Dedicated to Inca agriculture, you can observe agricultural platforms in different altitudinal levels.

The most important salt center in Peru, you will observe several salt deposits, a complete hill of salt, surprising place from where salt is extracted for all of Peru.

In this place you will have lunch in a tourist restaurant that offers buffet lunch with more than 30 varieties of typical dishes from the area of Peru.

Inca military fortress, built to protect the entrance to this part of the valley and protect it from possible invasions of the inhabitants of the jungle. We will have the opportunity to walk through the streets of the city and thus have a clear idea of how this military, religious and cultural center was during the Inca Empire.

Inca astronomical center, this wonderful place is formed by groups of platforms and architectural structures scattered on the slopes and at the top of the mountain. Pisac is one of the most beautiful monumental centers of the valley because it combines the landscape with the impeccable finish of its buildings.

After visiting Pisac, we will return to the city of Cusco around 7:30 pm, the transport will leave us very close to the main square, from where you can take a taxi to your hotel or go to dinner.
