7:00 AM: Our tour begins with a full day exploring the remarkable Sacred Valley of the Incas, featuring:
Chinchero: This delightful Andean village is surrounded by stunning agricultural terraces and offers breathtaking mountain views. Renowned for its textile heritage, Chinchero is home to many local artisans who continue ancient weaving techniques passed down through generations. Visitors can explore the historic church, built atop an Inca temple, and visit local weaving cooperatives to witness artisans in action and purchase handmade textiles. You can also learn about the natural dyeing process used for the wool.
Moray: This intriguing site consists of several terraced circular depressions, believed to have served as an agricultural laboratory for the Incas. The terraces were likely used to experiment with various crops under different temperatures and microclimates, enhancing the Incas’ agricultural knowledge and practices.
Maras (Salt Mines): These salt evaporation ponds have been in use since pre-Inca times and continue to be utilized today. They consist of thousands of small terraced pools where salty water from a natural spring is allowed to evaporate, leaving behind crystallized salt. This method of production is still practiced by local communities.
Urubamba: Primarily a lunch stop, where you can enjoy a buffet meal at one of the local restaurants.
Ollantaytambo (Archaeological Site): This site functioned as both a ceremonial center and a strategic military fortress for the Inca Empire. Known for its complex construction, the massive stones were quarried from a mountainside across the river, showcasing remarkable engineering skills. Ollantaytambo is also a living town where locals continue to live among the ancient ruins. The tour concludes around 4:00 PM at the Ollantaytambo Train Station, where we will board the train.
16:36: Train departure to Machu Picchu Town, where hotel staff will be waiting to greet you. You will spend the night in Machu Picchu Town.

Our tour will commence early at 4 a.m., followed by a two-hour boat journey upriver on the Tambopata River. To fully appreciate the display of parrots and macaws, it’s essential to arrive before the birds. During this time, we’ll enjoy a buffet breakfast while observing their natural behavior.

At the lake, we may see monkeys, caimans, hoatzins, and macaws, with a chance to spot the elusive anaconda. We’ll arrive, take a canoe to explore the dense jungle, and then return to the lodge for a night walk to search for wildlife or simply experience the jungle’s romantic, intense, silent, and noisy ambiance.
After breakfast, we visit to the stunning Sachavacayoc Lake, situated in the heart of the Tambopata Reserve. The lake is about a two-hour leisurely walk away, offering a chance to immerse ourselves in the natural surroundings.
During our visit to Sachavacayoc Lake, we may encounter wildlife such as spider monkeys, anacondas, giant otters, and possibly even tapirs. For many, this tour provides a remarkable and one-of-a-kind experience.
Upon arrival in the mid-morning, we will board a rowboat to explore the area’s wildlife. To ensure a full day of exploration, we will provide a box lunch. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can return to the lodge for lunch and enjoy additional time at the beautiful farm to relax and take advantage of the available amenities.
As we navigate the river, we will also have the opportunity to spot the magnificent Amazon alligator in the evening before dinner.
