Andean Baroque RouteThe Andean Baroque Route winds passed four temples, one in Cusco and three in the South Valley, linking the Inca capital with the Madre de Dios jungle and Lake Titicaca. This historical trade route, predating the Incas, facilitated the transportation of valuable commodities like gold, silver, coca leaves, and animal fibers, with archaeological sites like Tipon and Rumicolca lining its path. The South Valley, flanked by the Vilcanota River originating from Nevado Ausangate, has scenic lagoons such as Huacarpay, a Ramsar Site teeming with birdlife and stunning sunsets. Villages along the valley are home to diverse communities, including farmers, traders, and artisans, while towns specialize in various crafts and cultural traditions, from sorcery and baking to music and dance, honoring religious figures like the Virgen del Carmen and the Señor del Qoyllor Riti.

Machu Picchu and CuscoTo reach Machu Picchu there is a very early departure from your hotel to get to the national park as soon as it opens in time to witness the morning clouds lift off the ruins and experience the site's true mystique. Your guide will take you to the best spot to catch the breathtaking moment when the sun rises above the surrounding mountains, lighting up this iconic mountain. After this momentous photo opportunity, there is an extended tour of Machu Picchu, when your guide will explain all you need to know about the history, surrounding areas and sacred legend of Machu Picchu. There is a stop for a gourmet lunch provided by the Sanctuary Lodge at Machu Picchu and then it is time to hit the road again.. Taking the train from Aguas Calientes you'll pass through the dramatic landscape of the Sacred Valley throughout your journey to Cusco. Having acclimatized to the altitude the last few days, Cusco's altitude (11,150ft. above sea level) should be no problem at all at this point, allowing you to really get out and enjoy the town this evening, or get some rest at one of our lovely boutique hotels in Cusco.
