Sacsayhuaman and Pisac Private Tour from Cusco

The tour begins with the departure from Cusco to the Sacred Valley to visit the archaeological complex of Pisac, one of the most notable of the Inca legacy.

Nestled high on the mountain, this set of platforms, temples and ceremonial grounds offers a privileged view over the valley and demonstrates Inca mastery in adapting agriculture to difficult terrain. Temples dedicated to the sun and the Andean deities reveal the spiritual importance of the place, while its agricultural terraces continue to surprise for their perfection and functionality. After touring this archaeological site, the itinerary continues with a step through the colorful artisan market of Pisac, where you can appreciate the richness of local craftsmanship in fabrics, ceramics and silver jewelry.

Returning to Cusco, the experience is completed with a visit to the imposing ceremonial fortress of Sacsayhuamán, located high in the city. Its huge stone walls, perfectly fitted without mortar, are one of the greatest feats of Inca engineering and the scene of religious ceremonies and festivities that still have continuity today, such as the Inti Raymi. From its esplanades, moreover, you get an unparalleled panoramic view of Cusco and the surrounding mountains.

We're back in Cusco. This half-day tour allows you to delve into both the architectural splendour of the Sacred Valley and the monumentality of the Inca capital, combining two of the most emblematic places of Andean culture.
