Itinerary and highlights
Chinchero is a picturesque Andean town located about 30 km from the city of Cusco, Peru. Known as the "Land of the Rainbow," it combines history, culture, and living traditions.

At over 3,700 meters above sea level, Chinchero offers stunning Andean landscapes, with views of the Salkantay snow-capped mountain and the surrounding valleys. It is also an important crossing point to the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
Moray is an impressive Inca archaeological complex located approximately 38 km from Cusco, Peru. It stands out for its enormous concentric circular terraces, which form a large natural amphitheater. It is believed that the Incas used it as an agricultural experimentation center, as each level has a distinct microclimate, allowing for the cultivation of various crops in different conditions. Surrounded by mountains and Andean landscapes, Moray is a unique site that combines science, history, and mysticism, making it a must-see stop on any tour of the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
Lunch is enjoyed in Urubamba, at the renowned Tunupa restaurant, a place surrounded by beautiful gardens and overlooking the Vilcanota River, where Andean and international cuisine are combined in a unique atmosphere.

Known as the "living Inca city," it preserves cobblestone streets, water channels, and homes that maintain the original layout of the Inca era. Its main attraction is the imposing fortress and ceremonial center built on the mountainside, from which you can appreciate agricultural terraces and spectacular views of the valley. Ollantaytambo is also the departure point for the train to Machu Picchu, making it a key stop for travelers who combine history, culture, and adventure.
Pisac is one of the most iconic destinations in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, located approximately 33 km from Cusco. Its main attraction is the impressive Inca ruins spread across a mountaintop, with perfectly preserved agricultural terraces and stone temples that reveal the grandeur of Inca architecture.
