About this activity

This 5-day, 4-night package combines the essentials of Cusco and Machu Picchu with an extra day at Maras, Moray, and the Salineras — the right balance between the region’s most iconic archaeological sites and the lesser-known landscapes of the Sacred Valley.

It shares the same base as the 4-day package (city tour, Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu), but adds a full day dedicated to Maras, Moray, and the Salineras before the farewell day.

Internal note: Day 4 and the inclusions list for this package were completed by cross-referencing the original (truncated) source with the parallel itinerary of the 7-day package from the same source. Verify against Quillari Tours’ actual itinerary before publishing to production.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this package different from the 4-day one?

It adds a full day (Day 4) dedicated to Maras, Moray, and the Salineras, which the 4-day package does not include.

Does it include a multi-day trek?

No, the entire trip is by private transport and scenic train, with no camping or long hikes.

How many nights are spent outside Cusco?

One night, in Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo), between Day 2 and Day 3.

What is Moray and why is it visited on this package?

It's an experimental Inca agricultural site: circular terraces that generate temperature differences of up to 15°C, likely used to acclimate crops to different microclimates.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes — Machu Picchu entrance tickets and train tickets, especially during high season (May–September), sell out weeks or months in advance.
