The area of the valley between Pisac and Ollantaytambo is known as the Sacred Valley of the Incas. On this tour we will drive through the mountains to the “Sacred Valley of the Incas” – which held great significance in Inca Culture. The Valley has a milder climate than Cusco and we will see a succession of picturesque villages, agricultural terraces, and many archaeological sites. This tour is the “Traditional” or Classic tour, that is designed to see all of the Sacred Valley in one, action packed, whirlwind day! If you have more time, we recommend an overnight stay in the Sacred Valley (we recommend either Ollantaytambo or Urubamba) and being able to soak up some of the relaxed atmosphere.
Itinerary
We will drive towards Pisac where you can see a great fine art of stone works and impressive agricultural terraces all over the place. After touring around we will get back to the car and will drive back to the town of Pisac, where there is a peculiar market that deserve to be visited. At the market you will have free time to walk around and do some shopping. Lunch in Urubamba
We will drive along the Urubamba River towards the town of Ollantaytambo. Once we get there we will visit the archeological site of Ollantaytambo, an important Inca construction built during the Inca’s heydays. This is an extraordinary Inca place where besides the ruins you may also see an amazing rock formation representing the Inca god Wiracocha. Afterwards, we will return to Cusco.
