Day 2: Sacred Valley Tour (B) (L)

Places to visit:

Pisaq Market. Located about 35 kilometers from Cusco city, we first stop at the Pisac Market, one of the oldest and impressive markets in the area.  It was once a place for the Inca people to interchange products including textiles, ceramics, and jewelry and is still a place offering these same handcrafted items as well as paintings

Pisaq Ruins. This was a fortified city on the way toward the Antisuyo or Amazon jungle that according to many historians was established there to protect the great capital of possible enemy attacks.  Nowadays you can see the walls that protected this place, in addition to viewing many agricultural terraces that were used to produce food for the Quechuas, some of the houses, and remains of aqueducts and fountains that served to supply the whole area.

Moray: Belonging to the classic Incan period, these giant circular terraces that make up the site of Moray resemble a soccer stadium, only without the seats. According to one traditional theory, Moray may have been a series of amphitheaters with a capacity for 70,000 people, which could have served to train young Incas and for hosting social or religious festivities since from the base of the lower platform to the last platform at the top voices can be heard very clearly throughout this site.  A more modern theory believes that Moray was built of an agricultural nature because of the shape and position of the terraces, the existence of water channels and the existance of different micro-climates.

Ollantaytambo. This word is composed from the Quechua language, Ollanta which is a person’s name, and Tambo (or Tanpu) which refers to a city offering lodge, food and commodities for travellers.  According to classic literature, Ollanta was a captain that formed part of the Inca Pachacutec army and was distinguished from others for his courage and great skill.  He had a secret love affair with the King’s daughter, and the story ended well and happy, with a daughter born and given the name Ima Sumaq.

After the tour we will go to the train station where we will catch the train that will take to Aguas Calientes town. The train journey takes about 2 hours and offers nice journey on landscapes combining mountains and jungle. The train descends to 2000 meters in the direction of the Urubamba River. Definitely this is one of the nicest rides. Upon your arrival in Aguas Calientes our representative will meet you at the station and then take you to the hotel you will have a free afternoon option to visit by your own the hot spring.
