Our first stop will be Chinchero, where the town has preserved its artisanal traditions (textile weaving).
During the Inca era, Chinchero was the summer palace of the Incas. After the Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro conquered Chinchero, he destroyed the archaeological site and built a church over it. Next, we visit Maras, known worldwide for its salt ponds, which our ancestors used to obtain salt.
Our next stop will be Moray, which was an agricultural laboratory where we will observe the mastery with which the Incas worked. The Incas used these circular cultivation terraces with different temperatures to test the growing conditions of crops.
Then we stop in Urubamba, where we will have our buffet lunch.
Finally, we visit Ollantaytambo, a charming town that was the administrative capital of the Incas, which will leave us amazed by the location of its constructions.
After the guided tour, we head to the train station to travel to the town of Aguas Calientes, also known as Machu Picchu Pueblo.
The journey from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes takes approximately two hours.
In Machu Picchu Pueblo, our representative will meet you at the train station and take you to your hotel.
That evening, our local guide will meet with you and inform you of your itinerary for the next day.
Our adventure will begin at the designated time by our guide. We will pick you up from the hotel and travel by bus (CONSETTUR) to the main entrance of the citadel of Machu Picchu, the Wonder of the World, for about 30 minutes.
