Itinerary

Pickup from your hotel in Cusco to begin the experience through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, passing through Andean landscapes and picturesque villages.

Chinchero Archaeological Complex
First stop, located 28 km from Cusco at 3,772 meters above sea level (12,375 ft). We visit its 17th-century colonial church featuring paintings from the Cusco School, the traditional market, and the archaeological areas, while also learning about its ancestral textile traditions.

We explore its unique circular terraces, used by the Incas for agricultural experimentation across different microclimates. Approximately one hour tour to discover its historical and spiritual significance.

We visit the famous salt mines located in the upper part of the valley, made up of hundreds of pools where salt is produced in an artisanal way through the natural evaporation of saltwater.

Stop to enjoy a buffet lunch featuring typical regional dishes, in a setting surrounded by farmlands and views of the snow-capped mountains.

We tour its Inca fortress, the Temple of the Sun, the Baths of the Ñustas, and its impressive terraces. An important military and ceremonial center that protected the valley.

Final stop of the day at one of the most advanced agricultural systems of the Incas. We visit its stone constructions, watchtowers, astronomical observatory, and the ancient cemetery, considered the largest in the Americas.
