Itinerary and highlights

This fascinating tour begins with the pick-up service at your hotel between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. Our journey will take us through the beautiful Sacred Valley, with Pisac as our first destination of the day. Along the way, we'll make a stop at an iconic spot known as the Sacred Valley Lookout, from where you can gaze upon the magnificence of the Sacred Valley and uncover the rich Inca history that surrounds it.

Next, we will visit the Pisac archaeological complex, located high on a mountain. This marvelous site consists of terraces and architectural structures scattered on the slopes and at the mountaintop, a wonderful blend of landscapes and constructions.

We will then head to the artisan market, where you can appreciate a wide variety of ancestral crafts.

We will pass through Urubamba, where we will pause for lunch. You will get to taste typical Peruvian cuisine, with a wide range of dishes, including salads, soups, main courses, the famous ceviche, and delicious desserts.

After lunch, we will visit the architectural complex of Ollantaytambo, a living village built to oversee the entrance to this part of the valley and protect it from potential invaders. We will have the opportunity to walk through its streets and gain a clearer idea of how this place served as a military, religious, and cultural center during the Inca Empire.

Lastly, we will head to the picturesque village of Chinchero, where you can find the remains of Túpac Inca Yupanqui's royal estate. In the main square, you can see well-preserved Inca walls.

Finally, we'll return to the city of Cusco, arriving around 7:00 PM, dropping you off near the Plaza de Armas of Cusco.
