5-Day Trip to Peru Package | Vacation Tour Packages

Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Maras Salt Mines, Moray, South Valley, Rainbow Mountain

5 Days / 4 Nights

Day one kicks off with an amazing cultural tour of the Sacred Valley. You’ll have the opportunity to discover the best archaeological sites in the Valley of The Incas. Throughout the drive to Ollantaytambo, you’ll be captivated by sweeping vistas of the Andean Mountain and terraced crops synonymous with the Amaru Community.

We’ll take you past the small town of Pisac, where vibrant local markets offer a glimpse into local life. You’ll also visit the Pisac Archeological Site, which showcases the architectural ingenuity of the Incas. Be ready to snap some photos and explore the old fortress and farming terraces of this historic site.

As we continue along the scenic road to Ollantaytambo, the stunning views continue to roll past, offering even more photo opportunities. Once we reach Ollantaytambo, you’ll most likely be hungry, and this is when we’ll visit a local alpaca farm for an amazing buffet lunch. This isn’t included in the tour cost but offers a great chance to try out some classic Peruvian dishes.

After lunch, you’ll spend some time exploring Ollantaytambo Sanctuary, which is another example of Incan engineering and architecture. Once you’ve enjoyed a tour of this scenic spot, you’ll join the train for  Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes, where you’ll spend the night at Inti Punku before visiting Machu Picchu.

Day 1

Starting bright and early, we’ll catch the bus to Machu Picchu from Aguas Calientes. We’ll aim to get to Machu Picchu for sunrise so you can appreciate the morning’s first rays at one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

The day consists of an extensive guided tour of the famed archeological site, providing insider tips and information about Machu Picchu. We’ll clue you in on all the best spots to take your postcard-worthy photos, and help you take them too, if you like. You’ll also have some time to wander around the grounds yourself, so just be sure to meet at the rendezvous point.

After spending much of the day exploring, we’ll return to Cusco City for any additional activities if we have time. You’ll also spend the rest of your stay at the stunning San Agustin Hotel.

Day 2

Start day three with a magical guided tour of the Maras Salt Mines and the Moray ruins. You’ll learn all about the history and use of the Maras Salt Mines. With more than 3,000 salt pools fed by the subsoil of the Qaqawiñay mountain, it’s safe to say this is an attraction that’ll live long in the memory.

The tour also consists of a visit to the Moray ruins, which are three groups of large circular terraces — also known as muyus. With 12 levels in each circular amphitheater, it’s a true marvel worth every minute of your visit. 

Throughout this half-day tour, you’ll have the opportunity to soak up the eclectic views of the Sacred Valley before heading back to Cusco. We’ll then take you to a highly regarded local restaurant for a true taste of Peruvian cuisine.

The rest of the day is all yours, as you have some free time to explore the historic center of Cusco. You can visit the Museum of Qorikancha, wander along the avenue El Sol, or catch a show at the Centro Qosqo de Arte Nativo.

The possibilities really are endless. If you want some guidance, just ask your tour guide, and they’ll be happy to help you find activities that suit your interests.

Day 3

The penultimate day of your vacation tour packages starts with a half-day excursion through the South Valley. You’ll see a lot of the valley, from the forts at Rumiqolqa to the farming terraces of Tipon.

Colonial churches are also very much on the agenda, as we’ll visit some of the most historic churches in the region. Saint Peter the Apostle of Andahuaylillas is considered one of the most significant churches in South America, and it’ll be included in the trip.

After touring the South Valley, we’ll return to Cusco for another visit to one of your recommended restaurants. During the meal, we’ll recommend some of the lesser-known areas of the city that are definitely worth visiting.

After lunch, you’ll have free time to explore Cusco on your own. You can visit some of the places we recommended during the lunch, but you’re also more than welcome to venture to some of the usual tourist attractions. Saqsaywaman is such a place worth visiting, and so is Tupac Amaru Square.

Day 4

To end your 5-day Cusco, Peru tour on a high, we’ll travel to the iconic Rainbow Mountain. While most of the tour has consisted of comfortable drives and guided walks, day five entails a difficult climb.

It’s a 5 km (3.1-mile) climb to the top of the mountain and a 10 km (6.2-mile) trek altogether. If you struggle at any point, we will assist you in any way possible. While it’s a strenuous climb to the top, the views you’ll have at the end will all be worth the effort.

Sun-soaked views of Ausangate will be on display — it’s the highest snow-capped mountain in the region. That’s not the mountain’s true calling card, though. It’s the unique range of colors seen at Rainbow Mountain.

During the hike and drive to and from Rainbow Mountain, you’ll have the opportunity to see alpacas within the Cusco countryside. After a difficult trek with sweeping views, we’ll return back to Cusco, where we’ll conclude your tour and say goodbye until next time.

Day 5

TOUR OVERVIEW

Cusco is a beautiful city located in southeastern Peru, known for its rich history and stunning architecture. So, why not make the most of your time in the city with our 5-day Cusco tour package? Our Cusco excursion tour typically includes a visit to the famous Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, which is accessible by train from Cusco.

During a Cusco tour, you will explore the city’s unique blend of Inca and Spanish colonial architecture, including the impressive Plaza de Armas and the ancient ruins of Sacsayhuaman, Q’enqo, Tambomachay, and Puca Pucara. If you’re just passing through the city, you can always join our half-day Cusco city tour.

During the tour, you can indulge in the delicious local cuisine, which features traditional Peruvian dishes such as ceviche, lomo saltado, and rocoto relleno. Additionally, Cusco is home to a vibrant market scene where you can purchase souvenirs, handicrafts, and textiles.

However, when you tour Cusco for five days with us, you’ll be able to experience all this and more.

From exploring the Sacred Valley to discovering the beauty of Machu Picchu, our 5-day tour has it all. That said, Machu Picchu won’t be the only destination you visit during the five days. You’ll also venture through the Maras Salt Mines, get lost in the South Valley, enjoy some quiet time at Moray, and snap some epic photos at Rainbow Mountain.

As an all-inclusive stay, your lodging and most of your meals will also be catered for. And to add the cherry on top, you’ll have plenty of free time to explore the sights and sounds of Cusco at your own pace.

So, if this sounds like your type of Peruvian getaway, keep reading for more information about this fantastic tour.
