— The journey

A complete Cusco route for active travelers who want the classic cultural days, Machu Picchu and two high-altitude nature routes: Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake.

This Cusco 6-day tour is for travelers who want a fuller itinerary than the 5-day package and feel comfortable adding both Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake. The sequence is important: you begin with Cusco and the Sacred Valley, then Machu Picchu, and only after that do the two high-altitude nature routes. Deicy's team coordinates the tickets, train, bus, guiding, local transfers and route logistics, while keeping the quote flexible for hotels and airport details that must be confirmed.

— Highlights
  • Machu Picchu plus two nature days
    A complete route with Sacred Valley, Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake.
  • Altitude days placed later
    The itinerary avoids putting Vinicunca or Humantay at the very beginning of the trip.
  • Good for active travelers
    Best for travelers who want cultural sites and high-altitude landscapes in the same Cusco stay.

Day 01
Day 1

Arrival and Cusco City Tour

Llegada
Arrival and Cusco City Tour
Start with the easiest day of the route: arrival logistics and the Cusco City Tour, depending on your flight time. The visit includes Qoricancha, Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay. This gives you context for the trip and avoids starting with a demanding altitude excursion.

Day 2

Sacred Valley and train connection

Full day
Sacred Valley and train connection
Travel through the Sacred Valley with visits in Pisac, buffet lunch in Urubamba and continuation to Ollantaytambo. From there, the route connects with the train toward Aguas Calientes. This avoids an unnecessary return to Cusco and keeps Machu Picchu logistics cleaner.

Day 3

Machu Picchu and return to Cusco

Manana
Machu Picchu and return to Cusco
The Machu Picchu day is organized around confirmed tickets, circuit and train schedule. You take the bus from Aguas Calientes, visit the llaqta with a professional guide and return by bus and train. Tikaymi coordinates the local transfer back toward Cusco after the train.

Day 04
Day 4

Rainbow Mountain

Madrugada
Rainbow Mountain
After several days in Cusco, you do the Vinicunca route. The day starts early and includes tourist transport, shared guide, semi-buffet breakfast and lunch, oxygen and first-aid kit for basic support. Deicy can advise whether this day should stay in the itinerary depending on your comfort with altitude.

Day 05
Day 5

Humantay Lake

Madrugada
Humantay Lake
Humantay is another early mountain day, with transport, shared guide, semi-buffet breakfast and lunch, oxygen and first-aid kit. It is beautiful but physical, so this 6-day package is better for travelers who want an active rhythm rather than a relaxed Machu Picchu-only route.

Day 6

Farewell or flexible departure

Farewell or flexible departure
The last day depends on your flight and the confirmed quote. If airport transfer is included, it is coordinated around your schedule. If you have extra time, Deicy can suggest a low-risk activity near Cusco rather than adding another demanding route.

— Questions

Before you book.

Is this package better than the 5-day tour?
Choose this if you want both Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake. If you want a lighter rhythm, the 5-day package may work better.
Are the high-altitude hikes difficult?
Yes. Both Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake are high-altitude routes. Deicy can adjust the order or replace one route if needed.
Is hotel included?
Hotel should be confirmed in the final quote according to your dates and category.
Who should avoid this 6-day package?
Travelers who want a slower rhythm or are worried about altitude may prefer the 4 or 5-day package, or replace one nature route.
Why not do Humantay or Rainbow Mountain first?
Both are high-altitude routes. Keeping them later gives your body more time in Cusco before the most physical days.
Can one nature route be replaced?
Yes. Deicy can quote a version with Palcoyo, Maras Moray, Valle Sur or a lighter day depending on your dates.
Are entrance fees to Humantay and Rainbow Mountain included?
They should be checked in the confirmed quote. Do not assume they are included unless Deicy states it in writing.
