Day 3 will be spent travelling to Cusco. A transfer, flight, and another transfer will take you across Peru to your hotel. The flight is the responsibility of the client.
Day 4 is a day to explore the culture in Sacred Valley. You have a free morning and afternoon, with an Andean ceremony at night. A traditional Andean ceremony, this offering pays homage to the Pachamama (Mother Earth) who is revered in Andean traditions. They express thankfulness using a plethora of Andean elements while learning about the uses and traditions of the Andean people. A series of activities like coca leaf reading, meditation or yoga can complement this activity. At the end of the day, you will return to your hotel for one more night.

Pick up and transfer to Moray, which is an area famous for its embedded amphitheatre, formed by four circular terraces. Evidence seems to suggest that Moray was an important centre of Inca agricultural research on crops. Then continue the visit to Maras. Its main attraction, apart from its church that dates from the colonial period, are the salt mines located near the town which captivate sightseers and in particular, photographers.
Next, continue your tour by visiting Ollantaytambo, this prehistoric fort majestically dominates the valley. Take advantage of lunch at Mill Restaurant. The restaurant’s architecture was designed so that the building merges with the nature of the location, respecting the balance, colours, ecology, and the surrounding communities of the site. All the water used at this restaurant is responsibly recycled.

If you have ever dreamed of travelling through the Peruvian Andes on a train modelled from the same Pullman cars of the 1920s, then the Belmond Hiram Bingham train makes this possible, and will turn your honeymoon in Peru from an already magical journey into an unforgettable experience.
You will experience a personalised service that takes care of every last detail of your journey. Enjoy the elegant dining car, the bar car, and the observatory where you can take in the unmatched scenery in the open air, all while sipping on a traditional Peruvian cocktail and listening to live, local music to the beat of the Peruvian cajón and tambourines. This train will take you to Machu Picchu for midday.

Day 7 begins with a tour of Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu was only re-discovered in 1911 by the explorer Hiram Bingham, and this citadel is considered to be one of the most extraordinary examples of landscape architecture in the world. It consists of two main areas, one agricultural, formed mainly by mountains and food stores, and the other urban, which is noted for its sacred zone with its temples, squares and royal tombs. The stairways and canals carved out of stone are recurrent throughout this remarkable archaeological site.
Then take a trip up to Wayna Picchu, a mountain located at the Machu Picchu citadel. It rises over Machu Picchu and divides it into two sections and it is possible to hike to the summit for a completely different and even more spectacular view of the Inca wonder. Finally, take the Hiram Bingham Train back to Poroy and return to your hotel via private transfer.
Day 8 is your penultimate day and will be spent in Cusco. Enjoy a private tour of the city and its surroundings, exploring the beautiful sites and the ancient history which it is famous for. Then, for your final night, enjoy a delicious dinner at Map Cafe. The location of the restaurant alone makes it worth a visit – first you have to enter the Museo de Arte Precolombino, and inside the museum, you will enter a smaller area made of glass and steel where dinner will be served. Spend your final night in Lima.
The final day is left free to arrange your return journey and a private journey will take you to the airport. The domestic and international flights are not included in the price of the trip.
