Sacred Valley of the Incas, Pisac and Ollantaytambo  (full day)

The Sacred Valley of the Incas is waiting for you. On the way we will stop at Awanacancha to admire Andean camelids such as alpacas and llamas and learn from local inhabitants about traditional dyeing and knitting techniques. Later we will explore the Pisac Market with enough free time to buy handcrafts and if you feel like tasting something traditional, stop by the wood ovens for a delicious empanada or a piece of bread. We’ll then have lunch at a local restaurant.

In the afternoon, our tour continues to Ollantaytambo, a small town full of local color and inhabited since Inca times in which we will visit the main temple used as a fortress during the Inca resistance. Experience breathtaking views for amazing pictures.
