Description
The Sacred Valley Tour is one of the most popular tours in the region. It was a crucial area for the Inca empire and it functioned as both an agricultural, spiritual and political center for them.
Start early and head to the high mountain village of Chincheros, famous for its weaving and spectacularly sited at a high altitude (3,800 meters/ 12,500 feet). Visit a weaving house and have a demonstration of dying and weaving techniques as well as visiting the famous Chincheros Market. From Chincheros, descend to the base of the Sacred Valley and then onto Ollantaytambo, which features an impressive set of terraces leading from the village center.
Have a buffet lunch in Urubamba before heading to Pisaq - your final stop for the day. In Pisaq, first visit the attractive ruins built with breathtaking audacity by the Incas and then descend to the market at Pisaq before returning to Cusco via the ruins at Sacsayhuaman. (If you are short of time, this visit might be only very short). This is a long but rewarding day for those who want to experience the best of the Sacred Valley in a short amount of time.
