Cusco – Pisac – Urubamba

At 7:00 a.m., we will pick you up from your Cusco hotel. Then, in our own private transportation, we’ll travel to Pisac. We’ll make a small halt at Taray at a viewpoint along the road.

It has a spectacular view of the valley below. In the Sacred Valley of the Incas, you will be able to view the Urubamba River flowing past the towns.

One of the largest and most magnificent inca sites, positioned on a hilltop above the hamlet, is located in Pisac. We will drive you up the hill to the complex’s main entrance. Our local expert will take you on a tour of the complex here.

We’ll take you down to the main square once you’ve toured the facility. The small cobblestone lanes here fill up with locals selling their goods on weekends.

We’ll drive you to Urubamba once you’ve gotten your enough of this lovely settlement. It is the lowest point of the Inca Sacred Valley. We’ll have a buffet lunch at a local restaurant while we’re here.

Ollantaytambo

We will continue the journey and visit Ollantaytambo after enjoying a traditional lunch. During the Inca Empire, this was the most important place. You will be able to see the Incas’ urban planning progress here. Ollantaytambo is one of the Inca empire’s oldest and continually inhabited settlements.

Two Inca ruins are situated between the settlement and the ruins.This is where you board the train that take you to Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail.

Chinchero, Maras, and Moray

Following our tour of Ollantaytambo, we will go to Maras and Moray. Both of these locations have played an important role in the past and continue to do so now. Moray has circular agricultural terraces that the Incas used as an agricultural laboratory.

The salt mines are located at Maras. It’s been passed down through the generations. The traditional Solar Evaporation salt farming technology is still used by the locals. Our local specialist will go over everything with you in great detail.

We will visit Chinchero at the end of our full-day holy valley excursion. Andean textile is produced there. Tourists frequently overlook this lovely and peaceful town. It now houses a white-washed chapel that was previously the Incan ruler Pachacutec’s imperial residence.

Chinchero has the most rich soil of all the Sacred Valley locations. Many farming terraces were erected during the Inca civilisation, under the reign of Pachacutec. The water canals here are a monument of Inca engineering’s progress.

We will drive you back to Cusco city later that evening. We’ll drop you off in Plaza Regocijo, which is just a block from Cusco’s main plaza, Plaza de Armas.
