’ll have a panoramic view of Machu Picchu and the snow-capped Salkantay.

Finally, we arrive in Aguas Calientes, where we prepare for the most awaited day.
