End your day in Lima with Peru's most well-known dish - ceviche!
Following your breakfast at the hotel, you will be transferred to the airport for your morning flight to Cusco. Upon arrival in Cusco, you will then transfer to your hotel in the Sacred Valley. En route, visit the Manos de la Comunidad farm and Pisac Market!
Today you will have a full day to explore the Sacred Valley at your leisure. Consider a visit to the famous salt terraces in Maras.
