Pick up from your hotel from 6:30 to 7:00 a.m., we will leave for our first visit to Chinchero, a picturesque village, where we can see agricultural terraces, the remains of the royal hacienda of Tupac Inca Yupanqui, the beautiful colonial temple built on the foundations of an Inca building and observe the whole process of wool from washing and spinning to become beautiful textiles.
Continuing with our visit we will go to the circular terraces of Moray, where we will observe what were terraces of agricultural experimentation, then we will continue to the Salineras de Maras (salt mines), in this place we will observe the natural process of salt extraction dating from the time of the Incas.
Our next stop will be in the town of Urubamba, a place with good weather where we will have 40 minutes approximately to enjoy a buffet lunch, then we will go to the Ollantaytambo Fortress, built to guard the entrance to this part of the valley and protect it from possible invasions of the inhabitants of the jungle.
After visiting Ollantaytambo, we will go to the Ollantaytambo train station. There, we will take the Expedition train to the town of Aguas Calientes. Once you arrive, our assistant will be waiting to take you to the hotel and give you a brief explanation about your visit to Machu Picchu.
We will start the day very early, enjoying a delicious breakfast at the hotel. Afterwards, our assistant will take you to the bus station, where we will board the bus and start the journey to the archaeological sanctuary of Machu Picchu, the trip takes 30 minutes. Finally we will arrive at the Inca citadel, you will be amazed at this monument considered one of the 7 wonders of the Modern World, immediately our guide will begin the 2 hour guided tour for you to learn more about the history and architecture of the Inca City of Machu Picchu. You can stay 30 minutes more to enjoy Machu Picchu and then take the bus down to the town of Aguas Calientes, free time.
In the afternoon/evening, we will board the train to return to Ollantaytambo, where we will ensure your reception and transfer to the city of Cusco.
We will start the tour early, at 5:00 a.m., leaving from the city of Cusco. We will travel approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to Cusipata, where we will enjoy a delicious and varied breakfast to start the day with energy.
After breakfast, we will continue our journey taking the road to Puno. We will take a detour to Palccoyo, a less crowded alternative to the smelling but equally fascinating Rainbow Mountain. As we approach, the landscape will begin to change, revealing the impressive colorful mountains. At the end of the road, we will provide you with trekking poles and begin our hike.
In about 15 minutes, we will reach the first colorful mountain. Another 15 minutes will take us to the second mountain, and after another 15 minutes, we will reach the third mountain. Finally, we will walk for an additional 20 minutes until we reach the incredible stone forest (Bosque de Piedras), a unique spot that completes this magical route.

After enjoying this natural environment, we will return to the meeting point with our transportation, which will take approximately 30 minutes.
Back in Cusipata, a delicious and restorative lunch awaits you before heading back to Cusco, where we will arrive around 6:00 p.m.
Palccoyo, with several small colorful mountains that will surprise you, is a unique and authentic experience in which you can enjoy the Andean nature. It is a less crowded and easily accessible place, with gentle hikes that allow you to enjoy the beautiful scenery without the need for great physical effort. It is ideal for those who prefer a more relaxed but equally fascinating experience.
