You’ll fly from Lima to Cusco, where instead of staying in the city, you’ll continue directly to the Sacred Valley. This is a key decision that makes a big difference in how you experience Peru.
The lower altitude of the valley allows your body to acclimate more comfortably, while also placing you closer to some of the region’s most important sites.
The afternoon is usually kept light—giving you time to settle into your surroundings.
