It is the second most visited place in Cusco after the trip within the City.

PISAQ

A small city is a large archaeological complex located in the district of Pisac, province of Calca, 33 km away. east of the city of Cusco visited by many tourists daily. There is a strange coincidence between the distances that unite the cities of Pisac, Cusco and Pikillacta, these coincide at 30 km. By joining these three cities with a straight line, a perfect equilateral triangle is achieved that creates multiple speculations about the incredible architectural genius that the Incas had. The beauty of its walls, built with large stone blocks polished with extraordinary symmetry and unmatched handling of stone, leaves the visitor perplexed. It has a very colorful market and amazing Inca architecture in the place called Complejo de Intihuatana.

URUBAMBA

The traditional town of Urubamba is one of the 7 districts that belong to the Province of the same name, the names of The Heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, The Pearl of Vilcanota have been attributed to it, it has a temperate and welcoming climate, this city Today it is one of the most beautiful in the Sacred Valley located 57 km from the city of Cusco at an approximate height of 2,870 meters above a plain that separates the central mountain range from the Andes. The Incas, as great experts, chose this land to establish their main towns. Its fertile fields are irrigated with the waters of the Vilcanota River, which upon entering the Province takes the name of the Urubamba River. Here we will have lunch (included) at the TUNUPA or Similar Restaurant. Afterwards we will continue to the archaeological center of Ollantaytambo.

OLLANTAYTAMBO

It is one of the most monumental architectural complexes of the Inca Empire, commonly called “Fortress”, due to its enormous walls, it was actually a Tambo or accommodation city strategically located to dominate the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Ollantaytambo is located in the district of the same name, province of Urubamba, approximately 60 km. northwest of the city of Cusco and with a height of 2792 meters above sea level. It is built on the side of a hill called Bandolista, its name means “Tambo de Ollanta” and is called Tambo or Tampu in Quechua.

It is a city where the design of the archaeological complex is confused with the current town. There is a very fine class of architecture, from the entrance you can see a main square, with its narrow streets, it is the main place to visit on the tour to Sacred Valley.

– Professional guide.

– Buffet lunch in a typical Urubamba restaurant.

Chinchero: : Located 28 kilometers from Cusco and is surrounded by the beautiful snow-capped mountains of Chichón and Verónica.

In its square you can still see the stone walls with trapezoidal niches that serve as a framework for the traditional Sunday market, where barter or exchange is still practiced.
