After breakfast, transfer to the airport for your flight to Cuzco. Upon arrival, you will be taken to the Plaza de Armas, Cuzco's busiest square, surrounded by Spanish-style arcades and Catholic churches, and to the northeast of the plaza, the temples built on the tops of towering pyramids. To the southeast are the remains of the walls of the Temple of the Serpent and the Mansion of the Goddess of the Sun, which face each other on the left and right. All around are baroque buildings dotted with cafes, stores, markets and historical monuments. The walk to the top of the hill offers a great view of the entire city of Cuzco. Afterwards, visit the White Christ Statue, located on Cuzco's Monte Cristo overlooking the city, about 8 meters high, a gift to Cuzco from Palestinians from Arabia who sought refuge after World War II. The White Christ, with arms spread outward, looks like a miniature version of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro. We will then proceed to the Temple of the Sun, the most revered temple in Cusco and throughout the Inca Empire, dedicated to the God of the Sun. Transfer to the Sacred Valley and check in to your hotel.
Tip: The average altitude of the Sacred Valley is only about 2000 meters above sea level, so most of our guests will not suffer from altitude sickness.
After breakfast, take a 30 minute bus ride to the Sacred Valley train station, then take the train to the city of the hot springs (about 1 hour and 30 minutes by train), and then transfer to the park bus for a 30 minute ride to the "Lost City" - Machu Picchu, an ancient city of the ancient Inca Empire in southern Peru. "Machu Picchu means "ancient mountaintop" in the Inca language. Built on a cliff, this mysterious Inca city is divided into several areas: a cemetery, a prison, a living quarter and a temple area, all built with rough stone masonry and exquisite craftsmanship, reflecting the glory of the Inca dynasty and listed as one of the world's top ten civilisations. At the end of the tour you will descend the mountain for lunch, then take the train back to the Sacred Valley station and transfer you to the Hotel in Cuzco.

In the morning we will meet you at your hotel and then depart by scenic bus to Puno, located on the shores of Lake Titicaca, the largest freshwater lake in South America, on the border between southeast Peru and Bolivia, the capital and largest city of Puno district, and the largest port city near the lake. We will stop at the Sistine Chapel of the Americas, built in the 16th century, at an altitude of 3,100 meters. Afterwards we will arrive at the Temple of Wiracocha, at an altitude of 3,400 meters, one of the most important temples built by the ancient Incas in honor of Apo Kon Titi Wiracocha.
At noon we will have a highland lunch in Sicuani. After lunch we will arrive at La Raya, a mountain with an altitude of 4,300 meters, whose snowmelt provides rich water for Lake Titicaca. Afterwards we visit the Pucara Museum. Pucara is the first population center in the Titicaca Lake area, which provides valuable information for the study of the origins of the later Andean civilization. At its height, the city covered more than one square kilometer and was home to tens of thousands of officials, priests, artisans, herders and warriors.
Afterwards, we will go to Puno to check in at the hotel and then you can have a short rest before visiting the Puno city center on your own.
After breakfast, we will meet you at the hotel and take you to the Titicaca Lake boat point. Lake Titicaca is the highest and largest freshwater lake in South America and one of the highest large freshwater lakes in the world, with 52 islands, mostly inhabited. It is surrounded by mountains, the peaks are covered with snow all year round, and the shores of the lake are meandering, and the water is crystal clear. The Wuluo people who live on the lake live on artificial islands made of cattails, and they also use cattails to weave into a kind of boat called "Totola", which is convenient for the people to sail and fish on the lake.
After the tour, take a 4-hour bus ride to La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, and upon arrival, check in to your hotel for a rest.
Early flight to Uyuni and upon arrival we will go to the salt marshes to visit the train graves and korchani to observe the local people harvesting salt by hand and the handmade salt artifacts. During the rainy season, the surface of the salt marshes is covered with water, creating a giant mirror in which the sky is reflected and everything seems to float. Continue to the salt marshes and arrive at the "White Beach": a small museum, visit the "Eye of Salt" - the point of exit of the underground water, as well as the salt mounds processed by the people of Korçani and the hexagonal geometric shapes of the salt blocks formed by the salt. Then have lunch in the salt marsh and return to the hotel.
Note: Due to the flooding of the salt marshes during the rainy season, the vehicle will only reach a safe place.
Today continue to the Uyuni Salt Marsh, the world's largest salt-covered wilderness, stretching 12,500 square kilometers, a product of the Ice Age. In addition to the endless salt flats, there are pink flamingos, thousand year old cacti, rare hummingbirds, and hotels built entirely of salt bricks, making the Uyuni Salt Marsh a must-see for tourists in South America. Enjoy a photo stop here today for interesting perspective. Lunch will be near Cactus Island. Hike to the top of the island and enjoy the view of giant cacti and rock formations made of petrified coral. Today you can stay a little later to capture the sunset views and return to Uyuni town to end the pleasant tour.

Early flight back to La Paz, upon arrival, the guide will lead you to take the unique cable car in La Paz, as the world's highest capital city, the cable car is not only a means of transportation for sightseeing, but also an important public transportation in the city.

Continue to Plaza Murillo with the Cathedral, the Government Palace and the Capitol, visit the Church of San Francisco (Basilica de San Francisco) (exterior), then stroll through the Witches' Market (Mercado de lasbrujas) which opens a window to the mystical world of the Andes, explore the Old Town and learn about the mystical shamanic witch-doctor culture of the region.
Then visit the famous Valley of the Moon, 20 km from the city center, which is not really a valley, although it is called "Valley of the Moon". It's a forest of sandstone that comes in different shades of beige, red and deep purple due to its richness in different types of minerals. The whole area is characterized by incredible surface erosion, surprising rock shapes and much more, making it a strange part of the planet. After dinner, check into your hotel and relax.
