Sacred Valley Itinerary:
- Visit Pisac Market & Ruins
- Ollantaytambo
- Chinchero
- Chinchero Market
Sites to Visit:
-
It is here in this most beautiful, strategic spot, 60 kilometres from Cusco, that the Inca Pachacutec built his fortress of Ollantaytambo. It is a beautiful setting and the hills that surround it hide some of the most impressive ruins in the Valley.
It contains structures such as the Temple of the Sun, the Royal Hall, the Incahuatana and the Banos de la Princesa (Princess Baths).
This site is one of the few places that the Spaniards lost a battle during the conquest. -
Chinchero
The remains of what was the royal hacienda of Tupac Inca Yupanqui, as well as a beautiful colonial temple built on Inca foundations.
There is also a Sunday market here, although it attracts fewer tourists than Pisac. You can find many handicrafts and local produce here. The Incas envisioned Cusco as having a puma shape - Sacsayhuaman was the head.
The magnificent zigzag walls are the major attraction. The grounds surrounding Sacsayhuaman are still used today for the colourful festival of Inti Raymi which is held on the 24th June every year. -

Here we experience a vibrant atmosphere of communities, traditions and bartering.
