Itinerary and highlights
Transfer to the most authentic market where Cusqueños do their everyday shopping, Vinocanchón. Far from tourist circuits, this is where locals shop each day. Accompanied by the chef who will prepare your Pachamanca, you’ll select fresh ingredients and experience the market’s immersive, everyday rhythm.
Visit to the Temple of Water (Tipón). This lesser-known Inca site features finely engineered terraces and an intricate network of canals still flowing with mountain water—a quiet testament to the Empire’s mastery of landscape and ritual
Discover the contemporary jewel of Cusco in this beautifully orchestrated full-day experience at Villa Tipón, an Exclusive Private Hacienda. Nestled at the foot of the Inca Temple of Water, Villa Tipón is nourished by sacred springs that flow through its bridges and gardens—turning this hidden estate into what many visitors call a living paradise.
Join a traditional Pachamanca, an ancestral feast where ingredients are buried and slow-cooked in the earth.
Next, explore the remarkable pathways of Huchuy Llaqta, the only handcrafted Andean village built to human scale. A miniature world that reflects the essence of Andean culture and its way of seeing the universe.
To conclude the day, meet the Inca himself, who will lead you on a symbolic journey through time, accompanied by the ritual music and sounds once heard in the days of the Empire, and share with you a glimpse of the wisdom his people still carry.
