Have an early breakfast before heading to the station where you’ll catch a scenic train to Aguas Calientes. There, take a shuttle bus up to Machu Picchu. Take a tour of the ruins and enjoy the amazing architecture and beautiful landscapes of the valley. Visit the Watchman’s Hut, the Inca Bridge, and the temple of the three windows. Afterwards, return to Aguas Calientes where you’ll spend the night.

After breakfast, a travel guide will escort your to your Cuzco hotel, located near the Plaza de Armas. Relax and get accustomed to the altitude during the rest of the morning. In the afternoon, take a half-day city tour and discover Cuzco’s highlights such as the Cathedral and the Inca Temple of the Sun called Korikancha. Go outside the city to visit the ruins of Sacsayhuaman, Tambomachay and Qenqo.

Wake up early to have breakfast and visit a parrot clay lick. There watch dozens and dozens of red and green macaws, large parrots and yellow-crowned Amazons, and enjoy the sight of this colorful wildlife. After that head to a small parakeet clay lick to observe Blue Headed Parrots, Orange-Cheeked Parrots, Cobalt-winged parakeets and if you are lucky the rare Rock Parakeet. In the afternoon learn more about the rainforest ecology and natural history during a walk with a member of the community and a naturalist guide. Afterwards, head back to the lodge to enjoy a nice cocktail and relax on a hammock.
