YOUR JOURNEY, DAY BY DAY
Explore the route and the details of each stage of your experience.
Highlight of the day: Discover Cusco on our exciting City Tour, where history, culture, and beauty blend in every corner of the city.
It will be our pleasure to welcome you to the imperial city of Cusco (3,399 m / 11,151 ft). Today, we await your arrival at the airport or bus terminal, ready to assist you with your transfer to your hotel. Cusco is located in the heart of the Andes. Because of this, we know the importance of proper acclimatization before diving into this adventure. Therefore, we will spend the first day enjoying the city of Cusco while you adjust to the altitude.
In the afternoon, after settling into your hotel, we will explore Cusco on a City Tour, visiting the city’s highlights. We begin at the famous Qoricancha (3,390 m / 11,122 ft), which during the Inca Empire was a prominent place of worship dedicated to the sun god, Inti.
We will then continue our tour by visiting Sacsayhuaman (3,700 m / 12,139 ft), considered a ceremonial fortress in its time. Next, we will explore Qenqo, Tambomachay (3,812 m / 12,507 ft), and Puca Pucara, each with its own historical and archaeological significance.
Highlight of the day: Learn about local fauna with a visit to the Cochahuasi Sanctuary.
After breakfast, we head to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Our first stop is the “Cochahuasi Animal Sanctuary” (3,360 m / 11,020 ft), home to native species such as pumas, Andean condors, and alpacas. Pisac is renowned for its famous craft market and its Archaeological Site (2,972 m / 9,751 ft).
Next, we visit the town of Ollantaytambo (2,792 m / 9,160 ft), also called the “Living Inca City.” Here, we will explore its ceremonial centers for about 1 hour. We then board the train to Machu Picchu (Aguas Calientes).
In the afternoon, you can opt to visit and relax in the town’s hot springs and rest at the hotel.
Highlight of the day: Visit the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, a place brimming with history and mystery.
Today we wake up early for breakfast and then head to one of the first buses from Aguas Calientes to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu (2,430 m / 7,972 ft).
Once we present our tickets and passports at the entrance, our guide will begin explaining the history of this Inca wonder as we visit Machu Picchu’s most important sectors, such as the classic lookout point, the Guardian’s House, the Temple of the Sun lookout, the Sacred Rock, or the Water Mirrors Complex.
After your guided tour, you’ll have time to climb Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain, provided you have purchased the appropriate ticket for one of these sites. These extra routes in Machu Picchu are optional, have an additional cost, and must be booked in advance due to limited availability.
Once the visit to this Wonder of the World is over, you will return by bus to the town of Aguas Calientes for lunch with your group. During lunch, you’ll share unique moments and forge bonds of friendship with your fellow travelers.
DAY 4 OF 6
Experience the best of the Sacred Valley and let yourself be enchanted by the magic of Maras and Moray.
After breakfast, we will take the train back to the town of Ollantaytambo (2,792 m / 9,160 ft). From there, we will begin our bus tour, with our first stop at the Moray Archaeological Site. The giant circular terraces of Moray (3,500 m / 11,483 ft) showcase the advanced agricultural engineering of the Incas.
We then descend to the Maras Salt Mines (3,500 m / 11,483 ft), home to more than 3,000 salt ponds used for human consumption since pre-Inca times. After having enough time to appreciate the landscape of the salt mines, we will head to the picturesque town of Chinchero (3,762 m / 12,342 ft), the “Rainbow Town.” There, we will admire Chinchero’s church and extensive Inca constructions. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in the process of making fine Andean textiles.
Finally, in the afternoon, we return to our hotel in Cusco.
Highlight of the day: Admire the 7-Color Mountain, a natural wonder.
Very early in the morning, we will pick you up at your Cusco hotel and head south, passing through stunning valleys and Andean towns.
After having breakfast near the town of Cusipata, we will continue our journey by bus to the starting point of the hike at Phuluwasipata (4,626 m / 15,177 ft). After about 2 hours of walking through high-Andean landscapes, we will reach our final destination, the Rainbow Mountain or Vinicunca (5,020 m / 16,466 ft). We’ll stop for around 30 minutes to appreciate the views, grab a snack, and soak in the energy of the mountains at this significant altitude.
We then descend along the same trail back to the starting point, where we’ll board our transport. After a short ride, we’ll return to the place where we had breakfast, but this time for lunch.
Finally, we head back to the city of Cusco in the afternoon.
DAY 6 OF 6
Enjoy one last day in Cusco and remember to take souvenirs of your trip.
Depending on your flight or bus schedule, you will have the morning free in Cusco to relax, explore the city on your own, or take an optional tour.

I have another question ↗The 6-Day Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain Tour is a popular sightseeing option in Peru that includes visits to:
This 6-day tour provides a complete experience that combines culture, nature, and adventure in one of South America’s most iconic destinations: Cusco.
The recommended minimum age for these experiences is 5 years, and it’s not advisable for children under 5. Additionally, all minors must be accompanied at all times by responsible adults (18+). Children over 12 are subject to the regular rate. The recommended maximum age for this tour is about 60, but it may vary based on individual physical condition.
If you have a physical limitation, please contact our sales team via this link. Our representatives can provide a personalized assessment based on your fitness level and answer all your questions. Don’t hesitate to reach out – we’re here to help determine if the tour is right for you!
Yes, you can change your tour date if you contact us at least 45 days before the original departure date, with no extra cost. However, you must coordinate with our travel agents to avoid any issues with your new chosen dates.
All our travel packages include pick-up from the airport. Depending on your selected package and itinerary, pick-ups are from Cusco’s Alejandro Velasco Astete Airport. On arrival, a Waman Adventures representative will be waiting for you with a sign displaying your name.
Likewise, at the end of your package, our transport will take you to the designated airport according to your flight schedule. We will coordinate the hotel pick-up time with you. We also advise you to share detailed flight information with our sales agents so everything can be properly organized.
Yes. Our promotional prices assume double occupancy (two people sharing a room). For solo travelers who prefer a private room, an additional charge will apply, which you can discuss with our sales advisors during booking. This covers the exclusive use of a room (which does not differ significantly in space or cost compared to a double room) and thus incurs a single supplement.
No. The use of drones is prohibited by supreme decree of the Peruvian government in any archaeological site or attraction we’ll visit during the tour in Cusco. However, you may be able to fly a drone in certain rural Andean areas.
Yes. At Waman Adventures, we can arrange extra hotel nights in the properties we work with to meet our travelers’ specific needs.
For more information or to finalize a booking of extra nights, please contact our sales agents. We will coordinate the details for the additional nights and offer you available options.
Note: All hotel reservations must be made at least 30 days in advance of your booked date.
Train companies Peru Rail or Inca Rail do not always allow travel agencies to select specific seats. Seats are purchased and assigned randomly, based on availability for the chosen date. The agency will always aim to secure tickets for the travel date, with seat numbers being secondary.
Alternatively, you could purchase your train tickets on your own, but as a travel agency, we handle these tickets for your convenience.
For greater comfort, we recommend leaving heavy luggage at your hotel in Cusco. Most hotels offer complimentary luggage storage.
When taking the train (an essential segment to reach Machu Picchu quickly) with Peru Rail or Inca Rail, these companies only allow 5 kg of luggage. To make things easier, we suggest carrying only a small, light backpack or bag with the essential items for your stay and visits while away from your Cusco hotel, to which you will eventually return.
The best season for traveling in Cusco is generally the dry season, from about May to September. During the dry season, the weather is more stable, skies are clear, and there’s less rainfall in the city, making for a more pleasant trip and allowing adventurers to enjoy beautiful Andean landscapes.
We highly recommend you purchase travel insurance for your 6-day trip to Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Rainbow Mountain. Travel insurance provides peace of mind, covering unforeseen events such as cancellations, delays, health issues, or accidents during your adventure. Choose insurance that meets your specific needs and offers adequate coverage for this exciting journey.
Machu Picchu tickets are limited per day, so we recommend booking this 6-day Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain tour with us at least 1 month in advance.
You must book Huayna Picchu tickets months in advance. Only 400 people are allowed per day. The purchase is done online at the official site: https://www.machupicchu.gob.pe. Once on the site, select the route: CIRCUITO 4 + MONTAÑA WAYNAPICCHU, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. This ensures we follow the planned itinerary for your third day of travel.
Payment is made with Visa or MasterCard, carrying a 5% transaction fee. Finally, simply print your tickets and present them on the day you visit Waynapicchu Mountain.
Absolutely! At Waman Adventures, we want our travelers to fully enjoy their time in Cusco, including mealtimes. We highly recommend letting our sales team know in advance about your dietary preferences so we can adapt and offer suitable options during your meals.
