Classic Machu Picchu 7 Days

These 7 days include tours of Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Maras Moray and Machu Picchu. These are by far our most popular tours put together for simplicity, time contraints and your comfort. We find that when passengers arrive in Cusco some feel relief by spending the next day at a lower altitude such as the Sacred Valley or Machu Picchu.
