About this activity
08:30 h. Our clients are collected from their respective hotels in Cusco by a representative of our agency. Then we will start our excursion to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. This beautiful valley is made up of numerous rivers that descend through gorges full of greenery and small valleys. In your tour you can visit two of the best Inca architectural remains that the valley houses. First we will go to the ruins of Pisaq, impressive construction built during the period of the Inca Empire. Here we can observe the great work accomplished by the Incas, through an endless number of agricultural terraces that adorn virtually all the mountains around it. In the center of the temple of Pisaq, we can observe an intiwatana (solar clock) and fine buildings inhabited by the Inca nobility 500 years ago. After our visit to this ancient Inca citadel, we will visit the modern town of Pisaq, which is located on the right bank of the Urubamba river, and is populated almost entirely by descendants of the Incas. Here we will visit a picturesque artisan market, and we can see how the people of this place maintains the tradition of exchanging their food or food, as they did in the past. For those who like to buy souvenirs, this place is undoubtedly one of the best places to do it, since there are many varieties of alpaca wool, silver and gold jewelry, among others. Then we will rest and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch in the heart of the Sacred Valley of Urubamba. Later we will go to the town of Ollantaytambo, where we will visit the beautiful fortress that bears the same name. Here we cover the most important sectors, and our guide will give us an explanation about this place. The hike to the top of Ollantaytambo is a bit steep so it is recommended to take it easy and go slowly. (bring a bottle of water). Once the guided tour in Ollantaytambo is completed, we will return to the city of Cusco. We will be arriving in Cusco approximately at 19:00 pm, to take you to your hotel.
