You will be transferred to the Sacred Valley of the Incas and visit the village of Chinchero, which was one of the most important populations during the Inca Empire. However, as much of its annexes, it was also a victim of the "extirpation of idolatries", action that replaced the traditional deities by Catholic ones to transform the popular beliefs. In this way important monuments and buildings completely disappeared.

 

Lunch and dinner will be provided at the hotel. The rest of the afternoon is at your leisure to enjoy the hotel facilities.

Aguas Calientes is also known as "Machu Picchu pueblo" and is the last stop before the entrance to the remains of the most important archaeological site in Peru.

 

Finally, after a short transfer you will reach Machu Picchu, a masterpiece of engineering and architecture that is believed to have served as a sanctuary and retreat for the Inca Pachacutec (1438 - 1572). Machu Picchu, which means "Old Mountain", is considered a World Heritage by UNESCO and one of the new Seven Wonders of the World.

Afterward, enjoy lunch at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge restaurant.

 

In the afternoon return by Vistadome train and be transferred to your hotel in Cusco.  A boxed dinner will be provided this evening.

This is when the Sun (Inti, in Quechua) was worshipped during the Inca Empire and at the time of the Incas, its walls were fully covered with gold sheets and its courtyards were planted with golden corn and life-size llamas.

 

Afterwards visit the Cathedral, the most important building on the Main Square and one of the most splendid Spanish colonial churches in America, which is shaped as a Latin Cross and houses about 400 colonial paintings from the Cusco art school, an impressive goldsmith, silversmith and precious stones works.
