  Complejo Arqueologico Chinchero

  Chinchero (3,762 masl / 12,343 ft.) is a charming Andean village where Inca heritage and colonial influences intertwine. Here, we admire the well-preserved Inca walls that frame the main square, along with ceremonial altars that still resonate with the spiritual energy of the past. We then visit the colonial church, a hidden gem adorned with vivid murals and intricate artwork, offering a fascinating blend of Inca and Spanish traditions. To continue our journey, we immerse ourselves in the world of Andean textiles, where local artisans share their ancestral weaving techniques. Using natural dyes and hand-spun wool, they create intricate patterns that tell the stories of their people—a craft passed down through generations, long before the Incas.

  Archaeological Park Ollantaytambo

  We continue deeper into the Sacred Valley, following the winding road through breathtaking Andean landscapes toward Ollantaytambo. Arriving in Ollantaytambo (2,792 masl / 9,160 ft.), we step into one of the best-preserved Inca towns, where time seems to stand still. The town’s original urban layout, cobbled streets, and flowing water channels remain much as they were centuries ago. Here, we explore the imposing Inca fortress, a masterpiece of strategic military planning and engineering. Towering above the town, its massive stone terraces once served as both defensive walls and agricultural terraces. Climbing the Temple of the Sun, we take in panoramic views of the valley, while uncovering the site’s role in one of the few Inca victories against the Spanish.

  Parque Arqueologico Pisac

  Leaving Ollantaytambo, we embark on a 1 hour drive through the Sacred Valley, following the Urubamba River toward Pisac (2,972 masl / 9,751 ft.). Upon arrival, we explore the Pisac Archaeological Site, perched high on the mountainside. Its impressive terraces, ceremonial temples, and observatories highlight the Incas’ advanced engineering and spiritual traditions. From here, breathtaking views extend across the valley. Descending into town, we visit the Pisac Market, a lively gathering place where artisans sell handwoven textiles, silver jewelry, and pottery. This is the perfect spot to experience local culture, meet artisans, and find unique souvenirs. After a day immersed in history and tradition, we return to Cusco, bringing our Sacred Valley journey to an end.
