Machu Picchu

Cusco of Dream and Machu Picchu 3 days / 2 nights

The mystical sacred city is considered the capital of the Tahuantinsuyo Empire with a great historical and architectural legacy. Surrounded by green valleys with imposing tourist attractions, culture, tradition, and still latent faith. Known as the navel of the world for being the political and territorial center of the Inca Empire, the department of Cusco shows us an impressive geographical variety from natural mountain ranges and reliefs, to rivers such as the Urubamba.

The city of Cusco, located in the Andes mountain range at 3 399 m.a.s.l., was declared the Historic Capital of Peru, being an impressive sample of high Inca engineering that had stone as its main tool. Like places like Choquequirao, Sacsayhuaman, Qenko, Tambomachay, Ollantaytambo, and especially Machu Picchu, an architectural jewel built with the wisdom of the ancient Incas that served as the political, religious, and administrative center of the time.
