Visit Pisac Archaeological Site and Calca Market
Begin your journey in the highlands above the Sacred Valley, where the ancient archaeological site of Pisac unfold across the mountainside. Once a significant ceremonial and agricultural centre, Pisac is home to the only remaining Inca sun dial outside of Machu Picchu. As you explore its temples and terraces, the panoramic views over the valley below are nothing short of extraordinary.
Continue to the charming andean town of Calca, nestled at the foot of the eastern range. Its lively market offers a vivid glimpse into everyday life, with stalls overflowing with local produce, herbs, and flowers — a timeless meeting place where tradition and exchange come alive.
Please allow approximately four hours for the entire experience.
Box Lunch included
Visit Moray, Maras & Ollantaytambo
Begin your journey in Moray, where vast concentric terraces descend gracefully into the earth. Though some suggest a cosmological purpose, it is widely believed the Incas used this site as an agricultural laboratory — a space where nature and ingenuity met in quiet experimentation.
Continue to the salt ponds of Maras, still harvested by hand using centuries-old techniques, offering a rare window into living tradition. Then explore Ollantaytambo, the oldest continuously inhabited town in the Americas. With its perfectly aligned terraces and ceremonial fortress, it remains the most tangible expression of Inca urban planning.
Please allow approximately six hours for the entire experience.
