Tour Classic Trip to Peru: Lima, Cusco, Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu
The center of Cusco is located approximately 6 kilometers from the Plaza de Armas in the Historic Center of Cusco. The journey takes about 20 minutes.
The most common way to get from Cusco airport to your hotel is by taxi. There is only one formal company called Llama Taxis. The cost to take you to your hotel is 50 Soles (~15 USD). They are located inside the airport near the baggage claim area.
Outside the terminal, there are many taxi drivers fishing for clients. If you want to use their services, you have to negotiate the fare with them before getting into the car. The regular cost is approximately 15 soles (~5 USD) but initially they will offer you a price of up to 30 soles.
Cusco is located at an altitude of approximately 3400 meters. The altitude is higher compared to most cities in the world. At higher altitudes, there is less oxygen in the atmosphere, so some people may experience dizziness, headaches, and nausea.
Most flights arrive early in Cusco, so hotel check-in is at 11 am. I suggest arriving at your hotel to rest for an hour or two. Later, you can take a leisurely walk around the center of Cusco. Stop to have a coca tea and enjoy the atmosphere.
Even if you are very excited about your arrival, avoid overexerting yourself. Most people do not experience any discomfort, but it is better to be cautious. To prevent discomfort, it is best to have plenty of coca leaf tea.
Get ready for an unforgettable experience in Peru with this travel itinerary that covers the most emblematic tourist destinations: Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and the majestic Machu Picchu! This journey has been meticulously designed to offer you the best of Peru in one trip. This is one of the classic Peru travel itineraries.
Start your adventure in the vibrant capital of Peru, Lima. I suggest spending a full day here, in addition to your arrival day. This planning will not only allow you to acclimatize but also give you the opportunity to explore the city's rich history and culture. I also recommend booking your flight from Lima to Cusco for the following morning. This is crucial as morning flights to Cusco, a mountainous region, tend to have fewer complications.
To maximize your experience and save on costs, I advise purchasing a multi-destination flight from your home city to Lima and then from Cusco back to your home. Subsequently, buy the flight from Lima to Cusco separately. National airlines offer very competitive rates, allowing you to save without sacrificing comfort.
During your trip, you will enjoy accommodations of upper-middle and superior categories, ensuring comfort and quality at each destination. These hotels have been carefully selected to offer you a pleasant and memorable stay.
By booking this itinerary, you will not only have access to a perfectly structured tour but also receive exclusive tips that will enrich your experience. These additional tips will make your trip even more rewarding.
Don't wait any longer and embark on this unique adventure through Peru! Your dream trip awaits you with unforgettable moments and stunning landscapes.
