Planned Itinerary
Meals included: B L
Accommodations: Eco Inn Cusco Free wi-fi

After breakfast, spend the morning exploring the ruins of Machu Picchu with your Program Director. As you take note of its scale, proportion and organic harmony with the mountains on which it’s perched.
Four sections—cemetery, jails, homes and temples—comprise the city. At the Temple of the Three Windows, the observatory and a peculiar stone block called the Intiwatana, you’ll see the central role the sun played in the life of the Inca, as well as the architecture of the city. The precision of the stonework—like all the stonework in the city—is practically beyond belief. And it again bears mentioning: This city in the sky was planned and erected entirely by hand, its stones bound together only by their own weight.
After lunch at a local restaurant, it’s back on board the train to Ollantaytambo, and then the bus to Cuzco. You’ll be back at your hotel in the early evening. Dinner tonight is on your own.
