We will visit the stunning ruins of Pisac and its colourful local market.
An incredible site with relatively small number of tourists visiting daily. This place has different buildings such as plazas, temples, pools and other structures, that were constructed between the 10th and 11th centuries AD. We highly recommend reserving several hours to explore this site.
The Inca architecture is impressive as they used their techniques to build enormous terraces which go from south to east covering a huge mountain located from 3,000-3,450 masl (9,843 - 11,319 fasl). Its palaces and the way the stone blocks have been placed is truly incredible.


Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Complejo Arqueologico Chinchero, Chinchero Peru

The small town of Chinchero is located about 18 miles from Cusco city with wonderful views of the Urubamba mountain range. Not many people visit it but it sure has a lot of interesting spots you wouldn’t want to miss such as: great Inca ruins (aqueducts and terraces and Inca stone work), a church built by the Spaniards that dates from the 1600s on top of what used to be the remains of an Inca palace. Its main and most unique attraction is probably the weaving demonstrations. Local talented women dressed in their traditional clothes will explain step by step how they produce different colours for the wool they use to make their beautiful textiles as well as how they get them washed with natural products. You can buy some of their products at the end of their demonstration if you’d like.
