Today you will be taken on a full day private Pisac Market & Archaeological Complex / Ollantaytambo / Chinchero

The day’s outing begins with a visit to the town of Pisac, 31 km from Cuzco, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The old city, an Incan archaeological site, is located at the top of a mountain, and there you will witness firsthand the stonemasonry skill of our ancient ancestors. Afterwards, you will descend to the town and walk through its colorful market. And then it’s off to the last destination: Ollantaytambo, another small town but famous for its narrow stone streets, canal that brings fresh water right into the city limits, and an archaeological complex that is evidence of the Inca’s superb grasp of urban planning.

Then, you will visit Chinchero, a quaint little town that houses an important Incan outpost, built at the end of the 1400’s, as well as a lovely and very traditional church. The townsfolk are famous for having preserved traditional Andean spinning and weaving techniques, and they set up a market in the town square to sell handmade crafts made around the region to visitors.
