After the breakfast at your hotel, we will be picking you up at 0830 yo visit the Sacred Valley of Incas. We will begin with a drive to Pisac. This is one of the most charismatic villages in the Sacred Valley. 

Pisac:

Pisac is popular for its weekend market. Farmers and craftsmen from neighbouring villages set up tents around the main square to sell their products. The village is also home to Inca ruins that nestles on a hilltop, overlooking the valley. 

This Inca ruins is second to the city of Machu Picchu in size. Here we will be giving you a complete tour of the complex. You will be introduced to Incas farming techniques and their rituals that they practised here.

Urubamba:

We will then drive you to Urubamba. Here we will be serving you a typical Peruvian lunch (included in the price) before visiting the Ollantaytambo fortress.

Ollantaytambo:

Ollantaytambo is a beautiful village. It is the best example of Inca Empire’s town planning. The village is snuggled in between two hills. We will be visiting the fortress here.

It was built by Inca ruler Pachacutec who also built Machu Picchu and Choquequirao. 

However, Manco Inca expanded it. It served as his stronghold when the Spanish invaded Ollantaytambo. He and his troops managed to defeat Spanish intruders in the battle of Ollantaytambo.

After the detailed tour of the complex, we will be dropping you off at the hotel in Ollantaytambo.

After relishing an early morning breakfast, we will be transferring you to Ollantaytambo train station.  Here you will be boarding a Ollantaytambo Aguas Calientes tourist train. It will be a three hours train ride. 

Once in Aguas Calientes, we will transfer you to the bus terminal where you will board the bus from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu citadel. Once at the entrance of the citadel, our representative will be meeting you and will be assisting you in entering the citadel. 

As you will be walking into the citadel, the clouds would be clearing by as the golden rays of the sun would shimmer on the walls of the citadel.
