After breakfast, we will start the day by picking you up from your hotel and heading to the picturesque village of Chinchero (3,762 meters / 12,342 feet), “The Rainbow Village”. There we can admire the temple of Chinchero and the extensive Inca constructions. In addition, you will have the opportunity to participate in the process of making fine Andean textiles.

We will continue our tour by visiting the giant circular terraces of Moray (3,500 meters / 11,483 feet), a sample of the advanced agricultural engineering of the Incas.

Then we will descend to the salt mines of Maras (3,500 meters / 11,483 feet), where you will see more than 3,000 salt wells that have been used for human consumption since pre-Inca times.

Finally, in the afternoon, we will take our train from Ollantaytambo station (2,792 meters / 9160 feet) to the village of Aguas Calientes or Machu Picchu village (2,050 meters / 6,725 feet), the gateway to one of the most appreciated treasures of humanity: Machu Picchu.

We will get up early for breakfast and then we will head to take one of the first buses that will take us from Aguas Calientes (2,050 meters / 6,725 feet) to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu (2,430 m / 7,972 feet).

Once our ticket and passport are presented at the entrance, our guide will explain the history of this Inca wonder. At the same time, we visit the most important sectors of Machu Picchu, such as the Classic Viewpoint, the Guardian House, the Sun Temple Viewpoint, the Sacred Rock, or the Set of Water Mirrors.

When you finish your guided tour, you will have time to climb Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain, if you have purchased the entrance ticket for any of these places. These extra hikes in Machu Picchu are an optional activity, have an additional cost, and must be booked in advance for limited space.

After visiting the wonder of the world, you will return by bus to Aguas Calientes town for lunch. Then you will take the train back to Ollantaytambo and continue on our private transport to your accommodation in Cusco city.

We leave very early from the city of Cusco to the north, heading to Mollepata town (2,803 meters / 9,196 feet). We enjoyed an energizing breakfast before continuing towards Soraypampa (3,880 meters / 12,729 feet), from where we started our hike towards the Humantay Lake (4,200 m / 13,779 feet).

On the route, we observe the impressive biodiversity and beautiful landscapes next to the majestic snowy Salkantay (6,271 m / 20,574 ft).

Arriving at the Humantay Lake, we fill up with the incredible natural energy of the place and marvel at the amazing turquoise waters contrasting with the majestic snowy Humantay. A sight we will never forget.

To return, we use the same ascent route, have lunch at the same place where we have breakfast and then return to Cusco City.

We will pick you up very early from your hotel in Cusco and head south, crossing valleys and beautiful Andean villages.

After breakfast near the village of Cusipata (3,329 meters/10,921 feet) we will continue the journey in our transport to the starting point of the hike in Phuluwasipata (4,626 meters/ 15,177 feet). We will walk approximately 2 hours between high Andean landscapes until we reach our destination: the colored mountain or Vinicunca (5,020 m / 16,466 feet). We will stop for about 30 minutes to admire the landscape, have a snack, and absorb the energy of the mountains.

Then, we will go down the same road until we return to the starting point, where we will take our transport. After a short trip, we will return to where we had breakfast, but this time for lunch.

Finally, we will return to Cusco City in the afternoon.

Depending on your flight or bus itinerary, you will have the morning free in Cusco to relax, tour the city on your own, or take a tour (optional).

We will be attentive to your flight schedule to transfer you promptly to the airport and finish our services this way. ¡ Thank you for choosing us!

From the tour of Machu Picchu,  Mountain 7 Colors, and Humantay Lake you can expect a complete experience, as it will allow you to explore the natural jewels of Cusco.

During this package of trips, you will travel to various destinations, including the visit to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, the Mountain of 7 Colors (Rainbow Mountain), and the Humantay lake.

The maximum altitude reached on the tour is 5,020 meters/16,470 feet which is the hike to the Mountain 7 colors.

The best season for the «Machu Picchu, Mountain Tour 7 Colors, and Humantay Lake» is usually during the dry season (April – October).

The months from June to August are usually the most popular due to more stable weather conditions. The days will be sunny and there will be less chance of rain.

Yes. Most people adapt well in 1-2 days to the altitude of 3,400 meters in Cusco. But it is important to remember that not everyone reacts in the same way to the change of altitude, some may feel altitude sickness and others not. So acclimatization is indispensable to fully enjoy each day without worrying about altitude sickness or soroche.

If you experience symptoms of altitude sickness during your walk to Humantay Lake, or Rainbow Mountain, it is important to immediately communicate your discomfort to your guide. Resting, staying hydrated, and chewing coca leaves in small amounts are initial steps. In severe cases, it is necessary to descend to lower altitudes, which could mean not continuing with the tour. On the other hand, we recommend acclimatizing for at least 1 day in Cusco, and avoiding heavy meals, alcohol, and tobacco before hiking.

You don’t need to be an athlete to join our tours, but being in good physical shape will allow you to enjoy hiking and activities to the fullest.

With some exceptions, most countries do not need visas to enter Peru as tourists.

The National Superintendence of Migration determines the actual duration of the stay. Tourists are allowed a stay of 30 to 90 days,

What if I lose my migration card?

Be careful not to lose your tourist card, or you will have to queue at the National Superintendency of Migrations (migration office), also known as migrations to get a replacement card. It is a good idea to carry your passport and TAM in your pocket at all times, especially when traveling in remote areas, for example: it is required by law on the Inca Trail.

For security get a photocopy of both documents and keep them in a different place from the originals.

Peru uses the Nuevo Sol (S/.) as its official currency. The exchange rate of this US dollar fluctuates constantly between 3.6 and 4 Peruvian soles.

The practical thing is to combine cash, debit, and credit cards. Carry small denomination tickets for ease of purchase and access to services.

The credit card is used for emergency withdrawals. When you get local currency, order small bills, as it is difficult to change the big ones (S/. 100) in towns or for small purchases. Try to bring change to hand, especially in small towns.

In Peru, Type A and Type C plugs and sockets are used. The electric current is 220V at a frequency of 60HZ AC, standard plugs accept round teeth. But, many places will have dual-voltage plugs that take flat teeth. Even so, you may need an adapter with a built-in surge protector.

On the other hand, when calling Peru from abroad, dial the international access code of the city located. Then, the country code of Peru (51), the area code without the (0), and finally the local number.

Then, when you make international calls from Peru, dial the international access code (00). Then, the code of the country you are calling, the area code, and the local phone number.

Usually, in Peru, any phone number that starts with a 9 is a cell phone number. So numbers with 0800 starting are free only when dialed from private phones, not npublic phones.
