Day 1 : Cusco Arrival

Fly to historic Cusco, former center of the Inca Empire. Spend the afternoon wandering cobblestone streets, local markets, and learning about Cusco’s incredible history.

Day 2 : Sacred Valley of the Incas

Traverse the beautiful Sacred Valley, stopping at interesting Inca ruins, an artisan market and cascading salt ponds. Enjoy a traditional lunch with a local family, for insight into local culture. After a filling breakfast, begin in the town of Maras, which you’ll pass through before arriving at the town’s still-in-use salt pans. The clusters of evaporation pools that cover the hillside are still harvested by locals using ancient techniques developed over centuries.

From there, continue to the ancient agricultural site of Moray. Experts today believe these terraced amphitheaters built into natural depressions served as a farming laboratory, with the varying temperatures and soils in different terraces providing growing environments.

After a filling traditional lunch with a local family, continue to Ollantaytambo, one of the few remaining places in the Sacred Valley that retains its original Inca layout. Walk through the maze-like streets which come complete with Inca-era canals and view the ancient houses still in use today. With your guide, climb past the agricultural terraces toward the Temple of Sun, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the valley. Overnight Sacred Valley.

Day 3: Llama Blessing & Community Visit

After breakfast, depart with your guide up a winding dirt road. As the road ascends, enjoy gorgeous views of the Patacancha Valley and Sacred Valley below. We’ll be met by a group of locals for a truly unique experience: a llama blessing ceremony, followed by a delicious pachamanca feast. The purpose of the ceremony is to ask for the protection and health of the community’s llamas, which are gathered in a large group for the ceremony. After singing and dancing, we’ll enjoy a traditional Pachamanca lunch with community members.

Next, we’ll return to Ollanytaytambo for an incredibly scenic train ride to Aguas Calientes, the town located at he base of Machu Picchu. You’ll have the evening free to rest up and prepare for Machu Picchu early the following morning.

This fascinating island is considered one of the most important religious sites in South America. According to Inca religion, it is the birthplace of the sun god Inti.

After exploring the city, head to Valle de las Animas. Filled with clusters of towering stone formations and deep crevasses, “Valley of the Souls” is a fitting name for the area. From there, return to La Paz to rest and prepare for the Uyuni Salt Flats the following morning!

Day 9: Uyuni Tour

This morning, depart La Paz for awe-inspiring Uyuni. The largest salt flat on Earth, Salar de Uyuni affords visitors with stunning scenery unmatched anywhere else in the world. Covering 12,000 square kilometers (4,633 square miles) of Bolivian Altiplano, the vast salt flats are an awe-inspiring natural phenomenon and extremely photogenic at any time of year. In the dry season, surreal pentagons of crystalline salt form, while in rainy season the salt flats see a layer of water develop which acts as a natural mirror, reflecting the sky for a fantastic, other-worldly visual display.

Today, you’ll travel across the shimmering white salt flats to cactus-covered Incahuasi Island. In the dry season you’ll observe natural springs along the way, and can reach Incahuasi Island, famous for its giant cacti. A short walk here offers incredible views of the salt flats.

During wet season, thanks to the layer of water covering the crystalline salt, you cannot drive across the salt flats. However, its possible to enjoy the spectacular mirror-like sight and photography opportunities produced by standing water. Your exact route will be adapted to the weather conditions and season at the time of your visit. At the end of the day, take in sunset over the salt flats.

“We had private transportation to Lake Titicaca, which I was so happy we chose over a train trip. The scenery was beautiful, we stopped in little towns and catacombs along the way (a little scary, but also fascinating). Uyuni was probably the highlight of the trip for me, as the natural scenery was unbelivable. Pictures do not do it justice. Flamingos, huge blue skies, coloured lakes, and the amazing salt flats.”
