Detailed itinerary

The archaeological complex of Pisac, is situated on top of a mountain from where a good part of the sacred valley is dominated. This wonderful place is formed by groups of platforms and architectural structures scattered on the slopes and on the top of the mountain, Pisac is one of the most beautiful monumental centers of the valley because it combines the landscape with the impeccable finish of its constructions.

On the way back to Cusco we will visit the picturesque town of Chinchero, where the remains of the royal hacienda of Túpac Inca Yupanqui are located. You will admire its well preserved Inca Wall in the main square and visit the beautiful colonial temple with interesting frescoes on the porch, built on the foundations of an Inca building. Transfer to the selected hotel in Cusco to spend the night

Lunch at a local restaurant in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. In the afternoon we visit the Fortress and Citadel of Ollantaytambo, built to monitor the entrance to this part of the valley and protect it from possible invasions of the inhabitants of the jungle. We will have the opportunity to walk through the streets of the town and thus have a clear idea of how this military, religious and cultural center was during the Inca Empire.

Our first point of visit will be the picturesque town of Maras, in which place the houses still retain their colonial facades and have a beautiful Church.
