Itinerary
Pisac
The first place we will visit is the archaeological complex of Pisac (Pisaq in Quechua) at the top of the mountain, where we will also appreciate the breadth of the Sacred Valley. At first sight, the groups of Inca platforms and structures will stand out on the side of the mountain, the perfect cuts in the rock will dazzle us and show us the impeccable construction.
Urubamba
Its best advantage is its lower altitude and being a midpoint between high-end hotels and tour packages to Chinchero, Maras Moray and the Sacred Valley. Although it is not too close to the Machupicchu routes, without a doubt its geographical location connects us to everything, for example, which is our lunch spot on the Sacred Valley tour.
Ollantaytambo
Of the entire tour of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, this would be the most important for its military, religious, administrative and agricultural archeological wealth. The Fortress and Citadel of Ollantaytambo protected the entire valley from the invasions of the jungle so its importance was very high.
Today Ollantaytambo remains as intact as it once was, its houses are still used as homes of their descendants and walking through its streets is like visiting a museum city.
Ollantaytambo is also the scene of a legend of a forbidden love affair between a commoner and a princess that is staged in the same Inca citadel and interpreted in the native Quechua language.
Chinchero
Upon our return to the city of Cusco, we will pass through the town of Chinchero, where its culture is dominated by native handmade textiles, ideal for making some purchases in its tourist area. This city maintains many buildings such as the Inca wall and the Hispanic era, mainly its temple.
Finally we will arrive to the city of Cusco at 7:00 pm approximately.
