Cusco Sensacional

Resumen

1. Día1 VISIT SACSAYHUAMÁN AND TOUR THE CITY OF CUSCO.

   On the afternoon of your arrival, we will explore Sacsayhuamán, known as the "Adorned Head of the Puma." This site served as the Inca ruling palace and housed a temple where their revered leader guided his people. Despite being labeled a fortress by Europeans, it's the colossal stone blocks used in its construction that astound. According to Cusco's oral tradition, approximately 70,000 individuals dedicated 50 years to constructing this palace.

   Lunchtime follows, and afterward, we'll stroll through the city's main streets, where you'll be captivated by the flawless Inca stonework. Envision the time and place when the Inca civilization thrived as a great empire.

   You'll spend the night in Cusco.

2. Día2 VISIT THE SACRED VALLEY OF THE INCAS.

   The following morning, we'll depart from the hotel and set our course for Pisac and Ollantaytambo to discover the ingenious Inca techniques employed in terrace farming. Next, we'll journey to the Maras salt flats, located in the upper reaches of the valley, where a thermal spring releases a small stream of salt-rich water. This water is directed into salt pans, allowing it to evaporate and produce salt, a vital resource for the local community. We'll have the opportunity to observe the salt flats from the road before descending to visit them up close.

   Our exploration continues with a visit to the remarkable agricultural terraces of Moray. Here, the Inca crafted terraces within deep bowls or sinks, serving as experimental sites for adapting Andean crops to varying altitudes. You can opt for a leisurely walk or simply drive to the town of Maras, offering spectacular mountain views. A picnic lunch, thoughtfully prepared by an outdoor catering service amidst the picturesque landscapes, awaits.

   You'll spend the night in Urubamba.
