Get a close look at the artisanal work developed in the region and discover how traditional goldsmithing techniques continue to be used in the creation of gold and silver pieces.

After a morning dedicated to Andean history and culture, it will be time to take a break and enjoy Peruvian gastronomy. At Restaurant Don Angel, you can experience different dishes that represent the three great regions of Peru Coast, Highlands, and Jungle in a buffet lunch.

Ollantaytambo is one of the most impressive examples of Inca urban planning. Your stone streets, water canals, and preserved buildings allow one to closely observe the organization and engineering developed by the Incas.

During the visit, you will see the Ollantaytambo archaeological site and have time to explore its constructions and appreciate the surrounding landscape. The city is located at approximately 2,790 meters above sea level, an altitude lower than Cusco, making this section of the tour more comfortable for many travelers.
