Itinerary Transfer from the hotel in Cusco to the village of Pisac, located at the entrance to the Sacred Valley (32 km from Cusco) with its traditional Inca Market. This famous market attracts thousands of visitors and people from remote communities, dressed in colourful, traditional attire. In the marketplace you can find a wide variety of colourful products. The Archaeological Site of Pisac is one of the most beautiful monumental centers in the valley, since it combines the landscape with the perfect finish of its buildings.

It is located on the highest hill of the city, in a dry and rocky area. Together with Cusco and Piquillacta, Pisac closes a 33-km equilateral triangle, precisely planned to protect the city from possible attacks of enemies. Just like it happened with other Inca constructions, some researches state that it was not a fortress, but a sort of "royal hacienda", property of Inca Pachacutec. This hacienda was formed by terraces, household and ceremonial structures and aqueducts that provided the water for the agricultural development.

Continuing by Ollantaytambo, where you could walk by its Inca streets and observe the houses, which were built over Inca Ruins. Ollantaytambo Sanctuary is one of the largest archaeological complexes in Peru: it has religious, astronomical, administrative, urban, agricultural Complexes. It is possible to observe different buildings: Sun Temple, Mañaracay or Real Hall and Incahuatana. Transfer from Ollantaytambo to Cusco.

This tour considers children up to 9 years old.

Additional Information The entrance required for the Sacred Valley Tour, and included in the price, will allow you to enter, on your free time in Cusco, to the following touristic places as well: Chinchero Archaeological Site, and Moray engineering wonder.
