Detailed Itinerary
In the morning we will pick you up at your hotel from 7:45 to 8:00 a.m., then we will travel by tourist transport to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. On the way we will stop at strategic viewpoints, we can see the sacred valley and get into the Inca history, once we arrive at the Pisac Archaeological Park and then visit the typical native market of the town of Pisac, where we will have the opportunity to appreciate the different forms of trade and crafts. Then our next stop will be in Urubamba, traveling along the banks of the Vilcanota River after coordination with the guide we will have a buffet lunch. After lunch in the afternoon we will visit the Ollantaytambo Fortress, where we will have the opportunity to walk around the town and get an idea of what this archaeological, religious and cultural center was like during the Inca Empire. On the way back to Cusco we will stop in the town of Chinchero, where we will observe the process of alpaca wool and also visit the archaeological complex of Chinchero, where we will find the remains of the royal hacienda of Tupac Inca Yupanqui. At the end of the excursion we will return to Cusco.
PISAC: It is made up of groups of archaeological remains including platforms, aqueducts, roads associated with walls and gates, channeled waterways, cemeteries and bridges.
OLLANTAYTAMBO: It was built during the Inca period as a fortified area that includes a temple, terraces and an urban sector. Two sectors can be distinguished: one called “Araqama Ayllu”, an area linked to worship and religion; and the second “Qosqo Ayllu”, an area dedicated to housing.
CHINCHERO: In the workshops of the artisan associations, the entire weaving process is exhibited daily, from the washing of the wool to the final product, where one can witness the spinning, dyeing and weaving techniques that are still practiced by the people of Chinchero.
Currently the textiles of Chinchero are very well known for their dedication in the elaboration and for maintaining the Inca textile tradition as a base, mainly for their well known “LORAYPO” weaving.
