Itinerary and highlights
sacred Valley
The Pisac craft market is our first stop located in the town of Pisac, this famous market is one of the most desired by tourists who visit Cusco, since you can get all kinds of artisan products, carved in stones, wood, ceramics , textiles, medicinal plants and a wide variety of souvenirs.
Then we will visit the Archaeological Center of Pisac, located 30 km from the city of Cusco, this place is very interesting, since according to studies, they indicate that it was the real estate of the Inca Pachacutec. The archaeological site includes spaces for domestic use and others for ceremonial uses. You will be able to appreciate an Inca city formed by numerous squares and neighborhoods, which had different functions, such as agricultural, worship and astronomical observatory.
After the tour of Pisac, we will make an important stop: The buffet lunch. We will visit one of the most popular typical restaurants in the region where you can taste a wide variety of dishes originating in the region.
After having delighted the palate, we headed to Ollantaytambo, the most monumental architectural complex of the ancient Inca Empire, commonly called "Fortress", due to its huge walls. The straight, narrow and picturesque streets today form fifteen blocks of houses located north of the main square, which in themselves constitute a true historical legacy.
Our last stop is in Chinchero, where the remains of the royal estate of Túpac Inca Yupanqui are located. What is most striking is its well preserved Inca Wall in the main square and the beautiful colonial temple with interesting frescoes on the portico, built on the foundations of an Inca building.
At 8:00 p.m. we will arrive in Cusco. Disembarkation point: Plaza San Francisco.
