At the scheduled time, you will be picked up from the airport and transferred to your hotel. It is recommended to rest for a while to better acclimate to the altitude. Later, we’ll begin the city tour of Cusco and its surroundings — the perfect way to start getting to know this magical city.

The tour begins with pickup from your hotel at 1:30 p.m. and ends around 6:30 p.m. During the excursion, you’ll visit various Inca and colonial temples located throughout the city, as well as the impressive archaeological complex of Sacsayhuamán, from where you’ll enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of Cusco.

We’ll then continue our journey to Urubamba, where lunch will be served at a tourist restaurant.

In the afternoon, after lunch, we’ll head to the fortress and citadel of Ollantaytambo, originally built to guard the entrance to this part of the Sacred Valley and protect it from possible invasions from the jungle tribes. You’ll have the chance to walk through the charming cobblestone streets and get a clear sense of how this place functioned as a military, religious, and cultural center during Inca times.

After the guided visit, we’ll go to the train station to board the 3:37 p.m. train to the town of Aguas Calientes. Upon arrival: hotel transfer, check-in, dinner, and overnight stay.

This sacred initiation connects us with the ancient codes of the water beings and with sacred duality as a creative principle. Grandmother María — over one hundred years old and devoted to sharing the message of love from the Andes with the world — will transmit to us the blessing of the Ñusta of the Waters, reminding us that it is the balanced feminine energy that opens the path to the new era of humanity.

We will wake up in Puno and have an early breakfast. At 6:30 a.m., we’ll take the bus from Puno to Copacabana.

We’ll reach Copacabana around 12:00 p.m. and have lunch there. At 1:30 p.m., we’ll board a boat for a 1 hour and 30 minute ride to Isla del Sol (Island of the Sun). Upon arrival, we’ll visit the Temple of the Sun and later take a 30-minute walk to our hotel. Check-in, dinner, and end of the day.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, we’ll take a boat to the Island of the Moon. Once there, we’ll explore the site and enjoy its sacred atmosphere. Later, we’ll return to Copacabana for lunch, then continue back to Puno to board the night bus to Cusco. End of services.
