SACRED VALLEY | ANCIENT WEAVING TECHNIQUES

MACHU PICCHU | EXPLORING THE LOSTCITY

Continue exploring the Sacred Valley with a visit to the imposing fortress of Ollantaytambo, a formidable stone structure of massive terraces that hug the mountain slopes. Then, journey deep into the Andes toward Machu Picchu via the glass-topped Vistadome train, passing through spectacular Peruvian countryside along the way. Arrive with plenty of time to begin exploring the breathtaking Incan city. Overlooking the Urubamba River and discovered in a hidden tangle of trees atop the mountain, Machu Picchu forever holds the secret of its passing — its Incan inhabitants left no written records of its purpose or its flawless construction. After a tour of the ruins with your expert guide, there is time to explore on your own.

Belmond Sanctuary Lodge | Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner DAY 6

MACHU PICCHU / CUSCO | MARVELOUS MOUNTAIN VISTAS

Rise with the sun to walk through Machu Picchu in the early morning mist before the crowds arrive. You may opt for a hike to Inti Punku (Sun Gate), the entry point to the ruins from the Inca Trail, or trek up to Huayna Picchu, the high mountain that forms the backbone of the ruins.

After your explorations, journey back to Cusco aboard the Vistadome train, savoring incomparable views of the mountain scenery.

Discover Cusco, touring the Cathedral on the Plaza de Armas and the Santo Domingo Temple, a Dominican church built on the foundations of the Koricancha, the Incas’ principal religious building. Later, explore the awe-inspiring ruins of Sacsayhuaman, a testament to Incan architectural skill. Comprised of gigantic stone blocks, the walls were cut and placed together with incredible precision and without a single drop of mortar.

Belmond Hotel Monasterio | Meals: Breakfast DAY 8

CUSCO / LIMA | COLORFUL, BOHEMIAN BARRANCO

Begin your exploration of the Sacred Valley of the Incas with a visit to a remote village seemingly frozen in time. Discover the ancient agricultural methods used for centuries in this challenging, mountainous environment. Then, delve deeper into local culture with lunch at a local hacienda. After lunch, experience the traditional, local lifestyle in the charming nearby town of Chinchero.

Return to Lima and explore the artsy Barranco neighborhood, with its intimate galleries, eclectic museums and the famous Puente de los Suspiros (Bridge of Sighs). Enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

Perhaps take this opportunity to get in some last minute shopping at a local crafts market or sample some of Peru’s culinary delights.
