Son attrait et sa ville pittoresque offre un artisanat élaboré dans ses foires du jeudi et du dimanche avec une longue et colorée tradition. Pisaq est l’un des sites les plus visités de la Vallée sacrée des Incas, car il s’agit d’un surprenant monument archéologique que le Machu Picchu. Il a un système énorme d'andenería inca qui monte jusqu'aux abysses, qui ressemblent à d'énormes jardins suspendus. Malgré le pas des siècles, il peut encore être utilisé pour l'agriculture. La place archéologique, située dans la partie haute, est conformée par quartiers. L'Intiwatana, le plus grand cimetière pré-colombus du continent, ainsi que ses plateformes de culture (andenes) et ses tourelles de vigilance. Pisaq fréquente les colons des villes proches et des milliers de visiteurs. L'un des attraits de ces foires est le défilé des autorités ou des Varayocs qui se rendent en ville pour écouter la messe en quechua, langue principale de la région. En haut se trouvent les ruines incas de Písaq avec un grand système d'andenerías et une importante horloge solaire en pierre ou Intihuatana. Aujourd'hui, Pisaq est l'un des parcs archéologiques les plus importants de la région et constitue l'une des meilleures destinations touristiques. leur nom dérive probablement d'un type de perdrix très commun de cette région bien connue sous le nom de "p'isaqa". Certains spécialistes suggèrent que la ville préhispanique avait la forme d'une "p'isaqa" qui représentait la faune locale.
La charmante ville d'Urubamba est entourée de hauts sommets andins au cœur de la vallée sacrée. Contrairement à Ollantaytambo et à Pisac, dont les ruines incas sont le principal attrait, l’attrait d’Urubamba réside dans la beauté naturelle qui l’entoure et dans son ambiance décontractée. Les nombreux hôtels sont l’endroit idéal pour déconnecter et profiter d’un traitement luxueux au spa. Des sports et des excursions remplis d'aventures ne sont qu'à un court trajet! Nous nous arrêterons ici pour le déjeuner.
Ollantaytambo est un charmant village qui conserve les dessins des bâtiments incas situés à une altitude de 9160 pieds dans la province d'Urubamba. Parmi les attractions les plus impressionnantes de cet endroit, on compte le temple cérémonial en culte de l'eau et une forteresse qui gardait l'entrée de la vallée pour repousser toute invasion. Le temple a un ensemble de terrasses superposées que les visiteurs escaladent par un escalier raide. La forteresse est un colosse de pierre construit entre deux montagnes pour protéger la vallée. La région abrite également le temple d'Inti (le dieu soleil), Incamisana, les thermes des Ñustas (princesses), les tours funéraires de Cachiccata et un groupe de terrasses étagées et très raides sur le flanc d'une colline. Ollantaytambo contient également la montagne appelée Pinculluna ou Tunupa, qui renferme les vestiges des structures architecturales incas qui semblent avoir servi de lieu de stockage pour divers produits alimentaires. Ollantaytambo est également un lieu de rencontre pour les communautés voisines, telles que les Huayruros de Willoc, qui se reconnaissent à leurs ponchos et chapeaux rouges et noirs.
Chinchero est un petit village indien situé dans les hauteurs des plaines balayées par le vent d’Anta, à 3 655 mètres d'altitude, à environ 30 km de Cusco. Il y a de belles vues sur la vallée sacrée des Incas, avec la Cordillère Vilcabamba et le sommet enneigé de Salkantay dominant l'horizon ouest. On pense que Chinchero est le lieu de naissance mythique de l'arc-en-ciel. Son principal atout pour le tourisme est son marché coloré du dimanche qui est beaucoup moins touristique que le marché de Pisac. Le village comprend principalement des maisons en briques de terre crue (pisé) et les habitants continuent à s’occuper de leurs affaires en costume traditionnel. Le village a peut-être été une ville importante à l'époque des Incas. Le vestige le plus frappant de cette période est l’énorme mur de pierre de la place principale qui comporte dix niches trapézoïdales. La construction du mur et de nombreuses autres ruines et terrasses agricoles (encore en usage) est attribuée à Inca Tupac Yupanqui, qui a probablement utilisé Chinchero comme une sorte de station balnéaire. Sur la place principale, une église coloniale en adobe, datant du début du XVIIe siècle, a été construite sur les fondations d’un temple ou d’un palais inca. Le plafond et les murs sont recouverts de magnifiques motifs floraux et religieux. L'église est ouverte le dimanche pour la messe. Une demi-heure de marche du village vous amène au lac Piuri, qui alimentait jadis en eau Cusco. Il faut environ 3 heures pour faire le tour du lac en traversant de petits villages pittoresques.
Nous viendrons vous chercher à votre hôtel dans le centre historique de Cusco. Remarque: ce service n'inclut pas la prise en charge dans les résidences privées, par exemple; Airbnb ou des hôtels situés en dehors du centre historique.

Amazing experience, tour guide was excellent and answered any questions I had. I highly recommend doing some research prior to this trip as having some knowledge will make this an even greater tour.
Thank you for choosing Heidi Travel I who were able to visit the majestic tour to Machupicchu, I hope your recommended your friends, Best Regard
1st friendly contact while being professional of our guide Luis and the driver of the company who were at our disposal, throughout this day. Thanks to Luis’ knowledge we have enriched ourselves intellectually, discovered an Inca culture not described in the manuals! Day rich in emotions, sharing in a good mood.
She saved us. We hired her the first day and it was amazing. I planned my trip from the US. Through the website Viator, which I don't recommend it because the send you randomly to any tour company. I had the Sacred Valley with another tour company. We were like 15 people in the bus. I requested English Tour. When were in the middle of the tour we decided to jump off the tour and I called Heidi and told her what happened. She was very understanding, and wanted to solve a problem that was not even hers. She sent us from her company (I didn't hire her company for this tour) a tour guide, only English! It was amazing, my first day tour, 4 ruins and the Sacred Valley with Heidi tours were EXCELLENT. The guides new their job, not to mention their knowledge about what they were talking about. They could expand the conversation to your interest. Some guides they only explain the necessary and try to finish the tour soon, but Jose and Albert were amazing guides. We are the type of people that do all the research before going to a place. Well, they knew all the answers. I highly recommend her!!!!
Thank you for trusting Heidi Travel Agency, and it was a pleasure to have met you and make your trip an unforgettable experience.
It was an interesting tour with many legal discoveries about the Inca culture. But after a while it became a little repetitive.
We took the tour early February, mother-daughter trip. Pick up was right on time and at the hotel, very easy to communicate with the tour company. Walter was our tour guide, Elvis the driver - very safe driver. We had an amazing tour, the tour guide is very knowledgable and answered all our questions. Beautiful and very interesting stops (except the jewelry store in Pisac... tourist trap). When we had to climb or do physical effort, the guide gave us enough time and always waited for the group. Very comfy bus. We had a wonderful time, we totally recommend to visit and use this tour company!!
Hi, we love to hear about the experience with your mother. We hope you have taken beautiful memories of Cusco and may return soon.
Found this tour to be informative and fun. Learnt a lot about Incan ways of life and their invention. The guide was a ntive a person born and raised in the region and had plenty of knowledge about the place and culture and he also spoke good English.
Hi, how nice to read that you enjoyed the tour. We will be waiting for you at the next opportunity.
We were overall very disappointed by this tour. We were picked up at our hotel and taken to a bus where dozens of others were on the tour. Our tour guide spoke mostly in Spanish during the tour and his English was quite difficult to understand. Nothing followed the itinerary.. Instead of having 2 hours at each stop, we only had one. At Pisac, we were the first to return in 1 hour as instructed by the tour guide but he and the rest of the group didn't come back until an hour and 20 mins later. We were sitting and waiting in the bus all of that time when we could have been exploring more. We didn't even stop at Iglesia de Urubamba! It was completely skipped from the tour. The archaeological park in Ollantaytambo was the most enjoyable part of the tour. We actually stayed for the time posted-- 1 hour and the guide gave us a lot of history about the place. It was beautiful. The last part of the trip in Chinchero would have been the second most enjoyable if it hadn't been for us being scammed there! We were taken to a market where a native demonstrated the ancient techniques of spinning alpaca yarn and all the natural methods of dying the yarn. After the demonstration, we were given time to shop there. We bought an alpaca sweater and some yarn. When we got back from our tour, we tested the yarn by burning the end of a strand. We discovered that it was fake--synthetic yarn!! Instead of smearing, the burnt strand stayed hard. We were completely scammed and ripped off. I'm so disappointed that this tour company took us to scammers. Please don't spend your money on this tour! It really ruined the whole experience for us. Only buy alpaca products from official Alpaca wool stores like Sol Alpaca and Kuna. Lesson learned.
Dear Renad, We thank you for taking your time to review your experience with us. Although, it is quite disappointing that your experience with us was not a pleasant one. It is quite surprising that you have mentioned our guide was not explaining in English, all our guides are bi-lingual and are fluently conversant in English. About the last part of the trip, we do our best to offer the authentic experience to our guests. This was the case here too. We just took our guests to the alpaca weaving centre as a part of the itinerary and did not oblige anyone to buy anything. It was completely your decision of buying the Alpaca Wool sweater and yarn. It is quite an disappointment to know that you are reviewing the whole experience based on your experience with the vendors who are not a part of our organisation. We hope to see you again and offer you a more pleasant experience with us. Thank you for considering Heidi Travels. Regards, Heidi.
The guide, Carlos, was knowledgeable and could be understood. Except for the lunch stop (which was really awful — so I’m glad I brought snacks) I enjoyed the tour. One warning, when trying to do so many things in one day, you get only a taste. This was fine for me, but if you want to explore the archeological sites and commune with nature, find a different mode of transportation. Oh, and bring rain gear if it’s rainy season...even if there’s no rain in Cusco, it may be rainy in the mountains.
Hello, we hope you can come back soon. We will try to make your visit much better, we will be attentive to assist you in a next opportunity. Cheers!
Great city, ideal for day trips to countless sacred sites. Great markets and shops invite you to linger and shop. From simple eateries to expensive restaurants, you can really find a lot of variety.
Vielen Dank, dass Sie uns Ihre Erfahrungen mitgeteilt haben. Wir hoffen, dass Sie bald wiederkommen und Cusco weiterhin genießen können.
We took this tour and it was better than expected. The tour guide was very nice and our tour was in english only, what was a suprise to us. The lunch was in a buffet Restaurant, which we really enjoyed. A good variety and fresh food. The explanations at the sights were sufficient. The sights itself were crowded, but thats not the issue of the tour. We think this tour was fully worth it.
Hello Vicent, we are glad to know that you enjoyed our tour. Thanks for stopping by, we hope you can come back very soon.
