Later on, we will drive towards the ruins of Pisac, you will see amazing works of stone art and impressive agricultural terraces. We will then head to the town of Urubamba, to experience a delicious buffet lunch. After lunch, we will drive to the town of Ollantaytambo. We will visit the ruins, an important area of Incan construction, built during the Inca’s heydays. This is an extraordinary Inca site because you can find rock formations representing the Inca god, Wiracocha. Continue to Chinchero to see how natural dyes are made for artisanal textiles. The town’s inhabitants live in dwellings and conditions nearly the same as their ancestors. They dress in multicolored clothing, speak only Quechua and maintain age-old customs. We will be back in Cusco around 7pm.

Very extensive and informative, we visited several sites and our guide provided quite extensive info per site, even though it was a long day it was worth it

This was a full day and really enjoyable. Our guide Jimmy was really helpful and considerate of the English and Spanish languages. The tour is a great chance to see Inca agricultural, royal residence, food storage, and Peruvian textiles.
