Itinerary
Explore the impressive archaeological site of Pisac, one of the Sacred Valley’s gems. Walk among agricultural terraces that descend dramatically into the valley, admire temples and ceremonial structures, and enjoy sweeping mountain views. Your guide will explain the Inca engineering and spiritual traditions that shaped this site. Afterward, you may visit the colorful Pisac Market (optional), where local artisans sell textiles, jewelry, and handicrafts, offering a unique opportunity to experience the vibrant Andean culture.
Discover the fascinating Maras Salt Mines, a dazzling patchwork of thousands of salt ponds built into the mountainside. These salt pans, in use since pre-Inca times, are still harvested by local families using traditional techniques. As the sunlight reflects off the pools, the landscape creates a unique and photogenic sight. Learn about the cultural and economic importance of Maras while capturing unforgettable pictures of this extraordinary place in the Sacred Valley.
Visit the mysterious circular terraces of Moray, considered by many archaeologists to be an ancient Inca agricultural laboratory. Each concentric terrace creates its own microclimate, allowing the Incas to experiment with different crops at varying altitudes and temperatures. As you walk around these enormous earthworks, your guide will explain how this site highlights the innovation, knowledge, and connection to nature that defined Inca civilization. Moray remains one of the most intriguing and unique sites in the Sacred Valley.
Step into living history at Ollantaytambo, an Inca fortress and village that still preserves its original layout. Climb the monumental terraces leading to the Temple of the Sun, admire finely carved stone walls, and learn about the battles fought here during the Spanish conquest. The site offers breathtaking views of the valley and surrounding mountains. After exploring the ruins, stroll through the charming cobblestone streets of Ollantaytambo town, where traditional Andean life continues amidst centuries-old canals and architecture.

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
