Trip Itinerary
TRIP ITINERARY
Cusco Airport or Bus Station → Hotel Transfer → Check-in → Free Time → Acclimatization → Overnight in Cusco
Welcome to Cusco, the historic capital of the Inca Empire and the starting point of your five-day adventure through some of Peru’s most famous destinations.
Upon your arrival at Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport in Cusco or at the Cusco bus station, a representative from our team will be waiting for you to welcome you and provide your transfer directly to your hotel.
After arriving at your hotel, you can check in, settle into your room, and take some time to relax after your journey.
The remainder of the day is intentionally left free. Cusco is located approximately 3,400 meters (11,155 feet) above sea level, so having a relaxed first day gives your body time to gradually adjust to the altitude before beginning the more active parts of the itinerary.
Depending on your arrival time and how you feel, you can rest at your hotel or take a gentle walk through Cusco’s historic center. You may visit the Plaza de Armas, walk through the traditional streets surrounding the main square, enjoy a local restaurant or café, or simply relax and prepare for the following day’s adventure.
This first day is designed to give you a comfortable introduction to Cusco while allowing enough time for acclimatization.

Today you will explore one of the most historically important and visually impressive regions of Peru: the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
After breakfast at your hotel, you will be picked up in Cusco to begin your journey toward the Sacred Valley. As you leave the city and descend toward the valley, the landscape changes dramatically, revealing impressive mountains, agricultural terraces, traditional Andean communities, and spectacular views of the Urubamba Valley.
Exploring the Sacred Valley
The Sacred Valley played an essential role during the Inca Empire due to its fertile agricultural lands, strategic location, and connection between Cusco and Machu Picchu.
Throughout the journey, your guide will explain the history of the valley, the importance of its archaeological sites, and how the Incas developed sophisticated agricultural and architectural techniques adapted to the mountainous terrain.
Visit to Chinchero
One of the main stops of the day will be Chinchero, an important archaeological complex located high above the Sacred Valley.

The elevated location also provides spectacular panoramic views across the valley, making Chinchero one of the most scenic archaeological sites in the region.

Your guide will take you through the main areas of the site while explaining its history and significance.
Train from Ollantaytambo to Machu Picchu Pueblo
After visiting Ollantaytambo, you will head to the train station and board your train to Machu Picchu Pueblo, also known as Aguas Calientes.
The train journey is one of the most beautiful parts of the experience. The route follows the Urubamba River as the high Andean scenery gradually transitions into the lush cloud forest surrounding Machu Picchu.
Upon arrival in Aguas Calientes, you will walk or be assisted to your hotel, where you can check in and relax.

What to Pack
CUSCO, SACRED VALLEY, MACHU PICCHU & HUMANTAY LAKE TOUR 5 DAYS – WHAT TO PACK
For this 5-day / 4-night adventure, you will experience different environments and altitudes, from the city of Cusco and the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu and the high-altitude trail to Humantay Lake. Weather conditions can change considerably throughout the trip, so we recommend packing light while being prepared for both warm and cold conditions.
- Comfortable Hiking Shoes: Bring comfortable walking or hiking shoes with good grip. You will walk on stone pathways, stairs, archaeological sites, and uneven terrain, and you will also complete a high-altitude hike to Humantay Lake.
- Small Daypack: A comfortable lightweight daypack is recommended for carrying your passport, water, snacks, camera, sunscreen, rain protection, extra layers, and personal items during daily excursions.
- Warm Clothing for Humantay Lake: Temperatures around Humantay Lake can be considerably colder than in Cusco and Machu Picchu. Bring a warm jacket or fleece, especially for the early-morning departure and the high-altitude sections of the hike.

- Waterproof Jacket or Rain Poncho: Weather in the Andes can change quickly. A lightweight waterproof jacket or rain poncho is strongly recommended, particularly during the rainy season.
- Sun Protection: Bring high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat or cap. UV exposure is strong at high elevations, even when temperatures are cool or the sky is cloudy.
- Insect Repellent: Recommended particularly for Machu Picchu Pueblo (Aguas Calientes) and Machu Picchu, where the climate is warmer and more humid than in Cusco.
- Refillable Water Bottle: Staying properly hydrated is especially important at altitude. Carry a reusable water bottle during your tours and particularly during the Humantay Lake hike.
- Original Passport: Your original passport or valid identification document is essential for train travel and entrance to Machu Picchu. The information must match the details provided when your reservation was made.
- Camera or Smartphone: Bring a camera or smartphone to capture the landscapes of the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Humantay Lake, and the surrounding Andes.
- Personal Medication: Bring any prescription medication or personal medicine you may need during the five-day trip. Travelers concerned about altitude should consult a healthcare professional before traveling.
- Snacks for the Humantay Lake Hike: Energy bars, nuts, dried fruit, chocolate, or other lightweight snacks are useful during the hike and longer travel days.
- Warm Hat, Gloves & Scarf: These items are particularly useful during the early-morning journey and hike to Humantay Lake, where temperatures can be low due to the altitude.
- Walking Poles: Walking poles are optional but highly recommended for the Humantay Lake hike, especially for the downhill sections and travelers who prefer additional stability.
- Cash in Peruvian Soles: Carry some local currency for snacks, drinks, souvenirs, tips, optional services, horse rental at Humantay Lake, and other small expenses where credit cards may not be accepted.
- Portable Charger / Power Bank: A portable charger is useful for keeping your phone, camera, or other electronic devices charged during full-day excursions and the journey to Machu Picchu.
Important Recommendation – Luggage for Machu Picchu: For your overnight stay in Machu Picchu Pueblo (Aguas Calientes), we recommend traveling with only a small backpack or overnight bag and leaving your main luggage securely stored at your hotel in Cusco whenever possible. Train services to Machu Picchu have luggage restrictions, and traveling light will make your journey much more comfortable.
Important Recommendation – Humantay Lake: Humantay Lake is located at approximately 4,200 meters (13,780 feet) above sea level, making it the highest and most physically demanding activity of this 5-day package.
