An extraordinary example of architecture and engineering our Travel Engineers have planned your visit to this iconic site over a 4 hour train journey from Cusco to Machu Picchu. Since it’s a long journey, our Travel Engineers recommend taking an early morning train to make the best of your day there and returning back to Cusco in time.

Alternatively, you can also choose to stay in Sacred valley on your second night after Machu Picchu and return back to Cusco. However, the train from Cusco to Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu has baggage restrictions, hence Travel Engineers recommend keeping this into consideration when planning a stay here.

Take a day trip to colourful Rainbow Mountain
Today after a hearty breakfast at your hotel, plan a day trip to famous colourful Rainbow Mountains in the high Andes Mountains in Peru. As the name rightly suggests Rainbow mountains literally look like a reflection of rainbow on the mountain which is actually formed by exposure of sedimentary mineral layers in the mountain to erosion.
There are numerous tours to Rainbow Mountains which is just 3 hours from Cusco, you could opt for either trek 3 hours up on top of Rainbow Mountain or just take a quick 30 mins tour for spectacular views of the mountain.
