VALLE SAGRADO
This one day tour is a quick way to see the highlights of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. In the
morning, you will leave Cusco and first visit one of the most important archaeological sites
in the region. The complex is located about 30 km northwest of Cusco. The Inca site was
built taking an advantage of a dry and rocky mountain. Furthermore, its location provided
protection on the way to Antisuyo (Amazonian part of the Inca Empire).
Later on, we will visit the colonial town, Pisac, located just below the architectural site. It was
established as a result of the well-known “Indians Reductions” by which scattered indigenous
people were forced to move in to small towns established by Spaniards. Presently Pisac, we
will visit its famous traditional handicraft market.
Afterwards, we will be taken by our bus to Urubamba, the capital of the valley, to enjoy
lunch there. Later, we will go to the town of Ollantaytambo to visit other famous ruins.
Ollantaytambo was an administrative, social, religious and agricultural centre during the Inca
times. The ruins and the town is a must-see amongst the many other interesting sites of the
Sacred Valley of the Incas.
Finally, we will visit the town of Chinchero with its Incan site as well as beautiful colonial
church and streets.
