Peru & Bolivia highlights: Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, & Uyuni Salt Flats

Fly to the ancient Inca capital of Cuzco. After you have been taken to your hotel, have the rest of the day to acclimatise to the high altitude.

Enjoy a shared city tour today and have the afternoon to yourselves.

Embark on a full-day group-guided trip into the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Leaving your hotel early, your first stop may be the terraces and market of Písac. Visit the sturdy ruins of Ollantaytambo, a former important administrative hub for the Incas, and look across the valley to see a carved face on the mountain opposite, believed to be a messenger from the gods.

Take the train through the cloudforest to Machu Picchu town, where you will have a privately guided tour of Machu Picchu. Once you have taken the bus back down to the town, you have the evening to yourselves.

This morning, you can independently return to Machu Picchu; this way, you can do things at your own pace and potentially try out another circuit or climb one of the nearby mountains of Machu Picchu Mountain or Huayna Picchu. After this, you will take the train back to Ollantaytambo station and be picked up and driven to Cuzco.

Today, you will travel to the beautiful Sun Island on the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca, where you will stay for a night. Spend the afternoon exploring the local area, seeing the fantastic views and finding yourself a good spot to watch the sunrise the next morning.
