        Ollantaytambo

        Visit the Inca fortress town of Ollantaytambo. The site was built just as the Spaniards arrived. It is a fascinating place to explore. There is a fortress at the top of the hill (and quite a few steps) which is particularly interesting for the techniques the Incas used in its construction.

You’ll have some free time to explore the citadel and climb up either Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain. Both scenic sites offer incredible, sweeping views, but vary in route.

        Sanctuary Lodge

        The only accommodation located inside of Machu Picchu, The Sanctuary Lodge offers stunning views from many of the rooms and the hotel is within walking distance of the Incan ruins. The gorgeous garden is a wonderful place to have breakfast or a cocktail in the evening while relishing in the peace of the surroundings. Given the location, space is at an economy so the standard rooms are not overly spacious. However, this is a small price to pay for such a stunning location. All meals are included in the cost.
