The Route

Distance: ~300–500 km

Duration: 4–6 days

 

Cusco

Once the capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco is a vibrant city of cobbled streets, colonial churches, and Inca ruins. It’s also the spiritual and cultural gateway to the Sacred Valley.

​

Pisac

Known for its traditional market and spectacular Inca terraces. Wander the ruins above the town and enjoy sweeping views of the Sacred Valley — a place where Andean culture still thrives.

 

Ollantaytambo

A perfectly preserved Inca town with a massive fortress above. The town’s layout remains unchanged for centuries. It’s a key stop before Machu Picchu and a fascinating site in its own right.

​

Santa Teresa

A jungle village offering an off-the-beaten-path route to Machu Picchu. Relax in nearby Cocalmayo Hot Springs after a long hike, and enjoy the lush transition from Andes to cloud forest.

​

Machu Picchu

The legendary Inca citadel needs no introduction. Perched above misty mountains, its terraces, temples, and spiritual atmosphere leave a lasting impression. Arrive by train, hike, or trail — it’s the ultimate finale
