Day 2: Lima - Cuzco (B)After breakfast, flight to Cuzco. Arrival to Cuzco, reception and transfer to your hotel, the 5 star deluxe Monasterio Hotel. Free morning.
In the afternoon, a guided visit of the four ruins nearby, Sacsayhuaman, Kenko, Puca-Pucara and Tambomachay, with our Shaman and guide who will explain the spiritual significance of each site and will perform a ritual and cleansing and offer personalised spiritual guidance for each participant.
Return to your hotel.
After breakfast, a trip to the Sacred Valley with our Shaman and guide. The trip will include a visit to Pisaq. The village of Pisac was founded during Colonial times. On Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays the Indians barter their products, and artisans from all over the area sell their woven alpaca wool blankets and ponchos, engraved gourds, antique reproductions and jewellery. On Sundays, it is also the meeting place for the local Mayors of the region, who come dressed in their traditional costumes, to attend morning mass. After the market, a visit to the ruins above Pisaq where our Shaman will perform a plant ceremony for all participants. Medicine, personalised attention during the ceremony, cleansing and explanation of the site will be offered. Lunch box provided. Return to your hotel in Cuzco in the afternoon.
Day 4: Machu Picchu (B, L & D)Transfer to the railway station in Poroy for the Luxury Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu. Arrival and transfer to your hotel, the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge.
After check-in, a guided visit of the most spectacular ancient city in the world. This fabulous city contains houses, temples, warehouses, a large central square; and all connected by narrow roads and steps that are surrounded by terraces cut into the mountain side. After the tour, free time to enjoy this spiritual wonder. Opportunity for a guided trek (approx 1 hour) up to the sungate (Intipunku), which is a part of the Inca Trail, for a magical view of the sanctuary or alternatively an unguided climb to the top of Wayna Picchu, with a magnificent view of the whole Sanctuary (recommended for fit individuals only). Lunch at the Sanctuary Lodge. Return to the site for free exploration before returning to your hotel for dinner and accommodation.
After breakfast, you will meet with your Shaman who will conduct a very different tour of the site and will explain the mystical aspects of Machu Picchu. Return to your hotel for lunch.
Afternoon tea before returning in the evening by Hiram Bingham train to Poroy.
Enjoy dinner and cocktails aboard the train. Arrival and transfer to your hotel located in the Sacred Valley, the Rio Sagrado.
Today a private trek to the ruins of Huchuy Qosqo. Transfer to Piuray Lake from where you will start this 9 hour trek. You will be rewarded with the beautiful morning sunshine on Mount Veronica and the entire Vilcabamba Range. After a brief uphill start you will begin to descend over the altiplano, to the ruins of Huchuy Qosqo. These well-preserved ruins are characterized by double jamb doorways, three-storey houses and mixed constructions of stone and adobe. Sprawling over the mountain top and surrounded by spectacular views of the Sacred Valley and Urubamba mountain range, this is a less popular trek and requires good physical strength. After enjoying a delicious picnic lunch under the shade of the Queñua trees (Andean Oak), you will continue hiking across open country before zigzagging down a steep trail on the face of the mountain. Transportation will be waiting in the village of Lamay to take you back to your hotel in the Sacred Valley.
Day 7. Sacred Valley - Cuzco (B)After breakfast, return to Cuzco and accommodation at 5* Monasterio Hotel. Free day at leisure.
Day 8. Cuzco - Tipon (B)After breakfast, transfer to the archaeological site of Tipon with our Shaman who will explain the spiritual significance and will perform a ritual and cleansing of the spirit. Return to Cuzco and accommodation at the Monasterio Hotel.
Day 9: Cuzco (B)A visit to the Moray Inca terraces located close to the Urubamba valley. These four fabulous terraces resembling an amphitheatre are incredible examples of early agricultural experimentation. As each level of terrace exhibits a marked temperature variation, several different microclimates are formed allowing for the growth of a wide variety of crops. Many types of cereals and products were grown here including corn and potato. The tour continues to the bizarre landscape of Maras, site of over 3000 separate salt pans. Of pre-Inca origin, these salt pans form from an underground source. Return to Cuzco and accommodation at Monasterio Hotel.
Day 10: Cuzco (B)Free day in Cuzco. Accommodation at 5* Monasterio Hotel.
Day 11: Lima (B)After breakfast transfer to the airport for your return flight home.
