2 Days Mahupicchu
We depart from Cusco at 9:00 in the morning heading to the charming town of Ollantaytambo in your private transport, nestled in the heart of the Sacred Valley. From there, we’ll embark on a train journey to Aguas Calientes, a unique experience that will treat us to unparalleled scenery along the way. Following the course of the Urubamba River through the Sacred Valley, we’ll arrive in Aguas Calientes around 2:00 PM. After checking into our hotel, you’ll have the entire afternoon to explore at your leisure. For those looking to make the most of their free time, you can opt to visit the Machu Picchu Museum, the orchid exhibition, or the butterfly exhibit, all just a 40-minute walk from the town. Alternatively, you can unwind in the thermal baths, just a 5-minute walk from the town center.
Itinerary
Begin your journey from Cusco, a city brimming with colonial charm and Inca history. Board a comfortable vehicle and set off towards the Sacred Valley. The early start ensures you make the most of your day, allowing ample time to explore multiple sites.
Arrive in Pisac, a town renowned for its bustling market and impressive archaeological site. Start with a visit to the vibrant market, where you can browse through stalls filled with handcrafted goods, traditional textiles, and fresh local produce. Engage with local artisans and perhaps pick up a unique souvenir. After exploring the market, head to the nearby archaeological site. The Pisac ruins feature extensive agricultural terraces, well-preserved temples, and intricate stonework, offering insight into the ingenuity of the Inca civilization.
Next, journey to the Chinchero Plateau, home to the historical town of Chinchero. This town is believed to be the mythical birthplace of the rainbow and is rich in Inca heritage. Visit the main plaza, where you’ll find an impressive stone wall adorned with ten trapezoidal niches. Explore the colonial church built on Inca foundations, and enjoy panoramic views of the Sacred Valley, with the Cordillera Urubamba and the snow-capped peak of Salkantay gracing the horizon. Learn about Chinchero’s cultural significance and its role in Inca history.
The second day promises to be the most magical of all: Machu Picchu! We’ll rise early to catch the first bus to this spectacular archaeological site and witness the sunrise over the ancient ruins. However, if you prefer to enjoy a bit more rest, we can opt for a later schedule for our visit.
Your guide will accompany you for approximately 2 hours, unveiling its secrets and highlighting the most fascinating points of Machu Picchu. Afterwards, you’ll have free time to explore the rest of the ruins at your own pace, and even ascend Huaynapicchu if you’ve booked this special option (a separate entrance ticket, available for $65 per person).
Back in Aguas Calientes, we’ll board the train back to Ollantaytambo, followed by a bus ride back to Cusco. Once there, we’ll transfer you back to your hotel, concluding this day full of adventures and discoveries.
