Adventure Tour in Cusco: A Five Day Itinerary That Does Not Include Machu Picchu

We share our 5 day itinerary in Cusco that does not include Machu Picchu. This is an alternative that every hiker should try at least once in a lifetime.

Cusco is one of the most magical cities in the world. It does not just have a lot of history, but the people from it are the kindest. In May of 2019 we decided to visit Cusco one more time, but in this occasion we wanted to do a different tour. Instead of visiting Machu Picchu, we went to new sites and we loved every one of it. If you want to try it, here is our itinerary.

The perfect itinerary to visit Dubai for first time visitors is here. Safari desert, high tea at the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai frame, everything in 3 days.

Three days in Yosemite National Park – Day 3 (Final)

This the itinerary to our last day at Yosemite National Park. This includes: Tenaya Lake, Tulomne Meadows, Soda Springs, Parsons Memorial Lodge, and dinner at Rush Creek Lodge.

In our humble opinion, the third day was the best one. For our last day we planned to have a simple hike and relax before leaving Yosemite. We started the day with an early and delicious breakfast at the Blackberry Inn, and then head-out to Tuolumne Meadows.

Three days in Yosemite National Park – Day 2

On our second day at Yosemite Park, we went to Washburn Point, Glacier Point, Sentinel Dome, and finished with dinner at Rush Creek Lodge.

Originally, on the second day we planned to do the Half Dome hike; however, we did not get selected for the permits. Because Half dome has high demand, the National Park Service does a lottery system two days in advance prior to the hiking date with a notification late that night. Because of that, we changed our plan and went to Glacier Point!

Three days in Yosemite National Park – Day 1

Day 1 of a 3 day itinerary for Yosemite National Park. Stop at Escalon, hike at Tuolumne Grove, and dinner at Groveland.

The drive from San Francisco to Yosemite National Park on the 4th of July was smooth. I guess it was the right choice to start our road trip on a holiday, most of the roads were empty. FYI the non-stop drive is about 3 hours and a half, but because we decided to make a stop for breakfast/lunch, it took a little bit more.

Three days in Yosemite National Park

A Yosemite 3 day itinerary for the summer which includes Tenaya Lake, Tuolumne Grove and Glacier point.

Rahul and I always wanted to go to Yosemite. The nature, the great sequoias, the pristine water, and everything else that Yosemite has to offer were perfect reasons for us to plan a trip to this amazing park. Also, we took advantage of the long weekend in July this year and planned everything from Wednesday 4th till Saturday 7th.

Although we did a 4-day road trip to Yosemite, we still consider it a 3-day plan. Why? Well, (spoiler alert!) the last day we just got up and drove back home. That is why you can do everything we did in 3 days! And believe us, it is worth it.

Since we are going to explain everything in detail, we decided to divide this post into 4 parts. First, this post, where we will explain our packing list, the accommodation we got, and our final itinerary. So let’s dig in
