📍 Departure: 6:20 AM from your hotel (if centrally located) or 6:40 AM from the main square of Cusco.
⏳ Duration: Full day tour (approx. 6:40 AM – 7:10 PM)

Get ready for an unforgettable journey through the most iconic and culturally rich sites of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Here’s what your day will look like:

🔹 Chinchero
Our first stop is the charming town of Chinchero, famous for its colonial church built atop Inca foundations and its vibrant textile tradition. Enjoy a guided visit of approximately 30 minutes.

🔹 Moray
Next, we visit the fascinating circular agricultural terraces of Moray. These experimental Inca farming platforms, with varying microclimates, were used to domesticate crops from different regions of the empire.

🔹 Maras Salt Mines
We then head to the ancient salt mines of Maras, where locals have harvested salt from natural springs since pre-Inca times. A spectacular and photogenic site that still operates today.

🍽️ Lunch in Urubamba
We descend into the heart of the Sacred Valley for a delicious buffet lunch in the town of Urubamba, surrounded by stunning mountain views.

🔹 Ollantaytambo
Our journey continues to the majestic fortress of Ollantaytambo—an impressive archaeological complex with terraces, temples, and incredible stonework. This site was a key military, agricultural, and religious center for the Incas.

🔹 Pisac
After a scenic bus ride of approximately 2 hours, we arrive at Pisac, one of the most beautiful and extensive Inca archaeological sites. Explore its impressive terraces and temples built high on the mountainside.

⏱️ Return to Cusco
After a full day of exploration, we return to Cusco around 7:00 PM, arriving at the city’s main square (Plaza de Armas).
