Highlights

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the spiritual heart of the Andes, where history, living culture and dreamscapes intertwine. Discover the mysteries of the ancient agricultural laboratories in Moray, marvel at the shimmering salt terraces of Maras and roam the Inca streets of Ollantaytambo, a city still breathing the energy of the Empire. Start your adventure in Chinchero, a town that keeps ancient traditions in its fabrics and colonial architecture on Inca foundations. Treat yourself to an Andean lunch in the fertile Urubamba Valley, before culminating in Pisac, with its impressive archaeological centre hung in the mountain and its colourful artisan market full of living culture. This tour is much more than an excursion: it is a deep connection with the land of the Incas, an awakening of the senses and an invitation to reconnect with the essentials.

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.
