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.

We pick you up at hotels, Airbnbs, houses, apartments in the historic center of Cusco. We will pick you up at the door of your accommodation to go for 2 hours to the South Valley of Cusco in our transport. Despite the early morning, you will have the opportunity to observe picturesque Andean villages, agricultural terraces from the Inca era, fertile valleys and beautiful wavy mountains. We will stop and observe the herds of llamas and alpacas that will entertain you while you enjoy a delicious breakfast in the Village of Cusipata
We will continue our journey until we reach the starting point of the trek at 4,630 m / 15,190 ft. There we will start on a winding road in the middle of the Andean mountains that follows a beautiful stream.
After an hour and a half of hiking, we will arrive at the incredible Rainbow Mountain of Cusco (5,100 m / 16,732 ft). Take your time to admire the amazing beauty of this impressive natural formation and feel the thrill of witnessing a unique natural site. You will explore the surroundings a bit and enjoy the impressive landscape while your guide explains the theories that exist about the origin of this mountain that seems to be taken from a colorful dream. Take this opportunity to take some amazing photos or just dive into the scenery. We will spend between 60 minutes at the top, depending on weather conditions.
It will take us another hour to reach the starting point of the walk, from where we will board our transport to the restaurant in Cusipata and enjoy a buffet lunch. Then, we will board our transport again to return to the city of Cusco.

What do I need to bring for the Rainbow Mountain tour?
How long in advance should I make my reservation?
You must make the reservation at least 1 day before. We recommend making all reservations in advance.
Do I need to make a deposit to guarantee my reservation?
Yes, it will be guaranteed with a deposit payment of the total cost of the tour per person through our 2 forms of payment mentioned in our Book Now form. Important: None of the requested deposits include transaction fees.
What is the best time to do the excursion to Rainbow Mountain?
Peru is a very large country with many different climates, for that reason it would be very difficult to define a good time to visit different places. However, we consider that the best season is from April to December. In the months of January to March the mountain is covered with snow. If you want to see one side of the mountain covered and the other side the colors? These dates are the best time.
Where will the information session take place?
This meeting will be held the night before the departure of the tour in the lobby of your hotel, apartment, hostel or family home in Cusco. You could also do it at our office located on Calle Portal de panes, office 201 (second floor). Plaza de armas de cusco.
