Touch down in the heart of the Andes and step back in time.

Your 4-day adventure begins the moment you land! We recommend booking a flight that arrives before noon so you can settle in comfortably.

🤝 A Warm Andean Welcome

Forget the stress of navigating a new airport. As soon as you exit the baggage claim, look for our friendly team holding a blackboard with your name on it. We will whisk you away to your hotel for a smooth check-in.

• Acclimatization: Upon arrival, we’ll serve you a steaming cup of Coca Tea (Mate de Coca). This ancient Andean leaf is the local secret for adjusting to the high altitude. Relax, unpack, and get ready for the afternoon.

🏛️ Afternoon City Exploration (1:30 PM)

After a brief rest, we pick you up for a 4.5-hour journey through the history of the Incas and the Spanish conquest. This isn’t just a sightseeing trip; it’s a walk through time.

We will visit:

🌽 Day 2: The Sacred Valley of the Incas & Train to Machu Picchu

Journey through the fertile heart of the Andes, where the corn grows tall and history lives on.

Get your camera ready! At 8:00 AM, we whisk you away from Cusco for a day of breathtaking landscapes and cultural immersion. We head toward the Urubamba Valley, known as the «Breadbasket of the Incas.»

• The Big Question: As we drive, ask yourself—why does this valley still feed the region today? You will see the answer in the endless fields of giant corn and fresh vegetables lining the riverbanks.

🦙 Stop 1: Awanakancha (The Palace of Weaving)

We continue deeper into the valley to the town of Urubamba for a delightful lunch break (buffet options are usually available to taste local Peruvian cuisine).

⚔️ Stop 3: Ollantaytambo (The Living Inca City)

In the afternoon, we explore Ollantaytambo. This is one of the few places where the Incas defeated the Spanish conquistadors in battle. The massive stone terraces and the Temple of the Sun at the top are awe-inspiring.

• Look Around: The town below is still inhabited and maintains its original Inca street plan and water channels.

🚂 The Scenic Route to Aguas Calientes

As the sun begins to dip, we board the expedition train. Enjoy a relaxing ride as the landscape transforms from the dry Andean mountains to the lush, green cloud forest. We arrive in Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Town), where we check into the hotel and get a good night’s sleep before the big day.

🚂 Choose Your Journey: Train Options

The train ride to Machu Picchu is part of the magic. Which view do you want?

🎒 The Ultimate Packing Guide: 4 Days in the Andes

Pack smart, travel light, and be ready for anything.

For your 4-Day Cusco Classic Tour, logistics are key. Most travelers bring a small to medium-sized wheeled suitcase (approx. 20kg limit per airline standards). This fits perfectly in our private transport.

The Golden Rule: You will need to manage your own luggage at airports and hotel lobbies, so we suggest traveling as light as possible!

• The System: Bring a Daypack (20-30L). You will carry this during the day with your water, camera, and rain jacket, while your main suitcase stays safe at the hotel or in our transport.

✅ The «Must-Haves» (Essential)

Don’t leave home without these.

• 🆔 Original Passport: This is non-negotiable! You need it to board the train and enter Machu Picchu. (Keep it dry and safe in a ziplock bag inside your daypack).

• 👟 Sturdy Closed Shoes: Whether navigating Cusco’s cobblestones or the grassy trails of Pisac, good traction is crucial. Closed shoes protect you from cuts, scrapes, and the occasional bug bite.

• ☀️ Sun Defense: The Andean sun is strong! Pack a wide-brimmed hat, high-SPF sunscreen, and UV-protection sunglasses.

• 💵 Local Cash (Soles): While credit cards work in restaurants, you’ll want small coins and bills for souvenirs, water, or using public restrooms.

• 📸 Camera/Phone: To capture the magic. (Don’t forget extra memory cards or cloud storage space!).

• 🦟 Insect Repellent: Essential for the lower altitude of Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu.

🧠 Smart Additions (Recommended)

• ♻️ Reusable Water Bottle (1.5L): Be an eco-hero.

  • Why? The sale of bottled water is a global environmental challenge. Making just one plastic bottle consumes huge amounts of water and oil, and many end up in landfills. Help us keep the Andes clean by refilling!

• 📄 Document Backups: Keep digital or hard copies of your passport, flight tickets, and insurance separate from the originals. It makes life much easier if anything gets lost.

• 🔌 Electrical Adapter: Peru uses Types A and C.

• 💊 Personal Medical Kit: Your guide carries a master first-aid kit, but bring your own basics: mild painkillers (for headaches), electrolytes (for hydration), bandaids, and any personal medication.

• ⏰ Timekeeper: A phone or travel alarm to ensure you wake up for those magical early mornings.

🤷 Optional Comforts

• Earplugs: A lifesaver if your roommate (or the person in the next room) is a snorer!

• Phrasebook: A little Spanish or Quechua goes a long way with the locals.

💡 Valuable Tips for Your Valuables

• Leave the «Bling» at Home: Avoid bringing expensive jewelry or unnecessary electronics.

• Use the Safe: Utilize your hotel room safe for passports and extra cash when you are out for dinner.

• Money Belt: A discreet pouch under your clothes is the safest way to carry large amounts of cash while in transit.

🧺 A Note on Laundry

Need to freshen up your gear?

• Hotel Service: Available at most 3-star hotels, but usually charged per item (expensive) and takes 24 hours.

• Local Laundromats: You can find «Lavanderias» in Cusco that charge per kilo (approx. $2 USD/kg). They are affordable and efficient, but since our tour moves quickly, only use this if you have a 2-night layover or time after the tour.

ESSENTIAL TRAVEL INSIGHTS FOR THE 4-DAY CUSCO CLASSIC TOUR

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR YOUR ADVENTURE:

• Provide your full passport name, including all names, when booking Machu Picchu permits and train tickets to avoid extra charges or new tickets within 45 days of departure.
• Desire privacy? Choose a single supplement for your tour nights, if available. Contact your reservation agent for details.
• The 4-day Cusco Classic Tour includes a Machu Picchu visit. You’ll follow a set route for safety, with no exiting and re-entering. Independent exploration after requires arrangements.

CAN I ADJUST THE DEPARTURE DATE?

Unfortunately, once you’re locked in with your Machu Picchu tickets, no changes to the departure date are permitted due to strict regulations. Please note that these tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable. Should plans change, remember that deposits are non-refundable.

DO I NEED MY ORIGINAL PASSPORT?

Yes, your original passport is your key to Machu Picchu and other reservations. If updating your passport, just submit your old details to secure access, although changes may incur a $25 fee. No fee? No problem, as long as you bring both old and new passports. Without both, entry to Machu Picchu and train access can’t be guaranteed.

ABOUT ALTITUDE SICKNESS.

Altitude sickness is an adventure’s potential challenge, particularly above 2,500 meters. Regardless of fitness, it can hit anyone, especially if acclimatization isn’t prioritized. Pre-trip doctor consultations are highly recommended, and check that your insurance covers altitude-related medical emergencies.

MEALS NOT INCLUDED:

When it comes to dining on this trip, budget around 25 to 50 USD daily, keeping your tastes in mind.

– Breakfast could run you $5-$10 at a cozy local coffee spot.

– For lunch, enjoy local flavors for $5-$10 at a charming café or more touristy settings for $10-$15.

– Dinner is an opportunity! Let your guide recommend local delights from restaurants where main courses typically range from $12 to $25.

These are guide prices, of course. Whether you’re seeking budget-friendly bites or culinary excellence, Cusco caters to every palate with its vibrant range.

TIPPING.

Tipping, while not obligatory, is highly appreciated for outstanding service and deep-rooted in the local tourism culture. It’s a great way to express gratitude. Should you feel inspired by the quality of your tour experience, tipping is welcomed. Exceptional service deserves recognition, don’t you think?
