After visiting the village, optional short hike to the ruins above

the town. Here, you will see some fantastic Inca remains,

including ritual baths fed by aqueducts and one of the largest

known Inca cemeteries. The precision with which the relatively

small stones in this site must have been cut is astonishing: in

here is even more awesome than that of the more famous ruins

in Machu Picchu.

year. But there’s only one way to see it in style: by staying at

Belmond Sanctuary Lodg

Belmond Monasterio Hotel

Day 5

This morning you may rise early and enjoy the prospects of a

walk through Machu Picchu at sunrise, something which people

of strong spirituality believe to be the highlight of a visit to

Machu Picchu.

Today you will have the option to do one or two of these hikes:

Huayna Picchu, one of the highlights of a visit to Machu Picchu.

The views of the Citadel and surrounding landscape are

extraordinary from the top and well worth the climbing effort.

Inti Punku or Sun Gate, it takes about an hour each way and is

an uphill strenuous hike on the way out to the Gate.

Inca Bridge, constructed of a few narrow logs perched above a

sheer vertical drop – is believed to have served as a secret

entrance to Machu Picchu.

Machu Picchu Mountain, large granite steps comprise most of

its trail and wind all the way to the top. The steep climb is a

challenging but rewarding hike and the 360-degree views at the

top are a gorgeous reward.

Rest of the day continue touring Machu Picchu with your guide.

starting in the Main Square we will visit the Cathedral of Cusco,

a major repository of Cusco's colonial art, It also holds

many archeological artifacts and relics; and the Koricancha

Temple, the most impressive example of how Inca and Hispanic

cultures fused together. The remains of the ancient Peruvians'

Sun Temple were used as foundations on which the Santo

Domingo church and convent was built. The temple is a symbol

of Western dominance. The site is a living example of the co-

existence of Peru's past with European architecture.

recommendation

Explore the Uros floating islands and the Island of Taquile on

land, sky, or water, but rather at the intersection of the three,

Totora, or junco reed roots, serve as unique building material

for the floating islands of the Uros Titino communities of Lake

Titicaca.

The Islands of Lake Titicaca excursion brings our guests close to

the islands’ Uro-Aymara communities, providing a unique

opportunity to grow personally acquainted with the men –

skilled reed raftsmen–, and women, - expert weavers famous

for their craft–, as well as the ancestral techniques used to keep

their islands afloat, among other aspects of their remarkable

heritage. In Taquile, for example, guests will experience the

Quechua imagination in the textile weavings unique to the area

and recently included in UNESCO’s Masterpieces of the Oral and

Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Puno’s deep blue skies mirrored across Lake Titicaca with views

of Bolivia’s Cordillera Real, or Royal mountain Range, in the

background.
