Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Efter at have transporteret os i ca. 1 time, ankommer vi til byen Chinchero. Chinchero er en lille indfødt Andeslandsby beliggende højt i Antas vindomsuste sletter på 3765 m, omkring 30 km fra Cusco. Der er en smuk udsigt over Inkaernes Hellige Dal, med Vilcabamba-bjergkæden og den sneklædte top af Salkantay, der dominerer den vestlige horisont. Chinchero menes at være regnbuens mytiske fødested. Dens hovedattraktion for turisme er dets farverige søndagsmarked, som er meget mindre turistorienteret end Pisac-markedet. Byen består hovedsageligt af murstenshuse (adobe), og de lokale går stadig i traditionel påklædning. Byen kan have været en vigtig by i inkatiden. Det mest slående levn fra denne periode er den enorme stenmur på hovedtorvet, der har ti trapezformede nicher.
Efter en halv times transport ankommer vi til vores næste destination, Moray; Overalt hvor man kigger hen i Cusco, kan man se, hvor avancerede inkaerne var i deres landbrugsteknikker, såsom terrassesystemet og kunstvanding gennem akvædukter. I Moray brugte de for eksempel cirkulære terrasser, der demonstrerer det høje kulturniveau, som inkacivilisationen nåede. Moray er 7,5 miles fra byen Maras og 69 miles fra Cusco. Det vigtigste træk, der imponerer rejsende, er dets system af cirkulære landbrugsterrasser, som er op til 330 fod dybe. De er bygget ved hjælp af støttemure forbundet med et kunstvandingssystem. Moray kan betragtes som et dyrkningslaboratorium: de brugte terrasserne til at skabe mikroklimaer og dyrke forskellige produkter.
Efter en halv times transport ankommer vi nu til saltminerne, eller de berømte "saltbassiner" i Maras, der ligger i landdistriktet Pichingoto. Dette websted kan varmt anbefales til fotografelskere på grund af dets imponerende landskab, der strækker sig i al sin pragt. Det er også perfekt for vandrere og mountainbikere, da denne sti forbinder saltminerne med byerne Tarabamba og Pichingoto. Højdepunkter i dette område omfatter det arkæologiske område Moray, en slags amfiteater, der består af flere cirkulære terrasser. Også værd at besøge er Tiobamaba Sanctuary, en kolonikirke bygget i adobe, der huser malerier fra Cusco såsom Den sidste nadver.
Efter 1 times transport ankommer vi til byen Ollantaytambo, en charmerende by, der bevarer designet af Inca-bygningerne beliggende i en højde af 9160 fod i provinsen Urubamba. Blandt de mest imponerende attraktioner på dette sted er det ceremonielle tempel i tilbedelse af vand og en fæstning, der bevogtede indgangen til dalen for at afvise enhver invasion. Templet har et sæt terrasser oven på hinanden, som besøgende klatrer op ad en stejl trappe. Fæstningen er en stenkolos, der blev bygget mellem to bjerge for at beskytte dalen. Området er også hjemsted for Inti-templet (solguden), Incamisana, Ñustas (prinsessernes) bade, Cachiccata-begravelsestårnene og en gruppe meget stejle terrasser med trappetrin på en bjergskråning.
Efter ca. 45 min. transport De fascinerende stenblokke i Pisac viser en afbalanceret proportion, fra deres størrelse til de perfekte samlinger af hver sten, og danner et vidunderligt arkitektonisk kompleks, der fascinerer besøgende i den hellige dal. Ordet Pisac har en quechua-oprindelse, der betyder agerhøne, en kyllingelignende fugl, der lever i området. Ifølge teorier lignede dette kompleks lidt "Real Estate" af Inca Pachacutec, det er derfor, det har en række faciliteter såsom terrasser, et ceremonielt rum, paladser, mure og tårne, alle forbundet med hinanden, uden enhver form for sammenlægning. Intihuatana Kendt som det vigtigste ceremonielle og religiøse sted i Pisac, det har bygninger lavet af sedimentære klipper.

Outstanding level of service, very professional guide, unbeatable buffet lunch in a magnificent location. Everything excellent!
A very long day but you get to see so many different places. They add in the obligatory stopping stops but it was fine. The only thing that seemed unorganized was we showed up at the square at exactly the time we were told and everyone was already on the bus they almost left us. Then they didn’t separate the groups into languages so our guide had to keep switching back and forth between English and Spanish.
A long day but many sites are fit in! The stops are fairly quick but they are all beautiful and our guide took great photos for us. Our only issue was with the pickup - our tickets stated we would be picked up at our hotel at 6:30am. After messaging the company around 6:45 (after waiting since 6:30) we were informed that we were supposed to be at the central Plaza at 6:15am. Our guide kindly organized a car to take us to meet the group in Chinchero, but it made for a slightly stressful and frustrating morning. If your hotel is on the narrow streets of San Blas, be sure to clarify your pickup spot. Not sure what got mixed up with ours as our tickets definitely said hotel pick up at 6:30. Overall this was a great value for the money and I would recommend it.
The tour in general was very good, the food was spectacular, and the guide was very kind. The only thing is that the van was a bit uncomfortable, especially for the trips, because of the legroom. We also felt that there was little time to explore some archaeological sites.
This tour was pretty amazing. First we got a lot for your money. However, you have to pay for your tickets in soles plus 20 to see the salt mines. And the lunch is included in this one.Benedito, I hope I am writing his name correctly, was so knowledgeable and kind. He answered many questions and cleared my mind of misconceptions. This is a tour that you should not ever miss .
The sacred valley tour we took today was exceptionally good and even a better value. We had a great, diverse group of tourists along for the ride visiting many interesting archelogical sites and related outlets for local wares. Our guide Lenin and driver were great keeping us on pace and filling us in with the history and layout of each site. The lunch buffet was impressive with a variety of fresh Andean foods. It was a lot of driving and time in the van but you pack a lot in a single day. The sacred valley and mountains are breathtaking and seeing the local communities and their lifestyle and skills very interesting. Highly recommended.
This company has serious communication issues. 1. I booked the tour with pickup at my hotel, but the night before they sent a WhatsApp message saying the meeting point was at the Plaza. I had to chase them with messages to correct this mistake. 2. I asked if I could end the tour in Ollantaytambo. They failed to mention that this would mean skipping Pisac. 3. I realized that myself and asked if they could adjust the itinerary so the last stop would be Ollantaytambo. They said yes, but it turned out they misunderstood my request — the itinerary could not be changed. 4. As a workaround, I asked if I could rejoin the tour from Ollantaytambo two days later to visit Pisac and return to Cusco. They agreed and told me to meet the group at the archaeological site at 2:30 pm. However, they ignored my request for the van’s license plate or the guide’s name and number. The parking lot was full of identical vans — how did they expect me to find the right one without that information? At that point, I gave up and decided to cut my losses. To make matters worse, at the Ollantaytambo site other guides were actively explaining things to their groups, while ours was nowhere to be found. Skip this company.
The Sacred Valley your is incredible value for money. Consider that the listed price for the buffet lunch at a very nice restaurant is 115 Soles, and that is included in the your price. The guide (Benito) was excellent and always made sure to check on the well being of everyone in the group. He explained the history and the culture of the Incas, and was very willing to answer questions. He took us to the best photo spots and he volunteered time and again to take photos. The tour price does not include the price of admission to several places (tip: buy the complete Cusco tourist ticket from the tourism office near the Plaza de Armas for 130 Soles per foreigner adult. This ticket will be good for 10 consecutive days and will be useful to visit several monuments in Cusco.) Other than that the only admission ticket we had to buy was for the salt farm (20 soles per adult foreigner). We paid Benito and he got the admission tickets without any delay for us. The van was very comfortable and was always parked where it could pick us up with the least amount of walking on our part. Benito told us about the best places to find toilets (baños). Highly recommend this tour arranged by Machu Pichu Adventour (ticketing through Viator). The only small hiccup was confusion about where we were to be picked up. Our hotel (a major one on a main avenue) was not listed and we were told by the AI agent for the tour company to go to the Plaza de Armas, but then received a Whatsapp message to wait at the hotel. A message to confirm which we had to follow went unanswered.
Bendito is an amazing guide and filled with so much knowledge. It was an incredible experience to learn so much about the history of the sacred valley and all the different places he took us to. 10/10 experience, I would highly recommend for anyone that has a day to experience the Sacred Valley.
We had the excursion with the guide Lenny and the driver Quique. Both were very good and super punctual. Lenny's explanations were super easy to understand and he was always willing to answer questions. Quique was super punctual with the transportation for the experience. Without a doubt I would recommend them.
