Itinerario
Su atractivo y pintoresco pueblo ofrece una artesanía elaborada en sus ferias de jueves y domingos con una larga y colorida tradición. Pisaq es uno de los lugares más visitados del Valle Sagrado de los Incas, por sus sorprendentes monumentos arqueológicos solo comparables con Machu Picchu. Tiene un enorme sistema de andenería inca que asciende hasta los abismos, que se asemejan a enormes jardines colgantes. A pesar del paso de los siglos, todavía se puede utilizar para la agricultura. El lugar arqueológico, ubicado en la parte alta, está conformado por barrios. El Intiwatana, el cementerio precolombino más grande del continente, también sus plataformas de cultivo (andenes) y las torretas de vigilancia del mástil. Pisaq atiende a colonos de pueblos cercanos y miles de visitantes. Uno de los atractivos de estas ferias es el desfile de las autoridades o varayocs que van al pueblo a escuchar la misa en quechua, idioma principal de la región. En la parte alta se encuentran las ruinas incas de Písaq con un gran sistema de andenerías y con un importante reloj solar en piedra o Intihuatana. Hoy Pisaq es uno de los parques arqueológicos más importantes de la región y constituye uno de los mejores destinos turísticos; su nombre posiblemente deriva de un tipo de perdiz muy común de esta área conocida como "p'isaqa". Algunos especialistas sugieren que la ciudad prehispánica tenía la forma de un "p'isaqa" que representaba la fauna local.
La encantadora ciudad de Urubamba está envuelta por altos picos andinos en el corazón del Valle Sagrado. A diferencia de Ollantaytambo y Pisac, cuyas ruinas incas son la atracción principal, el atractivo de Urubamba es la belleza natural que lo rodea y su ambiente relajado. La gran cantidad de hermosos hoteles son el lugar perfecto para desconectarse y disfrutar de lujosos tratamientos de spa. ¡Los deportes y tours llenos de aventuras están a solo un corto viaje en auto! Pararemos aquí para almorzar.
Ollantaytambo es un pueblo encantador que conserva los diseños de los edificios incas ubicados a una altitud de 9160 pies en la provincia de Urubamba. Entre las atracciones más impresionantes de este lugar se encuentran el templo ceremonial en adoración al agua y una fortaleza que custodiaba la entrada al valle para repeler cualquier invasión. El templo tiene un conjunto de terrazas una encima de la otra que los visitantes escalan a través de una empinada escalera. La fortaleza es un coloso de piedra que se construyó entre dos montañas para proteger el valle. El área también alberga el Templo del Inti (dios del sol), Incamisana, los baños de las Ñustas (princesas), las torres funerarias Cachiccata y un grupo de terrazas escalonadas y muy empinadas en la ladera de una colina. Ollantaytambo también contiene la montaña llamada Pinculluna o Tunupa, que alberga los vestigios de las estructuras arquitectónicas incas que parecen haber sido un almacén para varios alimentos. Ollantaytambo es también un lugar de encuentro para comunidades cercanas, como los Huayruros de Willoc, a quienes se les puede reconocer por sus ponchos y sombreros rojos y negros.
Chinchero es un pequeño pueblo indígena andino ubicado en lo alto de las llanuras azotadas por el viento de Anta a 3765 m, a unos 30 km de Cusco. Hay hermosas vistas del Valle Sagrado de los Incas, con la Cordillera Vilcabamba y el pico nevado de Salkantay dominando el horizonte occidental. Se cree que Chinchero es el lugar de nacimiento mítico del arco iris. Su principal reclamo para el turismo es su colorido mercado dominical, que está mucho menos orientado al turismo que el mercado de Pisac. El pueblo se compone principalmente de casas de adobe y los lugareños aún se dedican a sus negocios con la vestimenta tradicional. El pueblo puede haber sido una ciudad importante en la época inca. El remanente más llamativo de este período es el enorme muro de piedra en la plaza principal que tiene diez nichos trapezoidales. La construcción del muro y muchas otras ruinas y terrazas agrícolas (que todavía están en uso) se atribuyen al Inca Tupac Yupanqui, quien posiblemente utilizó a Chinchero como una especie de centro turístico. En la plaza principal, una iglesia colonial de adobe, que data de principios del siglo XVII, se ha construido sobre los cimientos de un templo o palacio inca. El techo y las paredes están cubiertos de hermosos diseños florales y religiosos. La iglesia está abierta los domingos para misa. Media hora a pie desde el pueblo te lleva al lago Piuri, que una vez alimentó a Cusco con agua. Se tarda alrededor de 3 horas en caminar alrededor del lago pasando por pequeños pueblos pintorescos.

Must-visit sites to understand Inca civilization. Guide Regi was knowledgeable and cultured. Four restaurants at different locations reserved for 15 people. Decent cuisine. However, there was complete disorganization of the itinerary by the agency in managing the pickup and drop-off times for the client, which were specified in the reservation contract signed three months earlier. The pickup at the hotel, which was supposed to start at 8 AM, was changed the day before, with times moved to 7 AM and then 7:20 AM, knowing that at 7:40 AM the agency was asking us where we were while we were waiting in the hotel lobby for their taxi! which took us elsewhere in Cusco to pick up other clients. We finally started after 8:30 AM and arrived in Pisac inevitably late, only having 30 minutes to climb and freely visit this perched site. 45 minutes to even an hour would have been more realistic! We were then split into four different restaurants, which generated a lot of traffic and wasted time on a program already packed with various visits. What a surprise it was to receive an untimely message from the agency during the meal, demanding that we respect the schedule (sic!), be punctual (!), and not disrupt the normal flow of the excursion at the risk of causing some to miss a train scheduled for Machu Picchu. We, of course, responded that the agency should not shift its own responsibilities, particularly regarding improvisation in the organization, onto the client. At 5:30 PM, as night was about to fall, we were going to visit an archaeological site in Chinchero; the ticket was no longer useful since there were no tourists left. Finally, after 6 PM, still in Chinchero, we were dropped off at a weaving workshop to have the techniques explained and possibly buy souvenirs. We resumed our journey, and at nearly 8 PM, while the drop-off was scheduled at the hotel, we were dropped off more than a kilometer away from the hotel, left to figure out how to get back. The guide immediately found a taxi for us as well as for herself. Traveling regularly, we had never encountered such a situation, such incompetence from a tour operator in managing an excursion, let alone the audacity to demand in a peremptory manner that the client respect the group's constraints. In conclusion, we are taking a 3-week road trip through Peru, and more than halfway through the journey, we can affirm that there are many professional agencies experienced in such tours that have moved beyond improvisation and bad faith to justify themselves.
Nous vous remercions pour votre commentaire et pour avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience. Cependant, nous souhaitons apporter quelques précisions, car certains points mentionnés ne correspondent pas aux faits. Concernant la prise en charge, l’horaire de ramassage entre 7h10 et 7h20 avait été préalablement convenu avec vous et accepté de votre part. Notre personnel était présent à l’heure indiquée devant votre hôtel et vous a attendu. Comme vous ne vous présentiez pas et ne répondiez pas à nos appels, le bus a dû poursuivre son itinéraire afin de ne pas retarder les autres participants du groupe. Les employés de votre hôtel peuvent également confirmer cette situation. Afin d’éviter que vous ne manquiez l’excursion, nous avons organisé et pris en charge à nos frais un taxi pour vous permettre de rejoindre le groupe. De la même manière, à la fin de la journée, nous avons également payé un taxi pour vous permettre de rentrer plus facilement. Nous souhaitons également préciser que le point de fin de l’excursion indiqué dans le programme est la Plaza Regocijo, comme mentionné dans la réservation, et non votre hôtel comme vous l’affirmez dans votre commentaire. Pendant le circuit, le guide a également dû attendre à plusieurs reprises votre retour afin que le groupe puisse poursuivre l’itinéraire prévu. Malgré cela, l’excursion s’est déroulée normalement et les autres participants se sont montrés satisfaits du service reçu. Nous comprenons que votre expérience n’ait pas répondu à toutes vos attentes. Toutefois, il est important de rappeler que la prestation réservée était une excursion partagée et non une excursion privée. Dans un circuit partagé, les horaires et le temps consacré à chaque visite doivent être respectés afin de garantir une expérience équitable pour l’ensemble des voyageurs. Si vous souhaitiez davantage de flexibilité concernant les horaires, les arrêts ou le temps passé sur chaque site, nous vous recommandons de réserver une excursion privée, spécialement conçue pour ce type de demande. Notre objectif est toujours d’offrir le meilleur service possible à nos voyageurs. C’est pourquoi nous communiquons les horaires à l’avance, expliquons le déroulement des circuits et faisons de notre mieux pour éviter tout désagrément. Nous regrettons que vous ayez gardé cette impression, mais nous estimons important que les faits soient présentés de manière complète et objective.
Highly recommend. They thought of everything and answer fast
We spent a beautiful day exploring some less traveled places in the Sacred Valley. We organized everything the night before, the agency was super helpful and flexible to meet our needs. We visited the Perolniyoc waterfall and Naupa Iglesias, our guide was very knowledgeable and passed on the passion for Inca culture. Highly recommended!
Grazie di cuore per il tuo bellissimo commento! Ci fa davvero piacere sapere che abbiate vissuto una giornata speciale esplorando gli angoli meno conosciuti della Valle Sacra. Siamo felici di essere riusciti a organizzare tutto in poco tempo e di aver soddisfatto le vostre esigenze. La cascata di Perolniyoc e Naupa Iglesia sono luoghi magici, e sapere che la nostra guida vi ha trasmesso la passione per la cultura inca è per noi la soddisfazione più grande. Grazie per averci scelto e per consigliare la nostra esperienza. Speriamo di rivedervi presto per una nuova avventura in Perù! 🇵🇪✨ Un caro saluto!!!
My two friends and I took the Sacred Valley tour from Ollantaytambo to Cusco, and it was incredible! Our guide, Jose, was outstanding punctual and knowledgeable. He met us at our hotel right on time, and we jumped straight into the adventure. Jose was with us every step of the way, sharing so much fascinating information that we wanted to keep learning even after the tour ended. I especially loved how everything was customized to fit exactly what we wanted to see and do. Highly recommend this tour 10/10!
It is a great reward to know that our team was able to create such a special experience for you and your friends. Jose is passionate about history and we love that he was able to pass that passion on to you. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope you come back soon.
We just finished a 4-day Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu Tour with Encuentros Peru Adventure, and it was perfect. Our guide, Stevin, was with us the whole time and gave us a clear idea of what to expect. The people of Peru are incredibly friendly, the scenery is breathtaking, and we learned so much about the culture. Stevin truly made this trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
We are so glad you had an unforgettable experience in the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Stevin is a great member of our team and we are delighted that he was able to share his knowledge and enthusiasm with you. Peru has so much more to offer, so we invite you to come back soon.
They picked us up at Ollantaytambo Station at the time of the train arrival from Machu Picchu according to our itinerary. We communicated in simple English during the tour. They carefully explained the history and background of the ruins, and answered our questions accurately. They also flexibly responded to our needs with the tour schedule, and stopped at places where we could buy the same items cheaper than in Cusco or Machu Picchu. I recommend it.

Just got back from the Sacred Valley of the Incas and Maras Moray tour with Encuentros Peru Adventure, guided by Jose Luis. The trip was flawless and the company was very professional. Jose knew a lot about the local traditions and customs and was fluent in English as well. He was more of a friend than a guide which we really appreciated. The whole experience was incredible and the highlight of the trrip was the lunch stop at a local restaurant in Urubamba town. We savoured some traditional Andean farm fresh food. A dream come true.
