About this experience
This tour is very important because the most outstanding places of the Inca culture are known. Since we unite 5 historical places in this tour, which usually could be seen in two days of visiting, especially to save time for those who only have measured their vacation time. Living this adventure of the entire Sacred Valley is very gratifying since they know the Archaeological sites that were of great importance to our ancestors, such as the Moray Agricultural Laboratory, the salt mines of Maras, the archaeological remains of Chincheros, the majesty of the fortress of Ollantaytambo and the archaeological site of Pisaq, all these places accompanied by visits to their craft markets.
We also consider it important because doing this tour you can join the train trip to the town of Aguas Calientes and thus stay one night in the town and the next day visit Machupicchu very early and with more peace of mind.
