Detailed Itinerary
Sacred Valley of the Incas - A Journey Through Living Andean Culture
- Your journey begins in the upper part of the Sacred Valley, surrounded by dramatic mountain landscapes and the remains of one of the most important settlements of the Inca Empire.
- At Pisac, you will explore an impressive archaeological complex built into the mountainside. Its terraces, temples, and ancient urban structures reveal the remarkable relationship the Incas developed with the landscape. You will also have the opportunity to explore the local artisan market, where traditional Andean textiles, crafts, and colors bring the region’s culture to life.
- The route continues through the fertile Urubamba Valley, following the Vilcanota River as the mountains rise around you. This area was highly valued by the Incas for its agricultural richness, and its landscapes still reflect the importance of farming in the region.
- Next, you will reach Ollantaytambo, one of the most remarkable living examples of Inca urban planning. Its original streets, terraces, ceremonial spaces, and massive stone structures create an extraordinary connection between the ancient city and the present-day community.
- The final stop is Chinchero, a traditional Andean town known for its archaeological remains and textile heritage. Here, the past is not simply preserved—it continues through local traditions, weaving techniques, and community life.
- As the journey comes to an end, you will leave the Sacred Valley having experienced more than ancient ruins: you will have discovered a landscape where Inca heritage and contemporary Andean culture continue to exist side by side.
