Descripción del Tour


We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco to begin our journey to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. This picturesque valley, situated just 9.3 miles northeast of the city, was historically significant for the Inca Empire due to its strategic location and favorable climate, with fertile lands ideal for agriculture.

The Sacred Valley's altitude stands at 2,800 meters above sea level, boasting one of the most pleasant climates in the region. It is home to a diverse flora and fauna, including wildflowers and animals such as the vizcacha, puma, and skunk, among others.

Our first stop will be the charming town of Pisac, located 20.5 miles away. This remarkable place features an impressive craft market and Inca sites with stone structures and breathtaking views of the valley, along with the iconic Inca terraces.

After exploring the Pisac market, we will proceed to the town of Urubamba to enjoy a delightful traditional Peruvian meal at a local restaurant by the Urubamba River. This buffet lunch offers a taste of regional specialties, including alpaca and trout.

Next, we will visit the town of Ollantaytambo, located at 2,792 meters above sea level. The Inca ruins of Ollantaytambo served as a military, religious, and agricultural hub for the Incas. The site offers stunning vistas and features over a hundred Inca terraces with an advanced irrigation system for its time.

You will ascend numerous steps to reach the summit of the Fortress and explore key areas such as the ceremonial center at Temple Hill. Here, we will delve into sites including the wall of the six monoliths, also known as the Temple of the Sun.

Our final stop will be the town of Chinchero, known for its vibrant Inca market brimming with traditional crafts such as ceramics and Andean textiles.

According to the Sacred Valley tribe, the Milky Way and its constellations were mirrored in the Urubamba River. Pachacutec, the ninth Inca emperor, initiated the expansion of the Inca Empire, known as Tahuantinsuyo. His notable achievements include the construction of the Fortress of Ollantaytambo, Sacsayhuamán, Coricancha, and the commencement of Machu Picchu.

Concluding this extraordinary experience, we will drop you off at Plaza El Regocijo, just a block from Plaza de Armas.
