Arrive in Cusco in the morning | Free afternoon, or explore the center of Cusco.
Visitors must be inside the airport 02 hours before the departure of their flights, “general flight regulations of Peru.” Upon arrival at the Cusco airport, go to the meeting area with our guides and drivers to carry out the respective transfer service to your hotels “we recommend the hotels in the Cusco center to be able to walk and take pictures.”
In the afternoon, the photographers have free time to rest in their hotels or look for unique images of the center of Cusco, the cathedral of Cusco, the stone of the 12 angles, the San Blas neighborhood, the traditional market of San Pedro, etc.
The photographic exploration is through the ruins of Sacsayhuaman and its surroundings.
We start activities at 09:30; we believe it is an ideal time because the city of Cusco rises to a considerable height “it is important on the first day to rest as much as possible to adapt to the heights.”
Explore:
Development of tourist activities: Our Kondor Path Tours team arrives at the hotel to start the photographic tour of the city of Cusco and the outskirts.
Our first visit is the San Cristóbal viewpoint; From perspective, you can see the main square of Cusco, other courts, colonial houses, and the solar enclosure of the founders of the Inca empire called Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo.
We continue the exploration to reach the Inca complex of Sacsayhuaman; the stone buildings are enormous, and the panoramic and angular photos will be spectacular. Since the complex is quite large, we will have several photographic focuses. We will walk through almost all the crucial sectors of Sacsayhuaman.
As an integral part of the tour, we have smaller ruins like Pucapucara, Qenqo, and Tambomachay. We will visit them all, looking for unique photographic angles to take fantastic images. That is why we will spend the whole day exploring the Inca temples and enjoying the great outdoors of the Andes.
Several natural viewpoints make the photos of Pisac and the Sacred Valley unique.
We leave the city of Cusco at 07:00 in the direction of the Sacred Valley of the Incas to explore spectacular archaeological parks with panoramic views of the Andes and streams. We believe the best way to see and explore a place is with your camera and a trained eye.
Explore:
Before reaching the Inca valley, we will make two stops at the Taray viewpoints. We have panoramic views of the vast Andes mountain range with some glaciers from the first viewpoint. We will also observe colonial populations with corn plantations around the Urubamba River. In the second viewpoint, we have impressive views of the colonial town of Pisac and the magnificent Inca-built terraces that border different parts of the mountain.
We continue the trip until we reach the Cuyo Chico viewpoint to observe other Inca platforms containing floating steps with Inca paths at the other end of the mountain. Being in the same main constructions, we will have different surprising photographic views of the Cuyo Chico valley and the Inca constructions at their best.
It is essential to mention that we will conduct a personal exploration through the traditional Inca market of the colonial town of Pisac. There are many souvenir vendors; the stores are very colorful, and each photographer can take photos as they please to combine beautiful expressions of colors and shadows.
We explore the archaeological group of Ollantaytambo; passing through the square, we will have a short walk through the Inca streets where the constructions of the houses link to the roads having a spectacular symmetry. The photographic view within the route to observe is the Inca complex itself.
Around 15:30, we board the train service that will board at the Ollantaytambo train station; after 1 hour and 40 minutes of travel, we arrive at the jungle of Machupicchu. We board the tourist bus to the magnificent architectural construction of Machu Picchu to take panoramic photos from a high viewpoint, watch the sunset, and capture the colors and photographic nuances of Machu Picchu in the fullness of the afternoon.
Meals: Box Lunch
We spend the night in Machu Picchu Pueblo.
The sunrise in Machu Picchu is unique; Walkthrough Machu Picchu Ruins taking incredible photographs.
The tour guide comes to the hotel at 05:20, so the explorers board the bus service minutes later to Machu Picchu. Sunrise is around 06:55; at that time, the photographers will be around the Inca viewpoint, the site where you have the complete view of Machu Picchu, and thus observe the sunrise of how it covers the Inca citadel.
Enjoy a two-and-a-half-hour photographic tour inside the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, exploring the most outstanding sites. In Machu Picchu, we have five tourist circuits, and circuits 1 and 2 are the best “there is no free time in Machu Picchu due to the new regulations of Machu Picchu.”
YOU have two entrance tickets to Machu Picchu within the Machu Picchu tour package for the Machu Picchu sunrise and the Machu Picchu guided tour.
For this reason, we will try to buy tickets for tourist circuits 1 and 2 so you can enjoy your photographic visit to Machu Picchu. In the afternoon, we board the train service back to Cusco.
In the afternoon, return to the city of Cusco.
Photographic tour to the rainbow mountains of Vinicunca in Peru
We leave Cusco at 05:30 am heading south for 3 hours until we reach the start of the Rainbow Mountain adventure.
