Sacred Valley of the Incas (10 hours)

Kicking off this tour in Pisac, we will delve into the incredible remnants of the Inca civilization within the Sacred Valley. After discovering the ruins and the quaint town of Pisac, we journey onward to Ollantaytambo, known for its fine illustration of Incan urban design.

To recharge, we’ll savour a hearty buffet lunch in Urubamba. Once satisfied, we make our way to the heights of the town to visit Incan ruins that dominate the landscape. Anticipate an astonishing experience as we reveal the mysteries of these ancient structures.

You’ll have time to enjoy lunch at a local establishment before concluding this journey with a visit to the highest Inca ruins in Urubamba.
