Today you will enjoy a guided tour of beautiful Cusco. First head to the wonderful Koricancha, next door to Santo Domingo Church. The Koricancha was the most sacred and most important temple in the Incan Empire. Its walls were covered with gold, and life-size statues of plants and animals – all made of pure gold and silver. Sadly, this wealth was stripped out by the Spanish conquistadors.

Next head to Cusco Cathedral, located on the Plaza de Armas. Built between 1560 and 1654 on top of the foundations of an existing Incan temple, this spectacular cathedral houses many works of art by the Cusco School of painters, and its main altar and pulpit are covered in gold and silver relief work.

The next stop is the imposing Incan fortress of Sacsayhuaman, which sits on a hill above Cusco. See some of the finest examples of Incan stonework and construction, including massive rocks that were carefully cut and perfectly fitted together to form the walls. From here you can enjoy beautiful panoramic views of Cusco. After exploring Sacsayhuaman, head up the hill to the Tambomachay Archeological Complex. The exact purpose of this site is unknown, but it may have functioned, at least in part, as an Incan spa.

After the tour you will be returned to the hotel where you will enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

Upon arrival at Moray, your guide will lead you through the three amphitheater-like terraced structures. These circular terraces were used as experimental fields to determine the best growing conditions for different crops. It's a remarkable sight that reveals the ingenuity of the Inca Empire. Next, continue to Maras, here you'll witness the incredible salt evaporation ponds, which were utilized by the Incas and possibly even pre-Inca civilizations. Over 3,000 salt pools are carved into the mountainside, collecting highly saline water from a spring. As the water evaporates, the salt remains, forming the famous pink table salt known as sal de Maras. The salt ponds resemble a snowy or icy landscape, creating a truly stunning view.

Afterwards, stop at a restaurant for approximately 45 minutes for lunch (not included). Following a 30-minute drive, reach the captivating Inca town and archaeological site of Ollantaytambo. This was once the royal estate of Inca emperor Pachacuti, who conquered the region and constructed the town and ceremonial center. Spending about an hour exploring the ruins, you'll visit the remarkable Temple of the Sun and witness the perfectly carved and polished massive stone blocks crafted by skilled Inca stonemasons. Returning to the town, you'll observe the intricate Inca water system, still in use today, as we walk towards the town square. From there, you'll have panoramic views of the ruins above, as well as Inca granaries and store houses built into the surrounding mountainsides. After Ollantaytambo, head back to Urubamba, which concludes the Sacred Valley tour.

Overnight: La Casona de Yucay Hotel or similar, Urubamba

From there, we'll take a short bus ride with zigzag ascent to the entrance of Machu Picchu.

Entering the archaeological site of Machu Picchu, our experienced guide will lead a two-hour walking tour. You'll explore the iconic landmarks such as the House of the Guardian, Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, the Sacred Plaza, and more (subject to the circuit determined by the Ministry of Culture).

After the tour, we'll take the bus back to Aguas Calientes, where you'll have time to relax.

This morning you have at leisure, or alternatively you can choose an optional second visit to Machu Picchu for sunrise. 

In the afternoon you will board the train back to Poroy and upon arrival you will be met and transferred to the hotel in Cusco.

Optional Tour: Sunrise at Machu Picchu AUD $160 per person

Take this opportunity to see the Famous Machu Picchu at sunrise. 

Optional Tour: Wayanpicchu Mountain AUD $230 per person

Fitness Level: Demanding; A high fitness level is required to undertake these activities, which may include high-altitude trekking for anywhere between four to seven hours per day for an extended number of days. Recommended for active travellers with some previous trekking experience.

Age limit: Not suitable for those under 8 years of age.

Wayanpicchu (also called Huayna Picchu) is a mountain that appears behind the classic image of Machu Picchu. This optional activity is the chance to climb this sought after, challenging, short hike. This is a bucket list hiking trail that takes you to the top of Wayna Picchu and at the summit you get to see original Inca buildings and epic panoramic views.

Beginning in Machu Picchu Pueblo or Aguas Calientes, after breakfast, you will go to the bus station to take a panoramic tour of the winding road that leads to the mountain to Machu Picchu for approximately 30 minutes. After this short bus ride, you will arrive at the gates of Machu Picchu, which are located 2,400 meters above sea level (7,874 feet). You will enter the Inca citadel and begin your visit to this wonder; you will see all the most famous and spectacular parts of the extensive archaeological complex and if you have the entrance to Huayna Picchu you will be able to enjoy this sugar loaf that is often seen in the mountains photos of Machu Picchu, rising behind the ruins. It is a fascinating ascent up the steep and narrow Inca trail that leads up the mountain, and you will be able to see how the Incas cut some steps directly into the rock. At the top, you will see narrow Inca stairs and altars, and you will have incredible views of Machu Picchu.

Despite being a relatively short hike lasting 1.5-2 hours, it is quite challenging. It is a very steep climb with some big steps and sometimes you will find yourself scrambling up the rocks at the top. There are also some disconcerting drops to one side of the narrow stairs, so this hike is not recommended for people with a fear of heights. But if you're feeling brave and think you'll have enough energy to do this hike after exploring Machu Picchu, it's worth considering.

Later in the afternoon, you will leave Machu Picchu and take the bus back to Aguas Calientes, where you can have lunch at one of the many restaurants (at your own expense). You will then board the train back to Poroy at approximately 15:20. When you arrive in Poroy at approximately 19:00, you will be picked you up and taken back to your hotel in Cusco.

Important: If you want to book this visit on your trip to Machu Picchu, you must book at least 4 months in advance because spaces are reduced and regulated by the state.

Optional Activity: Half-Day Cooking Class AUD $130 per person

Over the past two decades, Peru has become one of the world's most vibrant culinary destinations. Thanks in part to the work of celebrated Peruvian chefs like Gastón Acurio, Peruvian cuisine has been brought to the world stage, and tourists come to Peru both to sample the food and to see the myriad of attractions the country has to offer.

One of the reasons why Peru is such an interesting culinary destination is the incredible variety of ingredients from the country, from the coast, the mountains, and the jungle. The Cusco half-day food experience takes you first to a colorful and traditional San Pedro market where you will see all the fresh produce and handicrafts. You will then go to a local restaurant where you will have a fun cooking class while preparing a traditional Andean meal, supervised by your chef.

Supplier Fees
In the event the tour package you have purchased is unable to proceed, and/or a travel Supplier is unable to fulfil the Qantas Tour due to external circumstances (Limitation of Liability e.g. a Force Majeure event), there may be a fee or amount of money that is withheld by our Suppliers and is unrecoverable. This may be due to non-refundable airline tickets, cancellation penalties with cruise cabins or unrecoverable payments with our land/accommodation partners. If refunds are not available from Suppliers, we will endeavour to obtain a travel credit on the best terms available and communicate these outcomes to you. In the event we are unable to obtain a refund or travel service credit, or part thereof, this cost is passed on to the customer as a Supplier Fee.
