The journey to the lost city of Incas will offer views of splendid meadows, lush mountains, glacier views, and luxurious food and drink. The train ride is only approximately 4 hours long but feels like you’re being pampered as you travel through the lands of the Andes Mountains. Lush green valleys will greet you with their vibrant color, and the ride will end at the cloud forest where the citadel of Machu Picchu rests.
When you arrive, we will transfer you to the Sanctuary Lodge Hotel. This is a luxury hotel in town. Here your luxurious experience will continue before you visit the ancient and enigmatic Inca city of Machu Picchu the next day.
After an immersive experience and tour of this Inca ruin, you head back to Cusco in the same luxury you had on arriving trip. This 2 day luxury tour to archaeological site of Machu Picchu is truly a memorable experience that will leave you full of wonder and memories that will last a lifetime.

Honestly, I was nervous about traveling to South America but John honestly takes such good care of you. Not only does he make sure you’re safe at all times but he has a genuine passion for his job. He truly does love his country and it is so evident when he explains things.
John goes above and beyond in each of his tours, not only with his incredible knowledge of their history but even with the little things. He will point out restaurants to try, or certain food and drinks that are traditional that he reccomend off the menu.
He was so easy to get along with and by the end of my 3 weeks with John he felt more like a friend then a tour guide. If I ever return to Peru, I would immediately go to John and I would 110% reccomend him over anyone else. His love for his country is contagious and you end up loving it just as much as he does. If you’re considering booking with John, please do, you’ll have the best adventure of your life!
We did this tour as a part of our honeymoon trip after visiting Galapagos Islands in Ecuador. Everything was perfectly organised. Thanks a lot John.
