What to expect
Chinchero
After a journey for approximately 1 hour, we will arrive at the village of Chinchero, a small indigenous Andean village located at a height of 3765 m. Chinchero was an important administrative and residential center during the Inca era, built by Túpac Inca Yupanqui. It is known for its agricultural terraces, temples and Inca roads that connect with other important sites in the Sacred Valley.
50 minutes
In a 35 minute drive we will arrive at our next destination Moray. Moray is presumed to have functioned as an experimental agricultural laboratory. The Incas would have cultivated different types of products in each platform, observing their behavior in different climatic conditions.
25 minutes
Admission Not Included
on a 30-minute journey on our transport, we will arrive at the salt works of Maras, or the famous "Salt Mines" located in the district of Maras. The Salt of Maras comes from an ocean trapped in the mountains thousands of years ago, which through a spring that leaves the middle of the mountain flows into the 4,200 pools of the Salineras de Maras, pools that families of the community of Maras work and harvest with an ancient technique for 600 years
30 minutes
Urubamba
After a journey of approximately 45 minutes, we will arrive in the province of Urubamba, here we will have free time to enjoy our buffet lunch with a variety of national and typical local dishes.
45 minutes
Ollantaytambo
After 45 minutes of transportation, we arrive at the village of Ollantaytambo, a charming village that preserves the designs of the Inca buildings, located at an altitude of 2770 meters in the province of Urubamba. Ollantaytambo was a strategic Inca center in the Sacred Valley, built in the 15th century by Pachacútec for military and agricultural control, and later expanded. He played a key role during the Spanish conquest as a point of resistance under the command of Manco Inca, achieving even a victory against the Spanish before his subsequent retreat. Currently, it is a famous tourist destination and the gateway to Machu Picchu, which retains its Inca urban design.
60 minutes
Parque Arqueologico Pisac
After a long journey of 1 hour 30 minutes approximately by transport we will arrive at this beautiful place in Pisaq. In the archaeological center of Pisac we will find houses, aqueducts, roads, bridges, towers, barracks, cemetery, ceremonial centers and a large sector of agricultural platforms. Pisac is also known for the large number of towers or viewpoints (approximately 20) that are located in various points of the place.
