After breakfast, your guide will take you to the pick-up point to take the bus to the entrance of Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu is the lost inca city, an incredible "city in the sky" nestled in white clouds between lofty mountains and mountains. Because of its unique geographical location, it has been fortunate to escape the catastrophe of colonization, temples, palaces, houses and other buildings have been well preserved, and it has left the world with the unsolved mystery of how the Incas transported so many huge stones to the mountains at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters hundreds of years ago. Machu Picchu was the last Inca city to resist the colonizer invasion, and some say it was built to recreate a specific landscape in Inca mythology, while others say it celebrates the sacred rivers and mountains that surround it, and after hundreds of years of wind and rain, it is still quietly waiting for you to unveil the mystery. We will take you along the labyrinth of ancient city walls in search of ancient imprints, stroll along the ancient Inca trail to experience the mysteries and vicissitudes of Machu Picchu, and climb the sacred Sun Gate to overlook the panoramic view of the ancient city. Machu Picchu is flanked by majestic mountains on one side and a gorge up to four kilometres deep on the other, looking up at the magnificent snow-capped mountains and looking down at the lush rainforest, you can also get up close and personal with the cute alpacas of the "Net Red Mythical

After breakfast, take you by car to the ruins of Sacsay-Vaman. It is an Inca stone-walled building about 2 km from the ancient city of Cusco, Peru, at an altitude of 3,700 meters. As with other Inca stone buildings, how they were built remains a mystery. Many stones are difficult to insert even a piece of paper in the middle. This precision, along with the rounded corners of the limestone blocks, the diversity of stone connecting shapes, and the inward tilt of the walls, allowed the site to survive the devastating earthquake in Cusco. You will be taken to Cusco's busiest Plaza de Armas, surrounded by Spanish-style arcades and Catholic churches, to the northeast of which is a temple built on top of a towering pyramid. The remains of the walls of the Temple of the Serpent and the Sun Goddess Building, which face each other left and right, are located in the southeast of the square. It is surrounded by Baroque buildings, full of coffee shops, shops, markets and historical sites, and when you reach the top of the hill, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the entire city of Cusco. Afterwards head to the White Christ Statue, located high on Cusco Monte Cristo overlooking the city, about 8 meters high as a gift from Palestinians from Arabia when they searched for refuge after World War II. The statue depicts Christ spreading his arms outwards, like a miniature version of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro.
