Some of the most popular tours in Cusco include the Sacred Valley tour, which includes archaeological and local sites like Pisac, Ollantaytambo, and Chinchero with the markets, the city tour of Cusco where you see sites such as Qorikancha, Sacsayhuamán and the Cathedral, as well as day trips that explore natural wonders such as Rainbow Mountain or Humantay Lake. For a lot of travelers, the tour of Machu Picchu is the highlight of their trip and can be done either as a day trip from Cusco or part of his multi day itinerary that includes the Sacred Valley. Both experiences will offer a balanced experience of history, culture, and nature.

Yes, Machu Picchu tours from Cusco are possible in a day trip. Tours in one day time usually include the early morning train tickets to Aguas Calientes, bus transportation to the entrance, and a tour of the citadel of Machu Picchu. Although the day is long and sometimes an early start, it is the best option for travelers who cannot spend a longer period of time in Peru and want to see the most famous sites in Peru. However, multi-day options allow for a slower experience which gives the traveler time to explore the Sacred Valley before arriving at Machu Picchu.

Cusco is high up 11,155 feet (3,400 meters)! Look, everyone feels the altitude a little.

Our Cusco tours are timed to help you adjust, but taking it easy upfront makes a huge difference.
