This itinerary has been very popular most people prefering to take a connecting flight direct to Cusco on their arrival to Lima. In this case we organize the first flight of the day for those arriving late at night/ early morning and you need to checkin around 3.45am. At times it can take over an hour to get through immigrations and customs so the direct flight to Cusco is recommended and we serve you full breakfast on your arrival to Hotel Marqueses Cusco on an early flight. You can get a better idea of the programs and Hotel Marqueses by looking at some photos on the website. www.sastravelperu.com
As this package includes the Inca Trail bookings for high season (May to Oct )must be completed around 4 -6 months in advance because of limited Inca Trail to Machupicchu Pemits.
