A valley shaped by the Incas
The Sacred Valley was one of the most valued regions for the Incas. Its fertile soils and natural irrigation from surrounding rivers made it a key agricultural center that still thrives today.

Today, you will continue discovering the Sacred Valley with a visit to Pisac, known for its traditional craft market. As you wander through its stalls, you will find a variety of handmade pieces, from textiles to ceramics and jewelry, reflecting the region’s cultural heritage.

The journey continues to the archaeological site of Pisac, where you can observe the impressive agricultural terraces carved into the mountainside by the Incas. Later, you will head to Ollantaytambo, home to one of the most remarkable fortresses in the valley. There, you will explore its stone structures, terraces, and pathways, while learning about its role as a strategic, religious, and royal site.

A living Inca town
Ollantaytambo is one of the few places where the original Inca urban layout is still in use. Walking through its streets offers a glimpse into how life was organized during Inca times, with water channels and stone foundations that remain unchanged.

Today is yours to enjoy at your own pace. You may choose to return to Machu Picchu for a second visit and continue exploring the citadel from a different perspective. For those looking for a more active experience, it is possible to hike Wayna Picchu (subject to availability), the peak that rises above the ruins. The ascent takes around an hour and leads to unique viewpoints, along with the lesser-known Temple of the Moon, hidden among the mountainside.

If you prefer a slower rhythm, Aguas Calientes offers a relaxed setting to wander, with quiet streets, small cafés, and scenic spots by the river.

Return to Cuzco
In the afternoon, you will head to the train station and travel back to Cuzco. Upon arrival, you will make your way to your hotel, where you can settle in and rest after your time in the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.
