ITINERARY

Day 1: Cusco- Sacred Valley

We will pick you up you at the certain time from the airport and then leave our stuff at the hotel and start with the tour visiting;

Pisac 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

Pisac 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.

Urubamba:  Urubamba was one of the principle centers of agriculture during the period of the Incas, located in the center of the Sacred Valley.  This is where we will have our buffet lunch.

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.

Chinchero: This place was the real hacienda of Tupac Inca Yupanqui, son of Pachacutec whom at fifteen years old inherited the throne.  Chinchero is known as the city of the rainbow, because of its location experiencing frequent rain.  The foundations the walls were of limestone and finely-worked into the interior of the Palace

CHECK AVAILABILITY

Inka Sites Adventures offer daily departures on the Inca Trail (excluding February when the trail is closed).

Since 2000 the Inca trail has been regulated by the country of Peru. This has provided many wonderful things, like clean trails and camping sites, but it has also limited the amount of people on the trail each day. Now only 500 people are permitted on the trail every morning – this includes hikers, guides, porters and cooks. If your date is not available, do not fret, there are many wonderful treks to Machu Picchu – just as beautiful as the Inca trail and not as crowded.
