Description

Begin your day early in Cusco, where you'll be picked up directly from your hotel. As the city slowly wakes, head into the Sacred Valley — a landscape where every mountain feels like it’s watching you pass. Arrive in Pisaq, a vibrant town where tradition spills into every corner. Explore the famous Pisaq Market, a mosaic of colors, textiles, and handcrafted treasures. Visit the Pisaq Archaeological Site, perched high above the valley, with sweeping terraces and panoramic views that whisper stories of the Inca past. Next, enjoy a delicious detour at one of the Sacred Valley’s most iconic mud ovens. Participate in a hands-on empanada workshop, learn traditional baking techniques passed down through generations, and taste your freshly baked creation — warm, rustic, and unforgettable. Continue to Urubamba, the heart of the valley, for a buffet lunch. Enjoy a variety of Peruvian and Andean dishes, from fresh salads and local grains to traditional mains — all surrounded by the calm beauty of the valley. Arrive in Ollantaytambo, one of the few places where the Inca urban layout still lives and breathes. Visit the Ollantaytambo Archaeological Site, with its impressive terraces and ceremonial structures. Stroll through the ancient cobblestone streets, still inhabited and flowing with daily life. After your visit, return to Cusco or stay in Ollantaytambo for your train connection to Machu Picchu.
