Private Day Trips in Cusco

Discover the iconic land of the Incan empire on a full-day tour to mystifying world wonder, Machu Picchu, from Cusco. Travel by train to the beautiful town of Aguas Calientes, located at the foot of the ancient Incan site, and then ascend to the atmospheric majesty of Machu Picchu. Gaze at the sacred terraces and dramatic rock formations as you listen to illuminating commentary and enjoy a delicious picnic lunch.

Experience ancient Inca culture and a slice of daily life for residents of the Peru's Sacred Valley during this flexible-length private tour. Get off the well-worn tourist trail as you explore the quaint Sacred Valley hamlets of Chincheros and Maras. Observe the traditional dress of the villagers in Chincheros and try practicing a few words of 'Quechua,' the local Andean dialect. You'll then have lunch at a typical residence in Maras before visiting the Inca-era salt ponds and the circular Inca terraces of Moray. Your private tour, easily customized based on your interests and schedule, also covers a guide, all entrance fees, transport by private van and lunch.

Depart from Cusco to see and explore one of the 7 New World Wonders: the lost city of Machu Picchu. Enjoy transport to Ollantaytambo, where you'll board a train and journey toward the ancient Inca citadel. Once reaching Aguas Calientes, a bus carries you up steep roads winding through lush rainforest and offering glimpses of spectacular scenery before arriving at the iconic site. Embark on a two-hour guided private tour, then take some time to discover Machu Picchu on your own. This day trip also includes return transport.

Machu Picchu is Peru's headline act, but you don't have to trek the Inca Trail to visit the Lost City of the Incas. This private full-day tour from Cusco includes a spectacular train ride through the Sacred Valley, a tasty buffet lunch, and a private tour of the UNESCO-listed archaeological site. Hotel pickup and drop-off is included.
