    The first major stop of the day will be in Pisac, where you will visit its important archaeological site, located at approximately 3,300 meters above sea level. The location combines Inca architecture, agricultural terraces, and panoramic views of the Sacred Valley.

    The altitude of Pisac is similar to that of Cusco, and the visit is done in a relaxed way, with time to walk and appreciate the place at your own pace.
  3. Pisac
    30m
    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. During the visit, you will be able to learn more about the methods used by the artisans and the influence of Inca tradition present in the designs and details of the pieces.
  4. Urubamba
    1h
    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.

    Urubamba is located at approximately 2,870 meters above sea level, an altitude lower than Cusco and Pisac, providing a pleasant moment to rest and enjoy the meal before continuing through the Sacred Valley.
  5. Archaeological Park Ollantaytambo
    45m
    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.
  6. 15m
    We will finalize the experience in Ollantaytambo Square, where you can continue your journey if you have booked a train to Aguas Calientes, the gateway to Machu Picchu.
