GENERAL INFORMATION
Important: These day trips can start from the airport upon your arrival, hotel in Cusco, or from the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The choice is yours.
The Sacred Valley of the Incas was a divine place for the Incas, a gift that the Sun God gave them for their subsistence, for its geography and its wonderful climate. Our journey begins with the beautiful landscapes of the surrounding Andes Mountains and valley. Stop at the Awanacancha llama farm to pet the adorable llamas and alpacas. Then off to the Pisac archeological site and the colorful market, Ollantaytambo Inca town with its fabulous ruins on the side of town, and finally the small village of Chinchero for a colorful traditional weaving demonstration.
Itinerary
In the morning we leave Cusco to the Sacred Valley of the Incas, a scenic drive admiring the surrounding Andes mountains and valley. Stop at the Awanacancha Center to see the camelids, alpacas, and llamas. Continue to the Inca ruins of Pisac for a delightful hike walking around the ruins to the Sun Temple seeing the water channels and surrounding agricultural terraces. After our visit, we will drive down to the town of Pisac to stroll around the handicraft market where you may pick up some souvenirs. Drive along the Vilcanota River to the town of Urubamba for lunch. Tour the Inca town of Ollantaytambo and visit the archeological site which faces town. Our last visit takes us to the town of Chinchero for a colorful traditional weaving demonstration, and a visit to the colonial church and the ruins. Return to your hotel in Cusco or Sacred Valley.
Note: If you start the tour in Cusco and will stay in the Sacred Valley you will not be able to visit Chinchero. However, if you want to visit Chinchero it will be for an additional cost. Consult us.
