What Is Included in This Machu Picchu Tour Package from Cusco?
This package connects three of the most important parts of a trip to the Cusco region: the historic city of Cusco, the Sacred Valley of the Incas and Machu Picchu. Instead of booking hotels, transfers, entrance tickets, tours, trains and the Machu Picchu bus separately, the main travel services are organized within one itinerary, the route begins in Cusco with an airport pickup and city tour, continues through the Sacred Valley with an overnight stay, and then connects by train with Machu Picchu before returning to Cusco. It is especially practical for travelers who want to visit the region without doing the Inca Trail or another multi day trek.
Machu Picchu Tour Package from Cusco
Why Choose a Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu Package?
Visiting Machu Picchu involves more than purchasing an entrance ticket. Travelers also need to coordinate transportation through the Sacred Valley, train travel, the bus between Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu, accommodation and the guided visit, this itinerary organizes those services as part of one trip. It also avoids treating Machu Picchu as an isolated day trip. Before reaching the Inca citadel, you visit Cusco and several important locations in the Sacred Valley, including Chinchero, Moray, the Maras Salt Mines and Ollantaytambo, the result is a more complete introduction to the Cusco region before the Machu Picchu visit.
