A full-day travel to Urubamba, the Inca Sacred Valley. Visit the village of Pisac, founded during the Colonial era. The Indians trade their goods on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and craftsmen from all over the region sell their woven alpaca wool blankets and ponchos, engraved gourds, antique reproductions, and jewelry.

Early in the morning, you will be transported by bus to the sanctuary of Machu Picchu after a delicious breakfast.

With an English speaking guide, you will have a special tour of the ruins. Your guide will teach you the history of the Incas, the hypotheses of this incredible culture’s origins. No matter how many photographs you’ve seen of Machupicchu, it’s not going to fail to amaze you to see in person.

This is one of the few areas that the Spanish did not pillage and conquer. Since they have been unable to locate it. High up on the lofty mountain in the lush cloud forest, the perfect craftsmanship of the stonework, the winding cobblestone streets and magnificent temples, all surrounded by a dramatic terraced mountain landscape with lush green cover, will take you back to the time of the Incas.

After you have completed this awesome location, you will be taken back down to Aguas Calientes to take the train back to Ollantaytambo, then you will be transported to your cozy hotel in Cusco in your car.
