Machu Picchu is consistently the #1 travel destination in the world, why? The answer is simple: the experience is fascinating and unique.
You're not just driving up to the overlook, getting out of the car, and taking some pictures; you are traveling deep into South America, into the heart of the Andes. Stumbling upon the lost city of the Incas is only part of the journey.
Planning a trip to Machu Picchu is a dream for many people, but the planning can be a bit overwhelming. We've created some sample itineraries to give you a starting point for planning, and we're here to help with whatever you need. From booking hotels or airport transfers, let FLY CUSCO PERU TRAVEL AGENCY take care of all your logistics. They cover routes we've found to work particularly well and feature some of our favorite places to stay.
The former capital of the mighty Inca empire, the Peruvian city of Cusco, is a fabulous base from which to explore fascinating archaeological and historical sites, as well as enjoy time in nature. While the city has much to be proud of, much of the area's charm can be found beyond the city limits.
Here are some of the best day trips to do from Cusco for a fabulous Peruvian adventure.

The half day city tour is a perfect way to spend your first day in Cusco. It is a relaxing trip that consists in visiting nearby archaeological sites and admiring the surrounding landscape. There’s only light hiking involved, and you don’t need to worry about logistics as we’ve got you covered.
Cusco encloses an amazing cultural wealth. This tour is highly recommended for those who want to learn more about our culture and the city’s past, which made it what it is today. You will enjoy a visit to the Main Square (Plaza de Armas), where you will find the Cathedral of Cusco. We will also stop at Coricancha (Temple of the Sun) and the Convent of Santo Domingo. Later, we will leave the historical center and go to the archaeological sites of Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Group Tour: When booking, choose the option that starts at 08:00. am or 1:00 pm

The tour begins with the pick up from the hotel in the historic center of Cusco. The first place to visit will be the famous Coricancha (Temple of the Sun) in which we will be able to appreciate the mixture between Inca constructions (with its perfectly polished stone walls) and Spanish (the church built over the Inca walls).
After the visit to the Coricancha we will go out of the city towards Sacsayhuamán without first making a stop at the viewpoint of Cristo Blanco (panoramic viewpoint of the entire city) this is where we can see huge stone blocks of up to 40 tons perfectly placed one on top of the other. Our guide will explain the importance of this place before the arrival of the Spanish and during the colony, since this place witnessed one of the greatest battles between the Incas and the Spanish
We will continue towards the sector of Qenqo (labyrinth) named after this for its paths that give the impression of being inside a labyrinth here the most important place will be an old ceremonial Stone table that owes its importance to the fact that this place was probably the last resting place of Pachacútec.
We will continue in our tourist bus to Puca Pucara (red fortress) which was an important control center for people who wanted to enter the city of Cusco in Inca times, given to the importance of the city that was sacred, all travelers had to first purify themselves, body and soul which they could do in Tambomachay, the last place we will visit where you can still appreciate the skill and knowledge in hydraulic engineering achieved by the Incas.
