Itinerary and highlights

Our adventure begins at 7:00 am, we will pick you up at your hotel, to go to the town of Chinchero

Chinchero, a very traditional and typical place where you will find Inca wall constructions and a colonial Church that keeps abundant history. In addition, you will have the opportunity to visit the Textile Interpretation Center, a place full of crafts and colorful fabrics.

Continuing our tour, we will go to Moray, also known as the Inca Agricultural Laboratory. These famous for their circular terraces were used for agricultural experimentation, since each of them has a different microclimate.

We will visit Salineras located northwest of the town of Maras, they are made up of about 2,000 small wells, which were already exploited since the Inca era as a means of economic exchange and continue to be exploited by the locals.

We will continue our trip to the town of Urubamba, where we have our buffet lunch with exquisite local and Cusco cuisine. After lunch, we will board the transport to go to Ollantaytambo

We will visit the Ollantaytambo Fortress, built to guard the entrance to this part of the valley and protect it from possible invasions by the inhabitants of the jungle.
