Visit Pisac Archaeological Site and Calca Market (from Sacred Valley)
High in the Sacred Valley, the archaeological site of Pisac stretches across well-preserved terraces that follow the natural shape of the mountain. Once an important ceremonial and agricultural centre, it holds the only known Inca sun dial outside of Machu Picchu, overlooking a valley still guided by its cycles.
Further down, Calca offers a closer look at everyday life. Its market is active and authentic, with stalls offering herbs, flowers and seasonal produce. Tradition here is lived rather than displayed, forming a natural part of the community’s daily rhythm.
Please allow approximately four hours for the entire experience.

Visit Chinchero, Moray & Maras
Set in the highlands, Chinchero combines open landscapes with traces of Inca architecture and daily village life. On market days, you’ll find textiles displayed in the main square, local families gathered, and a steady pace shaped by longstanding customs.
Nearby, visit the circular terraces of Moray, once used for agricultural experimentation, and continue to the salt ponds of Maras, where hundreds of pools are still harvested by hand. Both sites reflect a deep relationship between people, land and tradition.
Please allow approximately six hours for the entire experience.
Explore Machu Picchu
Meet your guide at the exit of the train station or in the lobby of your hotel for a short walk to the bus station and a 20-minute bus ride up to Machu Picchu Citadel (elevation: 8,000 ft. – 2,432 m.a.s.l.). Scratching the surface of the heavens from its place atop the grandest of mountaintop pedestals, it is easy to lose yourself in the mystique and grandeur of this enigmatic citadel. Soak in the energy and atmosphere of one of the most significant archeological sites on the planet while your guide helps you uncover the secrets behind key areas of interest such as the Sun Dial, the Guard House, the Sacred Plaza and the Temple of the Sun.
Please allow approximately three hours for the guided route and four hours for the entire experience | You must show your passport in order to be allowed to enter Machu Picchu Citadel.

Conquering Machu Picchu Mountain
From the gates of Machu Picchu, a quiet ascent begins. In the company of your local guide, follow stone steps that rise steadily toward Machu Picchu Mountain, a trail that traces the upper flanks of the citadel and occasionally follows the original Inca route. At the summit, a wide panoramic view opens over the valley and the site below, allowing a deeper sense of place and scale. The way back unfolds at a slower pace, with time to take in the stillness and surrounding peaks.
Please allow up to four hours hiking and up to five hours for the entire experience.
