Description

We will pick you up from your hotel and travel to Chinchero, a small rustic town with a long tradition of textile weaving. See various textiles woven with traditional Incan techniques. Next, you will visit the Moray agricultural terraces that were built along the hillsides. These terraces were built by the Incas to grow an abundance of crops on less-than-ideal mountain terrain. Right next to this area, at Moras, there are over 5000 salt ponds which were used for a long time by our ancestors. This helped preserve their food for long periods. After learning about Incan agricultural techniques, make your way to Urubamba, the capital of the Sacred Valley of Urubamba where you are treated to a buffet lunch. After lunch, make your way to the historical town of Ollantaytambo. At Ollantaytambo, climb over 200 steps to reach the top of the ancient terraced fortress that overlook the town. This was an important defensive location during Incan times. After visiting Ollantaytambo, the tour guide drops you off you at the train station or the main square in Ollantaytambo.
