Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in the Ancient Capital & Private City Exploration
Upon arrival at Cusco Airport, your private host will welcome you for a seamless transfer to your premium hotel. After some time to settle in and begin acclimatizing, your expert guide will meet you for an exclusive afternoon tour. Highlights: Explore the UNESCO-listed Cathedral and the sun-drenched Qoricancha. We then drive to the monumental Sacsayhuaman, the mystical shrines of Qenqo, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay. Evening at your leisure to enjoy Cusco's fine dining scene.
Day 2: Sacred Valley Heritage & Ancestral Culinary Feast
Venture into the Sacred Valley for a day of living culture. Start at the Taray Viewpoint for a panoramic encounter with the Andes. Exclusive Experience: Visit Huchuy Qosqo for a private demonstration of ancestral farming and the brewing of 'Chicha,' the sacred Inca beverage. This is followed by a traditional Pachamanca lunch, cooked underground with hot stones. In the afternoon, we explore the living Inca village of Ollantaytambo before retiring for the evening.
Day 3: The Sanctuary of Machu Picchu
A day dedicated to the crown jewel. Enjoy a scenic journey aboard the Vistadome Observatory train through the valley. Upon reaching the sanctuary, your private guide will lead an exclusive, unhurried exploration of the temples and terraces, revealing the mysteries of this wonder. After the tour, enjoy lunch in the village at your leisure before returning to Cusco via panoramic train and private vehicle.
Day 4: Leisurely Morning & Private Departure
Enjoy a final morning at your own pace—perhaps a stroll through the San Blas artisan quarter or a specialty Andean coffee. At the scheduled time, your private chauffeur will provide a seamless transfer to the airport for your outbound flight, ensuring your journey concludes with the same comfort and ease with which it began.

Una experiencia diferente y relajante🙂↕️
Tomamos el tour al valle con picnic al aire libre y las vistas fueron impresionantes!. La tranquilidad del lugar hizo que todo se sintiera tan diferente y especial! Lo único fue que el tiempo pasó volando, nos hubiera gustado quedarnos un poco más para disfrutar del paisaje con la luz de la noche. Igual, valió mucho la pena y lo recomendaría para quienes quieren algo diferente y tranquilo cerca de Cusco.
Con True Perú Experience, más que un viaje al Valle Sagrado
¡Una experiencia única en el Valle Sagrado! el mercado artesanal y la zona arqueológica fueron verdaderas vivencias gracias a la labor del guía y un transporte cómodo y sin contratiempos. ¡Gracias a True Perú Experience por haber convertido este viaje en un goce total! Esperamos tomar otros destinos con la guía de ellos.
Comodidad, seguridad y puntualidad
Fueron muy atentos e hicieron mi experiencia de viaje muy agradable, me dieron información precisa de cada sitio al que visité, recomiendo usar los servicios que ofrecen.
Tour a Machupicchu
El tour a Machu Picchu en un día está bien organizado y el tren panorámico es lindo. El guía fue amable y explicó bien durante la visita. Me pareció que el tiempo dentro de Machu Picchu fue un poco justo para recorrer todo con tranquilidad pero entiendo que hay un tiempo determinado para los visitantes. En general, cumplió con lo esperado.
excelente sevicio
Fue una experiencia renovadora poder explorar la historia y los paisajes en estos cuatro días, cada destino desde Moray hasta Ollantaytambo nos dejó con ganas de aprender más. Machu Picchu fue sin duda lo más resaltante, aunque en algunos momentos hubo bastante gente, lo que dificultó un poco la tranquilidad para disfrutar, aunque todo se hizo llevadero. Valió la pena!
Gran experiencia.
El tour de 5 días fue realmente genial en general. Los guías eran expertos y amables, y el tour privado por la ciudad de Cusco fue una buena manera de orientarse. Visitar Moray y Maras con el picnic fue una experiencia única, y ver Machu Picchu fue definitivamente un punto culminante. La caminata de un día completo a Vinicunca fue difícil pero gratificante, aunque desearía que hubiera un poco más de tiempo para descansar después. Aun así, el viaje fue bien organizado y cómodo, y sin duda lo recomendaría.

Sacred Valley
I just returned from an incredible 7-day private tour with this agency, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! From the very first moment, everything was perfectly organized, professional, and personalized.
The itinerary included the City Tour of Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Ollantaytambo, Maras, and Moray — each destination was breathtaking and our guide made the history and culture come alive in such an engaging way. Every detail was taken care of, which made the whole trip stress-free and enjoyable.
The highlight for me was definitely the Andean picnic. It was such a unique and magical experience, surrounded by stunning landscapes while enjoying delicious local food. Truly unforgettable!
If you are looking for a private, top-quality, and memorable experience in Cusco, this is the agency to book with. Their passion for what they do really shows, and they made my trip one I’ll never forget.
