CUSCO, URUBAMBA & MACHU PICCHU TOUR
6 days departing from Lima
“Peru begs for your attention with amazing topography, ancient ruins, vast lands with both modern and traditional customs blended together, Peru is the perfect place to visit.“
In Cusco, you will be in the oldest continuously inhabited city in all of South America with ancient foundations. Retrace the steps of the Inca visiting Ollantaytambo and the fascinating ruins that have lasted through the sands of time, all the way to Machu Picchu, the Incan fortress tucked away in the forested mountains where the Andes meet tropical rainforest. Further south leaving the Sacred Valley, Peru will take your experiences to new heights and depths as you reach Puno, located on Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. Here, just like the rest of Peru, is another vibrant but separate culture that finds new ways to charm you each day. The blends of traditions, customs, cuisines, and landscapes will create a memorable adventure!

Entering the Sacred Valley, you’ll stop at the Maras salt depository. Since Incan times, Maras has been a salt producer. You can still see the salt pans filled by underwater springs, supplying Cusco and other areas. Nearby, circular terraces resemble a deep-bowl in the earth, believed to be used by the Inca for experimental agricultural purposes. Each terrace creates a different micro-climate, allowing for different crops to be grown.
Afterwards, you’ll continue to Ollantaytambo to visit a fortress built during the Inca Empire, even used in one of the successful battles against the Spanish. It is an excellent example of Incan engineering. You can also visit the village of Pisac to experience their local agriculture markets, as well as artisanal works of crafts and arts. Locals gather from the Urubamba Valley to trade and sell their works. Afterwards, you’ll be taken to your hotel in Ollantaytambo.
