Day 1. We pick you up early in the morning, driving out of Cusco, passing en route, the fascinating archaeological ruins of Sacsayhuaman where a decisive battle between Inca rebels and Spanish rebels was fought. We descend into the Sacred Valley of the Incas and stop to shop in the beautiful village of Pisac and if time permits visit the Pisac Inca ruins. This is famous for its handmade ceramic plates, pots and jewelry. Every Thursdays and Sundays Pisac plaza boasts the highly photographed colorful local market. If you would prefer some exercise your guide could show you the extensive ruins of Pisac high on the hill above.

From Pisac we drive along the Rio Urubamba, stopping for lunch en route and so to Ollantaytambo, sight of the last battle between Incas and Spanish before the remaining Incas rebels fled into the jungles of Vilcabamba. In this well-preserved village and ruins you can still feel the true magic of the Incas. (L / D)

Day 2. We continue our journey down the Urubamba valley by early morning tourist train to the fabled "Lost City of the Incas- Machu Picchu". A short bus ride takes you direct to the ruins. Once there your guide gives you an extensive walking tour of the ruin and explains the fascinating history of the Incas to you. If time permits you may wish to explore further to the Inca Bridge, walk back up the Inca Trail to the sun gate or try the strenuous climb to the top of Huayna Picchu for an awe-inspiring Condor's eye view of Machu Picchu. Some may prefer to just relax and take in the awesome location. We provide a late lunch in Aguas Calientes from where you catch the afternoon train back to Cusco.

Employing a local expert guide we explore this fascinating complex of ruins whose location defies the imagination- bring plenty of film. There is plenty of time to take side hikes to an interesting Inca Hanging bridge, back up the Inca trail to the sun gate or a strenuous climb to the top of Huayna Picchu for an awe-inspiring Condor's eye view of Machu Picchu. After a late lunch in Aguas Calientes we catch the afternoon train back to Cusco and we drop you off at the hotel of your choice. (B / L)
