Itinerario: cinco días en Cusco
A travel agency in Cusco emails a couple their itinerary: on day 1 they will arrive and rest because of the altitude; day 2 the historic centre; day 3 the Sacred Valley and the Pisac market; day 4 the train to Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu, with their passports; day 5 the flight back to Lima. Notes: only a small backpack is allowed on the train, it will be very cold at night, and there will be a free transfer from the airport.
