Upon your arrival in Cusco, you'll be greeted by a representative who will introduce you to your private guide and driver for your Cusco visit. They will then accompany you in a private vehicle to Pisac, a significant Inca site located in the Urubamba Valley, with various stops along the way.
Llama & Alpaca Ranch | En Route to Pisac On the journey to Pisac, you'll have the opportunity to encounter the diverse Andean camelids that inhabit this region, including llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos. Alpacas are known for their thick wool, commonly used in textiles, while vicuñas, smaller in size, possess delicate fur considered the finest in the world.
Guided Visit of Pisac Market and Ruins Following your visit to the Llama & Alpaca Ranch, continue to Pisac, where you can immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the town's famous market. Here, you'll discover an array of handcrafted goods and fresh produce. Afterward, explore the Pisac ruins, featuring Inca masonry of exceptional quality.

Alpacas
Explore Ollantaytambo and its captivating ruins, where the town retains its original Inca layout, with inhabitants residing in traditional cancha enclosures once occupied by Inca elites. The archaeological site here is of immense historical importance, as it was the setting for a significant battle during the Conquest, one of the rare instances where the Incas triumphed over the Spaniards. Following this visit, your journey continues.
In the afternoon, you'll head to Maras, home to the extraordinary Salinas, a unique site nestled in the heart of the Sacred Valley near Urubamba. These vast terraces collect salt through the evaporation of saline waters flowing from an underground stream. Constructed similarly to agricultural terraces found throughout the Andes, the Salinas have been in use since pre-Columbian times. The salt-encrusted terraces create a visually striking scene. Nearby, in Maras, you'll discover the enigmatic Inca terraces of Moray. This exceptional site, believed to have been used for agricultural experiments, features several large circular terraced depressions. After your visit, you'll be transferred back to your hotel.

We will start by crossing a bridge that spans the banks of the Urubamba River, beginning at the archaeological complex of Cachabamba. Then, we will ascend towards the ruins of Wiñay Wayna. Access to this site is only on foot, and it is the closest archaeological site to Machu Picchu. Our next stop will be the Inti Punku (Sun Gate), where you will get your first incredible view of Machu Picchu, a sight that leaves everyone in awe. From here, we will begin our descent towards Machu Picchu.
Discover the awe-inspiring ruins of Machu Picchu on a guided tour led by an expert guide. This iconic destination, often referred to as the 'lost city of the Incas,' stands as a testament to human ingenuity and the prosperity of the expansive Inca empire in pre-Columbian America. Discovered just over a century ago through an excavation led by Yale archaeologist Hiram Bingham and the National Geographic Society of Washington, Machu Picchu has rightfully claimed its place in history.
Perched on a mountaintop at 2,430 meters (7,972 feet) above sea level, Machu Picchu is believed to have served as an Inca settlement for economic control over neighboring communities. It is often associated with the royal property of Pachacutec, the influential Inca responsible for expanding the empire.
