7-Day Itinerary: From Inca Architecture to the Tropical Rainforest
The structure of this circuit guarantees a progressive acclimatization before facing the highest altitude challenges at the end of the trip.
Days 1 and 2: Imperial Immersion and Sacred Valley
The experience begins by exploring the imposing Inca architecture during the City Tour. We will visit the golden temple of Qoricancha and the megalithic fortress of Sacsayhuamán. The next day, we will descend to the Sacred Valley of the Incas to discover its fascinating traditional markets and archaeological complexes, preparing the body for the Amazon journey.
Days 3 and 4: The Amazon Route through Hydroelectricity

The differential point of this route comes on the third day. We will cross the imposing snow-capped Abra Málaga (4,316 meters above sea level) to descend dramatically towards the warm climate of the jungle in Santa Teresa.
We will arrive at the base of the Wonder of the World through the famous and picturesque Hydroelectric route. This flat walk of approximately 10 kilometers bordering the Vilcanota River immerses you in dense tropical vegetation until you reach Aguas Calientes. The next day, first thing in the morning, we will explore the citadel of Machu Picchu with a certified guide, decoding the mysteries of this sanctuary recognized by UNESCO.
Days 5 to 7: High Mountain and the South Valley

We return to the Andean altitude for the physical challenge of the trip: conquering the Mountain of 7 Colors (Vinicunca) at more than 5,000 meters above sea level. The sixth day is dedicated to exploring the South Valley of Cusco, a less saturated circuit but of immense historical value, where we will admire the pre-Inca hydraulic engineering of Tipón and the Wari architecture in Pikillacta.
