Begin with a visit to the Pisac Market, one of the most renowned in the Cusco region.

Continue to the Pisac Archaeological Park, where you’ll gain insight into the ingenuity of the ancient Inca civilization.
In the afternoon, explore the impressive Ruins of Ollantaytambo, widely regarded as a masterpiece of Inca architecture. The site features 17 remarkable terraces rising to a fortress, crowned by the striking Temple of the Sun—built from six massive pink granite monoliths—along with the iconic ten-niche wall and the Sun Gate.
The National Archaeological Park of Pisac comprises a vast complex of archaeological remains, including agricultural terraces, aqueducts, roads with walls and gateways, channeled waterways, cemeteries, and bridges.
Spanning approximately 4 square kilometers, the site extends across the surrounding hills, where the ruins appear both in intricately arranged clusters and as isolated structures.
Ollantaytambo was a key agricultural, military, and religious center during the Inca Empire.
Today, it continues to impress with its finely crafted stonework and monumental structures set high in the Peruvian Andes. It is widely believed to have served as the last stronghold of the Inca nobility during their resistance and retreat from the Spanish toward the jungle. Like many Inca sites, it was constructed using massive, precisely cut stones, demonstrating the extraordinary engineering skills of the civilization.

After breakfast, we will first discover Moray, the enigmatic Inca ruin in the beautiful Sacred Valley. Moray is one of the famous Inca ruins near Cusco. It is composed of three groups of circular terraces (muyus in Quechua) that descend 490 feet (150 meters) from the highest terrace to the lowest. Then we will head to the Salineras de Maras, which is made up of more than 3,000 natural salt wells near the town of Maras. Following, we will visit Chinchero. It is one of the most representative towns of Cusco in general. Known for its archeology and its crafts. After the visit, we will return to the hotel.
Moray is one of the famous Inca ruins near Cusco. It is composed of three groups of circular terraces (muyus in Quechua) that descend 490 feet (150 meters) from the highest terrace to the lowest. Each muyu has 12 levels of terraces with the largest depression having a diameter of 600-feet. Surrounded by the towering Andes mountains, looking into the depths of these man-made craters will fill you with awe and wonder.
The Maras Salt Mines are more than 6,000 salts ponds carved by the Incas. In the distance, these resemble a snow layer. It is an unparalleled view where the pools have various shades of white or earthy brown. The precious Peruvian pink salt is one of the treasures that ancient ancestral cultures have left us. Although the salt flats themselves were created by man, the water that is channeled into these pools comes from a natural underground spring. This underground spring is constantly and quietly carrying the water so that it fills the various ponds with the precious pink salt.
In the morning, we will depart from the hotel and head to the Willoq community. It brings tourists closer to the daily life of a high Andean community of Ollantaytambo in the department of Cusco. After arriving in Willoq, you will have the opportunity to wear unique clothing. Then, you will appreciate the weaving process and the shearing of wool. At noon, you will enjoy a local specialty lunch. After lunch, we will be back to Ollantaytambo Ruins for a visit. After the visit, we will return to the hotel.

Machu Picchu stands at 2,430 meters above sea level, nestled within a tropical mountain forest in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. It is considered one of the most remarkable urban achievements of the Inca Empire at its height, with massive stone walls, terraces, and ramps that appear seamlessly carved from the natural rock formations.
Located on the eastern slopes of the Andes, the site overlooks the upper Amazon Basin, an area rich in biodiversity. The monumental yet refined architecture of Machu Picchu harmonizes perfectly with its surrounding environment, to which it is closely connected. Numerous subsidiary sites, along with an extensive network of roads, trails, irrigation channels, and agricultural terraces, attest to the area’s long-standing and, in some cases, continuing human use.
