DETAILED EXPERIENCE

Day 1

Upon your arrival at Cusco airport our Guest Services Representative will be waiting in the arrivals area. After collecting your luggage walk through

the doors and look for a sign with your name.

Excursion to Pisac Ruins & Market (Alternatives available: Chinchero,

Pisac Ruins, Pisac Market or Maras & Moray). Visit the Pisac mountaintop complex including overlooks, terraces and the

main temple, located next to the town of Pisac. It is known for its small, polished stones that fit perfectly together. In the main ruins, you will find

temples of the sun, moon, rain, rainbow, and stars, as well as a few Inca crosses rising from the ground. Among the most important buildings in the

area are Pisaca, which is a fine curving wall, the Intihuatana group of temples, and the military area, called “Q’ Allaqasa”. Exploring these ruins

means walking a path, which snakes its way along the hillsides east of the Sacred Valley.

Visit Pisac village and its traditional market. The small Main Square is filled

wall-to-wall with stalls selling the full range of Peruvian handicrafts: alpaca

sweaters and mittens, carved gourds or “mates burilados”, ceramics, felt hats, musical instruments, paintings, antiques, a huge variety of trinkets,

and, most of all, weavings and jewelry. Even if you are not buying, the café balconies overlooking the square offer you superb people-watching

opportunities. Traditionally, people of the highlands come down to exchange their produce such as vegetables, weavings and pottery, for

essentials such as salt, sugar and rice in a trade called “trueque”. You can also visit the church and a small interesting museum.

Lunch at Hacienda Huayoccari, a beautiful ranch built in the Fifties by one of the most prestigious families in Cusco: landowners and art collectors. It

is located 1.5 miles uphill from the main Sacred Valley road.

Huayoccari is a private home. It provides beautiful surroundings, amazing

garden and views, antiques and folk art throughout, and delicious food. The

_________________________________________________________________________________

house is lived-in by its owners and receives guests to private luncheons by appointment only.

Day 2 Breakfast at your hotel.

Excursion to Chinchero, Maras & Moray (Alternatives available: Pisac

Ruins, Pisac Market, Chinchero, Pisac Ruins & Market, Ollantaytambo, Maras & Moray or Pisac Market & Ollantaytambo).

Experience a full-day private guided excursion throughout the Sacred

Valley. First, visit Chinchero, a small Andean village, located high-up on the windswept plains of Anta (12,342.52 ft.), about 30 km from Cusco. You

will find yourself surrounded by gorgeous views overlooking the Sacred Valley of the Incas and the Cordillera Vilcabamba, with the snow-capped

peak of Salkantay dominating the western horizon. This is the location of the village of Chinchero. Chinchero means the birthplace of the rainbow in

Quechua. This excursion combines Inca ruins with a typical Andean village,

a colonial church, some wonderful mountain views, and a colorful traditional market.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Lunch at El Parador de Moray restaurant. The house has a central courtyard

where you can find entertainment options, and 3 rooms arranged perpendicularly around the yard with large and small windows that make

amazing postcards views of mountains, valley fields, and an esplanade with an impeccable view of Moray.

Continue through the sites of Maras and Moray. En route, witness some of the best sites in the valley. First, stop at the ancient salt mines, nearby

the town of Maras, which can be seen from an old chapel just above. Second, visit the huge circular agricultural terraces at Moray built by the

Incas in natural sinkholes on a limestone plateau overlooking the Urubamba Valley. It has been suggested that they have a cosmological meaning;

however, the Incas are thought to have used them as a kind of crop–laboratory to determine the optimal conditions of each species.

Day 3

Breakfast at your hotel.

Excursion to Ollantaytambo en route to the Ollantaytambo train station.

Visit Ollantaytambo, the oldest continuously occupied settlement in the Americas, which shows the best surviving example of Inca city planning.

Its fortress, with its extremely well built walls, was both a temple and a fortress to the Incas. The spectacular steep terraces that guard the Inca

complex mark one of the few places where the Conquerors lost a major battle. The temple area is at the top of steep terracing, which helped to

provide excellent defenses. The stones for Ollantaytambo were taken from

a nearby quarry on the mountainside of the opposite bank of the river. This was an incredible feat involving the efforts of thousands of workers. The

complex was still under construction by the time of the conquest and was never completed.

Board the Vistadome train in Ollantaytambo for your 1.5 hour journey to

Machu Picchu. With the Vistadome train, you are completely surrounded by panoramic windows, allowing unsurpassed scenic views and photographic

opportunities as you cruise deeper into the Inca´s territory. On-board entertainment, snacks, and hot and cold refreshments are included. Arrival
