Description:

Trade all things modern for a bit of ancient mystique—this day tour leaves Cusco behind for the charming Sacred Valley of the Incas. Haggle for handmade goods in a village market, feast on local cuisine, and marvel at Incan ruins as you explore the surrounding mountainous landscapes.

Enjoy a hotel pickup and head towards the quaint village of Pisac. Get an up-close perspective of Andean life at a local craft market. Peruse the rows of stands—ranging from alpaca sweaters to intricate, regional textiles—and even try your hand at the common practice of bartering.

From here, hit the road again. Soak up the incredible mountain vistas on your way to Urubamba, the capital of the Sacred Valley. Have a seat around a spread of local cuisine, and indulge in lunch. Swing by a chicheria to sip a refreshing cup of chicha—traditional corn beer.

Continue to ancient Ollantaytambo, where you can wander the 15th-century cobbled streets and experience local life by visiting a family's home to hear stories about the region’s traditions, culture, and beliefs. From here, head to the archaeological ruins of Ollantaytambo, and immerse yourself in the Incan past, before heading back through the valley to Cusco.
