Your complete day-by-day itinerary for the Cusco Complete 8 Days, with what you see, what is included and the meals provided each day.
Begin in Cusco at Qorikancha, the Temple of the Sun, famous for its flawless Inca stonework. Continue to the towering Sacsayhuamán fortress with its panoramic views over the city.
Explore Qenqo and its ceremonial rock carvings, the checkpoint of Puca Pucara, and finish at Tambomachay, the elegant Inca water shrine that showcases Andean engineering.
Discover the Sacred Valley, starting in Chinchero, known for its traditional weaving and sweeping Andean views, then the extraordinary circular terraces of Moray.
Visit the dazzling Maras Salt Mines, still worked as in Inca times, the fortress town of Ollantaytambo, and the hillside ruins and vibrant market of Pisac.
Depart Cusco around 4:30 AM for the scenic drive through Chinchero and Urubamba to Ollantaytambo, then board the tourist train through the Sacred Valley to Aguas Calientes.
A short bus climb brings you to the Inca city of Machu Picchu for an in-depth guided tour of its temples, terraces and astonishing architecture. Return by train and bus to Cusco in the evening.
After a safety briefing, ride an ATV quad bike through Cusco's scenic countryside to the circular agricultural terraces of Moray, the open-air laboratory of the Incas.
Continue along dusty Andean trails to the Maras Salt Mines, where thousands of terraced salt pans have been harvested by hand for centuries.
Leave Cusco at 4:30 AM for Mollepata and Soraypampa, the trailhead at 3,900 m. From here a rewarding three-hour ascent climbs to the turquoise Humantay Lagoon at 4,300 m beneath the glaciers.
Take in the glacial scenery and an optional Andean offering ceremony before descending to Mollepata for a hearty buffet lunch and the drive back to Cusco.
Explore the often-overlooked South Valley, including the colonial Sistine Chapel of the Andes at Andahuaylillas, the Wari and Inca site of Pikillacta, and the agricultural terraces and water temple of Tipón.
A relaxed, culturally rich day among some of the finest and least crowded sites near Cusco.
Set off at 4:00 AM for Cusipata and the trailhead at 4,400 m. A gradual three-hour climb leads to the Rainbow Mountain viewpoint at 5,030 m, with its famous mineral bands of color and the striking Red Valley beyond.
Descend to board the bus, enjoy a buffet lunch in Cusipata and return to Cusco by late afternoon. We carry oxygen for everyone's comfort at altitude.
On your final morning we provide a smooth transfer to the airport or bus terminal. As our journey together ends, the INKANET ADVENTURE team thanks you and hopes the memories of Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Andes stay with you forever.
We look forward to welcoming you back for your next Peru adventure. Safe travels.
Exactly what is covered in your Cusco Complete 8 Days tour — and what to budget separately.
A few essentials we recommend to make your Cusco Complete 8 Days day the most rewarding possible.
Spend a day or two in Cusco (3,400 m) before high-altitude excursions. Hydrate well, eat light, drink coca tea and avoid alcohol. Our guides carry oxygen and support on every climb.
The hike is rated moderate: 3 hours uphill + 1.5 hours back down. If you can walk steadily for 4–5 hours at home, you'll be fine. Horses are available at the trailhead (~ US $20) if needed.
Dry season: April to October. Skies are clearer, trails firm, colors most vibrant. Avoid the rainy season (Dec–Mar), when colors mute under cloud cover. We run tours year-round but recommend the dry months.
The Andean sun is intense at 5,000 m. Bring sunscreen SPF 50+, a wide-brim hat, sunglasses, lip balm with SPF, and dress in layers. Pre-dawn is below freezing; midday can hit 18°C in the sun.
Free cancellation up to 30 days before the tour. In case of dangerous weather (snowstorms, road closures), we'll offer a free reschedule or full refund. Safety always comes first.
