Peru 6-Day Itinerary: Lima to Machu Picchu
This Peru 6-day itinerary starts at Lima airport and ends at Cusco airport. It includes two nights in Lima, one in Cusco after the Lima–Cusco flight, one in Urubamba after the Sacred Valley tour, and a final night in Cusco after Machu Picchu. Daily breakfast and two lunches are included; Café Inkaterra is scheduled for day 5.
Day 1: Arrival in Lima
A representative meets you for a private pickup at Lima airport and transfer to your hotel. Your first overnight is in Lima. Early check-in is excluded.
Day 2: Lima City Tour and Larco Museum
Your Lima city tour visits Santo Domingo, Casa Aliaga and the Larco Museum. These three stops give the capital its own place in the journey rather than using Lima only as an airport connection. You stay in Lima for a second night, completing the two-night allocation before the route continues to Cusco the following day.
Day 3: Lima to Cusco and City Tour
Travel from Lima to Cusco on a domestic flight that is not included in the package. The Cusco city tour covers Coricancha, the Cathedral, Sacsayhuamán and Tambomachay, followed by your first Cusco overnight. Coordinate your flight choice with the day’s sightseeing before buying airfare. The Cusco city tour page provides a useful reference when comparing this part of the route.
Day 4: Sacred Valley and Urubamba Overnight
The Sacred Valley day includes Parwa Cultural Center, Chinchero and Ollantaytambo. You then stay overnight in Urubamba, not Cusco. This is the package’s single Sacred Valley hotel night and an important detail when considering accommodation choices. The Sacred Valley tour is the relevant comparison for travelers looking more closely at the valley portion of the journey.
Day 5: Machu Picchu by Train and Return to Cusco
Travel by train from Ollantaytambo for your guided Machu Picchu citadel tour. Lunch at Café Inkaterra is included, and the route returns to Cusco for the final hotel night. This is a train-based Machu Picchu tour, with round-trip Expedition rail travel included. The overnight is in Cusco, not beside Machu Picchu, so plan your departure arrangements around that return.
Day 6: Departure from Cusco
Your package ends with a private transfer to Cusco airport. Any onward flight or flight back to Lima is separate from the package.
What Is Included and Excluded?
This 6-day / 5-night package includes five hotel nights, daily breakfast, two lunches, listed tours, Lima and Cusco airport transfers, the full Cusco Tourist Ticket, round-trip Expedition train travel and a guided Machu Picchu visit; international and domestic flights are excluded.
The full Cusco Tourist Ticket (BTC) is included; this does not establish whether Machu Picchu admission or shuttle transport is included. See the Machu Picchu section below for the outstanding quote details. Read the Cusco Tourist Ticket guide for ticket terminology.
One of the two lunches is at Café Inkaterra on day 5; the other lunch day is not specified. Budget for meals outside the stated allowance, drinks, tips, insurance and any early check-in or late check-out.

Five Hotel Categories and Private-Service Upgrades
Choose from five hotel categories, from Comfort to Luxury, and upgrade services to private if preferred. The five-night allocation stays consistent across the route: two nights in Lima, two in Cusco and one in Urubamba. Hotel category and service style are separate choices, so explain both preferences when requesting your quote.
Five hotel categories are available, with Comfort and Luxury the named endpoints. Request the intermediate categories and proposed properties for your dates rather than assuming star ratings.
The group size is capped at 16, and private-service upgrades are available. Ask which services are shared or private in the option quoted for your dates. Hotel category and service style are separate choices.
Machu Picchu by Expedition Train
Day 5 includes the train from Ollantaytambo, a guided Machu Picchu visit, lunch at Café Inkaterra and a return to Cusco. The package includes round-trip Expedition train travel, making Machu Picchu by train an integral part of the journey rather than an optional excursion added later.
Your previous night is in Urubamba and your next night is in Cusco. This is a train-based visit, not a trekking itinerary. Luggage storage is not listed as an inclusion; check available arrangements and current train baggage conditions before packing.
The package facts confirm a guided Machu Picchu visit and round-trip Expedition train travel, but do not specify whether the admission ticket or shuttle bus is included. Ask for both items in writing with your quote, along with the entry circuit, visit duration, entry time and train schedule. If you only need the excursion, compare the Machu Picchu day trip.
Airport Transfers and the Lima–Cusco Flight
The tour starts at Lima airport and finishes with a private transfer to Cusco airport; the Lima–Cusco flight is not included. Airport transfers and airline tickets are different services. The package covers the documented ground transfers, while you arrange and pay for international and domestic flights separately.
Day 1 includes a representative and private airport pickup to your Lima hotel. Day 3 requires a separately booked flight to Cusco; coordinate its timing with the Cusco city tour before buying airfare. Day 6 includes a private transfer to Cusco airport.
Tour Difficulty, Cusco Altitude and Group Size
The package is rated easy, reaches 3,400 m in Cusco and has a maximum group size of 16. The easy rating describes the package format; it is not a medical assessment or a promise that every traveler will find the route equally comfortable. Altitude remains an important consideration even when Machu Picchu is reached by train.
Cusco is the route’s documented highest point at 3,400 m. Read our Cusco altitude preparation guide; for personal health concerns, seek advice from a qualified clinician before travel. A private-service upgrade does not change the route’s altitude.
