Spiritual Meditation in the Sacred Valley of the Incas & Machu Picchu 2 days

Day 1: Cusco – Patacancha – Aguas Calientes

1. Patacancha Valley
   6h · Admission ticket included
   Very early, we leave for the village of Patacancha where we will meet with the Homestay family to guide us to the pastures where lamas, alpacas and sheep are grazing. There, we will participate in a lama ceremony and learn how the Andean people thank nature. After the ceremony we will return to the village of Patacancha where we will also share the typical Andean Pachamanca dish. The Homestay family will explain to us what are the principal ingredients and the whole cooking process. It will not just be a demonstration, but we will all be assistants in the process. While waiting for 40 minutes for the meal to get ready, the Homestay family will give us a small demonstration of their textile arts, which is parto f their daily life as they are themselves producing their own typical, colorful costumes in the whole region. Then, we can taste our Pachamanca meal and say goodbye to the family to continue by private transport to the beautiful archeological site of Pumamarka.
2. Ollantaytambo
   3h
   After that, we will descend by car to the village of Ollantaytambo, visiting the archeological site with beautiful terraces, water sources, Palaces and its Holy Huaca that today is known as the Sun Temple. In the time of the Inca this was a very important village. Tonight we will board the tourist train to the village of Aguas Calientes where we will spend the night in a hotel.

Day 2: Aguas Calientes- Machu Picchu- Ollantaytambo- Cusco

1. Machu Picchu
   10h
   We leave our hotel to take the bus to the City of the Incas, which is considered a jewel of Inca architecture with agricultural terraces, neighbourhoods, squares, streets, an astronomic observatory etc. Constructed upon the slopes of the mountain, in the middle of nature, it is considered one of the miracles of today’s world. UNESCO has recognized it as a part of the common Natural and Cultural Heritage of Mankind, as it was an important religious, political and administrative center in the epoch of the Inca. The altitude is about 2450 m. After exploring this Magical City, you may like to explore the mountain of Huayna picchu. From the top of this mountain you can enjoy an impressing overview of the entire City of Machu picchu. It is advised to make reservations months in advance if you like to include Huayna picchu. We will return to Aguas Calientes to take the train back to Ollantaytambo or Poroy, where our staff is waiting to take us back to our hotel in Cusco or Sacred Valley.
