Highlight of the day: ENYOY AND EXPLORE THE DIFERENT INCA SITE ALONG THE SACRED VALLEY OF THE INCAS .
Pick up at your hotel at 8.30 a.m. We leave the City of Cusco, passing “Saqsaywaman” over the mountains towards the Sacred Valley.
While we descend, you’ll be able to observe the interweaving sacred Urubamba River and the Village of Pisac. Once in Pisac, we’ll stop to visit a traditional market. You’ll have the opportunity to browse and buy local souvenirs if desired. We will spend about 30 minutes here. (For those who would prefer to spend more time in the market instead of visiting the ruins, advise your guide so he can organize a time and place to pick you up when returning through the market).
Next, we’ll drive up towards the ruins of Pisac. Here, you’ll explore the extensive ruins, all the while, enjoying the striking view of the valley. You will be given a guided tour of the Citadel of Pisac. Your tour guide will provide a thorough explanation of the; temples, homes, altars, carvings, tunnels, caves and the famous Intihuatana, “The hitching post of the sun”. You’ll have 90 minutes to explore the ruins.
Will board our bus and continue our tour to the City of Urubamba. We’ll have lunch.
Following lunch, we’ll continue our drive to Ollantaytambo (30 min), which is surrounded by sacred mountains. In Ollantaytambo, you’ll further your knowledge of the Incan construction.
Your guide will give a descriptive history of the amazing temple of the sun, huge stones that are perfectly carved and aligned, stone water fountains, stairs, and terraces. Let’s not forget the locals that still utilize traditional attire.
On our return, we’ll make a quick (30 minute) visit to the famous church and archaeological site in Chincheros. Finally, we’ll return to Cusco around 6:30-7:00 p.m.
