Fra den hellige dal Chinchero, Maras, Moray og Ollantaytambo
Beskrivelse
Hvad gør vores tur speciel er, at vi er baseret lige her i Urubamba, hjertet af den hellige dal. At være lokal giver os en unik fordel – vi kan tilbyde en mere personlig, effektiv og konkurrencedygtig service, der sikrer, at du får den mest autentiske oplevelse. På denne tur besøger du Chinchero, berømt for sine gamle terrasser og livlige tekstiler, Moray, Inka landbrugslaboratoriet med sine fantastiske cirkulære terrasser og Maras Salt Mines, hvor traditionel saltopsamling har været praktiseret i århundreder. Du vil også nyde en lækker andisk gourmet frokost, lavet med friske, lokale ingredienser og serveret med fantastisk udsigt over dalen. Til sidst vil vi guide dig gennem Ollantaytambo, hvor du kan forundre dig over Sun Temple og de massive stenterrasser. Takket være vores lokale viden og dyb forbindelse til Sacred Valley, er vi i stand til at tilbyde dig en unik oplevelse til den bedste værdi.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
På Textile Interpretation Center vil du fordybe dig i den fascinerende verden af traditionelt håndværk, lære om de gamle teknikker til spinning, vævning og farvning af naturlige fibre, såsom den luksuriøse alpaca uld. Kvalificerede lokale håndværkere vil demonstrere den indviklede tekstilproduktionsproces ved hjælp af naturlige plantebaserede farvestoffer, der er videregivet gennem generationer. Du vil have mulighed for at sætte pris på deres ekspertise tæt på og, hvis du ønsker det, købe unikke tekstilprodukter, der viser regionens rige kulturarv.
Vi vil udforske resterne af Tupac Inka Yupanqui hvilende palads, der nu fungerer som et kolonialt tempel, der tilbyder indsigt i sammenhængen med den koloniale inkvisition. På det arkæologiske site vil vi også se imponerende inka landbrugsterrasser, vandsystemer og strukturer, der viser den avancerede teknik i tiden, sammen med rester af kolonial arkitektur, der blev tilføjet under koloniseringen.
Under dit besøg i Maras Salt Mines, vil du udforske et fantastisk netværk af over 4.000 salt damme, der har været i brug siden pre-Inca tider. Du vil lære om den håndværksmæssige saltudvindingsproces og hvordan man identificerer de tre forskellige kvaliteter af salt produceret i området. Derudover vil du opdage de helbredende egenskaber ved det lyserøde salt og nyde panoramaudsigt over saltterrasserne, et unikt og fotogenisk landskab, du ikke vil gå glip af.
En imponerende inka landbrugsplads, hvor cirkulære terrasser blev brugt til at eksperimentere med mikroklima og forbedre afgrøder. Turguiden vil forklare, hvordan inkaerne dyrkede forskellige arter på disse terrasser og optimerede deres landbrugsproduktion ved at skabe kontrollerede betingelser, der favoriserede afgrødernes vækst.
Som en del af din eksklusive tur kan du nyde en dejlig Andesisk Gourmet Lunch, der indeholder et udvalg af traditionelle og moderne retter, der fremhæver de friskeste lokale ingredienser fra Sacred Valley. Vælg mellem en række forfriskninger og hovedretter, hver forberedt med omhu for at tilbyde dig en autentisk og smagfuld oplevelse af andisk mad. Kom ind i frisk avocado fyldt med quinoa eller en trøstende quinoa suppe som en starter, efterfulgt af et udvalg af mundvandende hovedretter, fra træbrændt ørred til den rige grillede kylling i svampe sauce, eller den smagfulde Lomo Saltado. For en lysere touch kan du nyde vores vegetariske pizza muligheder, alle parret med friske, lokale ingredienser. Slut dig til os for denne uforglemmelige kulinariske oplevelse, der tilbyder en smag af Andes som en del af din tur.
Sun Temple at Ollantaytambo er en imponerende Inca struktur, bygget med massive sten vejer op til 70 tons hver. Dette tempel, dedikeret til solguden Inti, er afstemt med astronomiske begivenheder, hvilket afspejler Inkas avancerede forståelse af stjernerne. Området har også store terrasser, der bruges til landbrug og forsvar. Ollantaytambo var et vigtigt militært, religiøst og administrativt center under Inka-imperiet og spillede en vigtig rolle i modstanden mod de spanske erobrere.

Excellent full-day tour of the Sacred Valley! The itinerary was well organized with the perfect mix of history, culture, and breathtaking scenery. Visiting Chinchero, the Maras Salt Mines, Moray, and Ollantaytambo gave us a great appreciation for the ingenuity of the Inca civilization, and the traditional textile demonstration was a real highlight. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and kept the day running smoothly. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Cusco.
It was a great experience, we learned a lot of valuable information.
If you want a tour of Sacred Valley, look no further! Our family and I had a private tour with Mihai at Highlanding Travel and could not have been more pleased. He was very knowledgeable, pleasant, and accommodating. We felt at ease and looked after during our tour. Our only regret was not using him sooner for our other tours in the region.
We had a wonderful private tour with Mihai through the Sacred Valley, visiting the salt mines, traditional weaving communities, and impressive Inca temples. The experience was personalized, informative, and perfectly paced. Mihai is incredibly knowledgeable, shares fascinating insights, and tailors the tour to your interests. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable way to explore the region.
Cool full day tour exploring the sacred valley. Our guide Mihail was planning the whole day for us so we could use every minute of our last day until we got directly to the airport on time. Interesting places and delicious lunch, but the best was Mihail's very deep knowledge about the Inka culture including latest research about all details we asked him.
Simply fantastic! This started off as one tour with Highlanding Travel and turned in to three days of adventure with them!!! Our family cannot say enough amazing things about Mihai and the team. This tour provides a cultural experience and the locations and history shared by Mihai are rich and meaningful. We were so impressed by Mihai and his driver Juan that we asked if they could take us to Lake Humantay the following day. Mihai was able to accommodate us! The hike was strenuous, but Mihai was able to ensure our entire family made it to the summit, including our youngest daughter who is not able to hike, but rode alongside us on horseback. Mihai was so understanding about the different needs of our family members and was patient, kind and thoughtful. Later in our trip we enlisted Mihai to assist us with transport to/from the train for Machu Picchu. He provided such personalized service. It was absolutely incredible. We were so sad to say goodbye after three days with his company and care. We 100% recommend Highlanding Travel- 10 out of 10!!!!! Thank you Mihai!!
We’re truly moved by this review - thank you! Three days of adventures with your family sounds like a dream. We’re so glad Mihai and Juan could adapt everything for you, from Lake Humantay with your daughter on horseback to the Machu Picchu train transfers. Making sure every member of the family feels cared for is what Mihai does best. We were sad to say goodbye too, and we can’t wait to welcome you all back to Cusco for round two!
We traveled with Mihai (guide) and Ruben (driver) and they were both incredible. We did the full day tour. Pick up was prompt and the van was new and sparkling. Not only was Mihai super knowledgeable, he added the human touch across the entire tour. One of my family members fell sick during the trip and they went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and even offered to take them back to the hotel while the rest of us continued the tour. The lunch included in the tour was excellent and we finished off the day with a quick stop at the Sacred Valley Cerveceria, which I would highly recommend. Overall, fantastic experience and I would recommend the company to all my friends and family
Mihai and Ruben will be thrilled to hear this. I’m sorry to hear your family member wasn’t feeling well, but I’m glad we could take care of them and still keep the day special for everyone. Really appreciate you recommending us — and yes, that Cervecería stop is a favorite! Hope to host you again in the Sacred Valley.
Our tour guide and driver were amazing. They tailored the way we wanted to explore the day and avoided all the large groups. Loved it!
Thank you, Julia! So glad we could make the day your own and skip the crowds. Hope we see you again in the Sacred Valley 💛
Great tour! The guide was Mihai and he was very good and knowledgeable
Thanks so much! 😊 We’ll pass your kind words to Mihai — he’ll love hearing that. Glad you had a great tour!
A great experience, our tour guide Mihai was knowledgeable and very attentive. We visited many different places and the buffet lunch was excellent. Slightly more expensive than other tours but I really enjoyed the day.
Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the day with Mihai and the buffet lunch hit the spot. We know we’re a bit pricier than others, so it means a lot that you felt it was worth it 💛 Hope to see you back in the Sacred Valley!
