Tour Plan

In the morning 7:30 a.m. Our transport will pick you up and we will go to Pisaq (1 hour and 30 min. approx.) We will pass by a natural viewpoint from where you can see a large part of the sacred valley.
Then we will continue to the typical market of Pisaq, which is the most famous in South America, then we will visit the archaeological center of Pisaq 2,950 meters above sea level. Pisac is a town that is located 30 km from Cusco, where we can find the ruins of the Sacred Valley that are part of one of the most important archaeological sites. Its foundations are based on a solid history, built with each piece rich in culture by the Inca communities. You can see the fine work on the stones that make up the place, also agricultural platforms.

After the visit we will continue to Urubamba where we will have a buffet lunch. After lunch we will go to Ollantaytambo 2,700 meters above sea level, a place that constituted an important Inca construction during its heyday attributed to the Inca Pachacuteq. It was a strategic military, religious and agricultural center that still dazzles with its stone-worked platforms and its imposing constructions over four meters high. In this place, Manco Inca faced the Spanish troops of Hernando Pizarro and was victorious. And finally we will visit Chinchero 3,762 meters above sea level. Chinchero was the place chosen by the Inca Túpac Inca Yupanqui to establish his residence. He had beautiful mansions built for his personal use and that of his panaca Where we will find important worship centers, as well as agricultural platforms built following the geography of the place, something that is striking is that as in other towns, the inhabitants, despite the passage of time, still preserve their ancestral customs such as the elaboration of their textiles and the form of clothing and the braids that characterize the women of the town. Then we will return to Cusco, arriving approx. at 6:30 p.m.
