Cusco to Lima

Rail is a great way to reach UNESCO–listed Machu Picchu from Cusco, but some of the trains in use are a little uncomfortable. On this tour, travel in style with your first class train ticket—and enjoy extra space and added comfort in your carriage. Savor a gourmet lunch prepared with ingredients from the Andes, and explore Machu Picchu as your guide shares insight into a civilization lost in time.

UNESCO–listed Machu Picchu— the lost city of the Incas—is one of Peru’s must-see attractions, but exploring independently means missing its ancient secrets. On this tour, reach Machu Picchu easily with round-trip travel from Cusco included, and visit the site as your guide shares insight into its rich history. As you explore, discover features like the Circular Tower, the Sacred Solar Clock, and the Temple of the Three Windows.

Go beyond the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu and see even more Inca sites during this private tour along the ‘hidden route’ from Cusco. Stop at the Ancashmarca mountain and hear the legends surrounding the sacred area. Then, head to the Urco site to learn more about Inca agricultural and religious practices. End the tour with demonstrations and cultural performances of pre-Hispanic Peru at a local museum.
