About this experience
You will be transferred from the hotel to Ollantaytambo. The town of Ollantaytambo is a typical example of Inca urban planning still inhabited as in the past. Pachacutec (1438-1471) conquered the town, destroyed it and built a new one absorbing it as part of his empire, becoming one of the most remarkable archaeological complexes of the Inca Empire. Then, you will head to Pachar, a charming walled town. The facades of many of its houses were painted by their owners, showing colorful drawings that tell their stories and traditions. There you will find the Sacred Valley Brewery, where you can discover the brewing process of this delicious craft beer and enjoy its flavors. You will be transferred back to your hotel at the end of the tour.
