About this trip
Six days around Cusco and the Sacred Valley, tracing why the Incas built their empire here. You move between archaeological sites and Andean landscapes, with the mountains as a constant backdrop.
The trip builds toward Machu Picchu, giving you time to take in the site rather than just ticking it off.
Partially guided and coach-based, it suits travellers who want the big Peru sights covered without organising the logistics themselves.
What you'll do
- Explore Cusco's main historic sites
- Travel through the Sacred Valley's Andean landscapes
- Visit Inca archaeological sites in the valley
- See Machu Picchu
- Partially guided, so some sections are on your own
- Easy pace, travel is mainly by coach/bus
- Suits families and groups, including over Christmas and New Year
Worth it if you want excellent guides and well-organised logistics in Peru. Think twice if you need flexibility—cancellation policies are strict and the company disputes refund promises.
- Guides consistently praised as knowledgeable, friendly, and patient; specific mentions of Elias and Edgar Rivas.
- Hotels picked are clean and visually interesting; solo travellers greeted at airport arrival and departure.
- Company disputed promised refund after flight cancellation, claiming earlier verbal assurance was 'an error'.
- Must specify window seats and Machu Picchu circuit preference at booking; circuit 4 left visitor disappointed.
