Day 03 Sacred Valley of the Incas

Full day tour in the Sacred Valley. This morning, visit Chincheros, a town of Inca origins, and its colorful, well-attended fair, that draws country folk once a week from all corners and heights of the valley to exchange their products. Continue on to the massive fortress of Ollantaytambo, a formidable stone structure that climbs massive terraces reaching the top of a high peak, was the valley’s main defense against the Antis and was the site of the Incas’ greatest victory against the Spanish during the wars of conquest. Return to your hotel this afternoon

Day 04 Sacred Valley of the Incas

This morning a 2-3 hour hike offers an opportunity to enjoy both the archaeological and aesthetic qualities of the Sacred Valley. The hike begins at the picturesque town of Maras, 67 km north of Cusco. The town itself has a colonial feel, and the nearby salt mines present excellent photographic opportunities. From there we hike the 7 km to Maras, a fascinating archaeological site comprising a series of concentric agricultural terraces, some as deep as 150 m, while enjoying the magnificent views this part of the Sacred Valley offers. Following this activity, enjoy a traditional lunch in the picturesque town of Maras, offering a delicious lunch, with a unique local flavor

Day 07 Cusco

Half-day tour of Cusco and it's surrounds featuring the Cathedral on the Plaza de Armas; the Santo Domingo Temple or Koricancha; a Dominican Church and convent built on the foundations of the Koricancha or ‘place of gold.’ After seeing the sights of the ancient city, visit the ruins of Sacsayhuaman, a true testimonial to Incan architectural skills (where the greatest battle between the Spanish and Incas took place) overlooks the red-tiled roofs of Cusco and the breathtaking countryside surrounding the city. Also visit Qenqo (“The Labyrinth”), an Incan shrine dedicated to Pachamama (‘Mother Earth’); the small fortress of Puka Pukara; and Tambomachay, a sacred bathing place.

More about Machu Picchu
Perched high above a sinuous bend in the Urubamba River, Machu Picchu has lured explorers, poets and pilgrims to its mist-wreathed ridge top ever since its discovery by the American explorer Hiram Bingham in July, 1911

No one lived here before the Incas. Those mighty empire builders from Cusco discovered this extraordinary place, finding it rich in natural features sacred to their religion. Both inspired and humbled by its dramatic natural beauty, their answer was to create on a vast scale one of the planet's most sensitive and harmonious works of art. The aesthetic genius of its layout and architecture coupled with the durability of its brilliant planning and engineering have given us today this finest of jewels among the UNESCO world heritage sites
.
Scholars still argue about the meaning of Machu Picchu: why it was built and what purpose it served, who lived there and when they departed. Most agree that its main intent was spiritual and ceremonial.
