Itinerary
We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco to begin this exciting journey through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, located northeast of the city. Our first stop will be the Taray Viewpoint, where you can enjoy panoramic views of this beautiful valley, once highly valued by the Incas. After traveling approximately 30 km, we will arrive at the small town of Pisac.
We are going to explore the ruins of Pisac, a place with archaeological temples of stone buildings, with incredible views to the valley and the magnificent Inca platforms.
We will then continue to Urubamba, where you can enjoy a delicious buffet lunch at a traditional local restaurant.
Later, we will reach Ollantaytambo Fortress. Its temple was the headquarter of Inca’s army, as well as a religious and agricultural place. It has stunning views, and more than a hundred Inca platforms with an advanced irrigation canal for that period.
To finish the tour, we will visit Chinchero, and its typical and colorful Inca market, full of traditional craft as ceramics and Andean looms. According the Sacred Valley tribe, the Milky Way and its constellations were reflected in the Urubamba River. Pachacutec, who was the ninth Inca emperor, began the expansion of the Inca Empire called Tahuantinsuyo. Among his most important works are the Fortress of Ollantaytambo, Sacsayhuamán, Coricancha, and during his mandate the construction of Machu Picchu began. After this unique experience, we will drop you off at Plaza El Regocijo, or Plaza de Armas
