Explore the fascinating Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu of the Inca Empire on our 2-day tour. On the first day, discover the Sacred Valley with visits to the impressive archaeological sites of Pisaq and Ollantaytambo, and enjoy an authentic Peruvian lunch in Urubamba. After a comfortable train ride to Aguas Calientes, settle into a charming hotel.
On the second day, be enchanted by Machu Picchu on a 2.5-hour guided tour. Return to Cusco with unforgettable memories and a complete experience of one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. A tour not to be missed!
On this day you will visit the wonderful Sacred Valley of the Incas. Also known as the Vilcanota Valley.
We’ll start the day by visiting the archaeological complex of Pisaq, located on top of a mountain. This wonderful site is made up of groups of terraces and architectural structures scattered across its slopes and on the top of the mountain. A wonderful blend of landscape and buildings. Next, we’ll go to the handicraft market where you can see a wide variety of work from ancient times.
We’ll pass through Urubamba where we’ll take a break for lunch. We will taste typical Peruvian cuisine with a variety of dishes including salads, soups, hot dishes, the famous ceviche and delicious desserts.
After lunch we will visit the architectural complex of Ollatantaytambo, a living settlement built to guard the entrance to this part of the valley and protect it from possible invaders. We will have the opportunity to walk through its streets and get a clearer idea of what this military, religious and cultural center was like during the Inca Empire.
After the visit, we’ll board the train to Aguas Calientes. Upon arrival, the hotel representative will be waiting to take you to your hotel.
