Next, you will take a full-day guided tour in the Sacred Valley to learn about Inca civilisation and the ruins that remain plus the quaint tongue-twister town of Ollantaytambo.
Board the train and wind your way through impressive scenery to Aguas Calientes. Enjoy a guided tour of Machu Picchu and the climb up to Huayna Picchu before returning to Cuzco.
Travel by bus through the altiplano to Puno, which sits on the shore of Lake Titicaca. The spectacular scenery provides more than ample reward.
Last but not least, take a boat trip to the floating islands of Uros and then to the island of Taquile. You’ll visit the locals with their handmade crafts and famous textiles, to experience their unique culture and way of life.
