Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

1Travel to Peru’s Sacred Valley
Welcome to Peru, where you'll arrive high in the Andes with crisp mountain air and Cusco’s stone-built city spreading below the peaks. After flying into Cusco Airport, stop by the Costsaver Welcome Desk at San Agustin Urubamba between 2pm and 4pm. At 4pm, join your group transfer into the Sacred Valley, watching city streets give way to patchwork fields and Andean villages. In Urubamba, the evening is yours to spend as you please, surrounded by the mountains of the Sacred Valley.

2Experience Traditions in the Sacred Valley

Spend time with local people as you learn about seasonal agriculture and native medicinal plants before trying your hand at making adobe bricks. Then sit down to a traditional Pachamanca lunch, slow-cooked underground over hot stones, as savory aromas waft through the air. Your visit directly supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. This afternoon, you can choose an Optional Experience to Maras and Moray or spend the rest of the day as you please.

Your journey to Ollantaytambo takes you past cobbled streets winding between old Inca walls and local stalls, with mountain views beyond the town. Spend your free time exploring as you please or choose an Optional Experience to visit the ruins that climb above Ollantaytambo. Then board the PeruRail Expedition Train for the journey to Aguas Calientes, with the river running beside the tracks as you travel through the Sacred Valley. From Aguas Calientes, you'll ride up to Machu Picchu for your included visit, wandering among enormous mortarless stone walls and terraces carved into the mountainside, with steep green peaks enclosing the citadel. Later, return to Aguas Calientes, where the rest of the day is yours.

Follow gentle valley paths past working farms, eucalyptus groves and Quechua villages, their fresh, woody scent drifting through the air as wide Andean landscapes unfold beyond the trail. Later, visit Vicuñita, an environmental project restoring traditional plants and trees native to the Cusco region. Meet llamas, vicuñas, guanacos and alpacas, then spend time learning about local weaving traditions before continuing to Cusco, where the evening is yours.

Continue to Korikancha, once the Inca Empire’s Temple of the Sun, and trace the lines of stone walls fitted so tightly that the joins almost disappear. This afternoon, Cusco is yours. Perhaps you'll choose an Optional Experience to nearby Inca sites and colorful San Blas, or spend the evening mixing local cocktails, and wandering Cusco’s streets.
