Sacred Valley of the Incas Arts & Crafts Tour
We will commence our journey by picking you up from your accommodation in Cusco at the arranged time, initiating a handicraft exploration of the Sacred Valley of the Incas—a remarkable opportunity to experience this stunning area of the Peruvian Andes!
The first destination will be Pisac, a prominent archaeological site perched on a hillside. This location is among the most important and frequented archaeological sites in the Sacred Valley.
Following that, we will visit the renowned ceramic workshop of Vicente Rayo, a celebrated artisan from the Cusco area. Here, you will gain insight into the traditional methods of Cusco pottery and discover the techniques employed by the Incas. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to take home a piece of pottery as a souvenir!
After a delightful lunch, our tour will proceed to Ollantaytambo, where we will explore its archaeological ruins, which stand as a testament to the grandeur of the Inca Empire. We will also tour the main temple at the site, where you can delve into the fascinating subject of Incan astronomy—an enriching aspect of their vibrant culture.
Before concluding our adventure, we will visit Chinchero. While there, we will stroll through its main square, admire the ancient Inca walls, and take in the breathtaking views of terraced agricultural fields framed by the snow-capped peaks of the Andes.
After a full day of exploration lasting around 10 hours, we will return you to your hotel in Cusco.
