Good to Know:

  • All trains to and from Machu Picchu only allow a 13 lbs luggage (6kg).
  • The train to Machu Picchu stops at other stations before arrival to Machu Picchu itself.  Be careful not to get off the train at the wrong station.

  • Peru Rail sometimes changes timings and/or stations at the last minute so please double check with train staff if in doubt.

  • Upon arrival in Lima you will receive an immigration slip that should be kept for your departure. This slip of paper will be required at all hotel check-ins so please keep it with you at all times.

Welcome to Peru! You will be picked up at the airport in Cusco today and transferred to your hotel, Amaru, which is centrally located in the historical area of San Blas. Later this afternoon you will have a city tour in which you will visit several of Cusco’s iconic landmarks including Saqsayhuaman (an old stone fortress perched above the city), Qoricancha (Sun Temple), and the historical Cathedral located in the Plaza de Armas.

These are: Museo de Sitio de Qoricancha, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, Centro Qosqo de Arte Nativo, Monumento al Inca Pachacutec, Convento de Santa Catalina, Museo de Arte Popular & Museo Histórico Regional.
