Itinerary:

We will take care of picking you up at your hotel to start an adventure to the wonderful Sacred Valley of the Incas. During the trip, you will be able to enjoy spectacular landscapes and small villages, and we will make some stops at the Qorao and Taray viewpoints to admire the mountain peaks and the Vilcanota river that flows through this valley. We will also have the opportunity to visit the Pisac market, where you will be able to see and buy crafts made by local inhabitants with ancient traditions.

After this experience, we will head to the Pisac Archaeological Complex, located approximately 30 minutes from the city of Cusco. Here you will find important Inca constructions and terraces, as these served as a place of adaptation for local products and as a surveillance point for the entrance to the sacred valley. During a 2-hour guided visit, our guide will provide you with comprehensive information about the archaeological complex.

Next, we will go to the town of Urubamba where we will have a delicious buffet lunch with typical dishes from the region at a tourist restaurant. Then, we will continue to Ollantaytambo, known as the living Inca town, where we will have a guided visit to the archaeological complex and we will be able to see the impressive face of the god Tunupa on the mountain.

Next, we will head to Chinchero, located at 3750 m above sea level, 28 kilometers from Cusco in the province of Urubamba. Here you will find the Sunday market, which originally was a place for bartering between local inhabitants and today is a tourist attraction due to the offer of its Inca crafts and pre-Columbian style distilleries. Finally, we will return to Cusco.
