Sacred Valley Tour Full day

Ollantaytambo Monolithen - Sacred Valley Tour

OUR ITINERARY

08:30 am pick up from your hotel.
09:00 am beginning of your excursion.

The Pisac market


The Pisac market is a must-see for those visiting the Cusco region. Every day, the streets fill to overflowing with artisans selling their goods and tourists from all over the world buying them. Sunday is the best and busiest day to visit by far. Villagers from miles around pack up their llamas and donkeys in the early hours of the morning in order to arrive and set up stalls where they sell vegetables and other produce. 

Even if you're not a shopper, the market is worth a visit. It's a great place to take photos and people-watch. Many of the cafés around the market have second-story balconies providing good views of the commotion below. The quality of the goods can be a little sketchy, and, if you're looking to spend a lot of money on any one item, you're better off in a fine gallery or store in Cusco or Lima. But prices are low (though higher than in the Cusco markets) and it is a great place to buy memorable souvenirs for friends back home.

P'isaq Archaeological Park


The Archaelogical Park of Pisac is one of the most important archaeological region. Possibly its name comes from a very common type of Bird in this area known as "P'isaqa". Some scholars suggest that the pre-Columbian city was in the form of a "P'isaqa" representing the local faun. Today there are a colonial Town named P'isaq.

In the Inca City there is a famous Local Market, full of crafts and local products.

Pisac Archaeological Park

Archaeological Complex of Ollantaytambo


The archaeological complex of Ollantaytambo was a strategic military, religious and agricultural center. The architectural scene is exceptional in its the size, style and originality of its buildings. For the Quechua language, the name comes from the word

Ollanta (which is the name of an Inca captain, whose story was saved as an oral tradition, and written as a drama of Antonio Valdez Urubamba priest in mid-eighteenth century) Also a Spanish derivation of the word tampu (Tambo) Quechua, which means

"City that offers accommodation, food and comfort to passengers."

Agricultural activity in this area benefited from the presence of the Patacancha creek, where there are large terraces that currently are damaged and abandoned.

Chinchero

The typical Chinchero is a Inca city, the conquerors wanted to "civilize" and establish their culture, but never succeeded, because they fully resisted. Today you can see this resistance in its inhabitants, as they inhabit the Inca constructions almost intact, in the same place where their ancestors lived and formed the largest and most prosperous civilization in America.

the Rainbow City is located 28 km. northwest of the Cusco city, over 3,762 meters, at an intermediate location between the highlands and warm valley, surrounded by snow-capped Salkantay, Veronica and Soray. The view from here is awesome. Chinchero was chosen by the Inca Tupac Yupanqui to establish his residence

At 19:00pm aprox, we'll arrive in Cusco, transfer to your hotel or if you decide you can stop in the beautiful mean square of this City.

New Year in Cusco and Machu Picchu in 4 days

Special event for those who want to celebrate New Year in Cusco. Include: City tour + Sacred valley of the Incas + Machu Picchu + New year' eve party.

Celebrate New Year with an exquisite fancy dinner and fun until next morning.

 New Year in Cusco


New year in the capital of the Incas

Let's us show you all the chaos and excitement of the New Year's celebration in Cusco.

Cusco is one of the two most popular places to celebrate New Years in Peru

The city grows in anticipation before christmas leading up to the big night. Tourists from all over Peru, Latin-American, Europe and the world gather in Cusco and fill up the hostels and hotels. Street vendors line the streets, while natives come in from outside the city to sell their crafts and products as well as to experience the festivities.

One of the most interesting things about cruising around the open street markets is seeing all the superstitious tokens Peruvians purchase for the New Years celebration.

Yellow is the color people choose for luck, everything from yellow hats, confettis, flowers and underwears.

Fireworks are everywhere. Kids sold them on the streets, families lit them off as they walk and crazy people shot them at each other and lit them off themselves.

The most amazing thing about the fireworks is watching the sky fill up with multiple colors and explosions for hours from the main square out into the surrounding hills of Cusco.

At midnight, everyone starts running around Plaza de Armas for good luck. Some locals carry around suitcases as they run, which is good luck for traveling in the New Year.

It is the most incredible festivals.

Our program of New Year's Eve in Cusco, includes, Machupicchu tour and the best itinerary of Cusco.

Let´s enjoy it
