This immersive itinerary highlights the very best that the Cusco region of Peru has to offer. The cornerstone of any itinerary here must include Machu Picchu, the most important archaeological monument in South America. With two days to explore the site, you'll have ample opportunity to inspect the intricate stonework and wonder at the splendor of this complex in the clouds.

Accompanied by our expert local guides who specialize in archaeology, history and Andean culture, you'll visit ancient Incan settlements and agricultural sites like Moray and Pisac. Ascend high above the Sacred Urubamba Valley to a remote Quechua village where locals still keep to the traditional way of life as they have for thousands of years. Your guides will help you understand what daily life is like here and you may even get to try your hand at weaving, farming or playing an Andean flute. Explore the fascinating markets of the Sacred Valley and Cusco where it's easy to find vibrant hand-woven and dyed textiles and warm alpaca-fleece sweaters. 

This is the perfect itinerary for those who are not as keen on trekking in the Andes and you’ll stay in comfortable boutique hotels throughout. Use this as a suggestion for creating the perfect Andean adventure with extensions to the Amazon and Lake Titicaca also possible.
