PLACES TO VISIT IN THE SACRED VALLEY VIP TOUR
CHINCHERO CRAFTS MARKET.
This town is located 28 km from Cusco on the paved road to Urubamba. The remains of what was once the royal hacienda of Tupac Inca Yupanqui” are found here, like a beautiful colonial temple built on Inca foundations. Its main attraction, however, is its handicraft market, originally dedicated to the bartering of agricultural products between the villagers of the valley and those of the highlands. Currently, the market is a true spectacle of colour and movement that causes the fascination of the tourist with its offer of handicrafts and textile garments elaborated in the purest pre-Columbian style.
MORAY.
It is located 7 km. from Maras, 01 hour from the city of Cusco by the route of Chinchero is one of the most spectacular visits where there are circular terraces of different sizes. They are terraces of agricultural experimentation and places of concentration of feminine energy, for which it is considered as a magnetic centre of the Pachamama.
SALT MINES OF MARAS.
Located northwest of the town of Maras known by some as “salt mines” are made up of about 3000 small wells. The salt has been obtained since pre-Hispanic times through a system of drying salt water that comes from a subway stream in the sun. Once the water has evaporated, the salt is ready for sale.
URUBAMBA
A great place with Inca productions, most primordially corn, and today a beautiful countryside, with great production of fruit trees. An excellent place to enjoy our lunch buffet typical of the area.
OLLANTAYTAMBO
Typical Inca village located 21 Km. from Urubamba (2800 masl). It was named in honour of the cacique Ollanta, famous for his romance with an Inca princess, daughter of Pachacutec. One of its best preserved areas extends to the north of the Hanan Huacaypata plaza, a total of 15 blocks of mansions built on carved stone walls. In the vast archaeological site, located on the hill that names the town, buildings such as the Temple of the Sun, the Intihuatana and the Baths of the Princess stand out. From Ollantaytambo, an affirmed Inca Trail ascends to the Malaga pass (4,200 metres above sea level) and heads in the direction of the mountain ridge, passing through villages such as the picturesque Huilloc, home to renowned Huairuros.
PISAC
Pisaq is located 33 km from Cusco by paved road (from the Sacred Valley of the Incas). It has an ancient town, an archaeological site considered among the most important of Cusco, and a modern town of colonial origin. This place also has a very famous Pisac handicraft market that attracts thousands of visitors and villagers from remote villages, wearing the colourful traditional costumes. Here it is recommended to buy all the handicrafts, as these are cheaper than in the city of Cusco.
