Let the excitement build as you journey into the Sacred Valley of the Incas, winding through mountains that form one of the most spiritual landscapes on the planet. Be thrilled by the twists and turns of the country roads as you approach Pisac, a town that boasts sumptuous organic food, a colourful artisan market and some of the finest panoramic views of the valley. Peruse the market with its abundance of hand made crafts and clothes, before continuing along the winding Vilcanota River, passing by charming small towns en route to Urubamba. You will notice the fields of giant white Inca corn, so symbolic and important for dishes throughout Peru. Stopping in Urubamba for lunch, you may even be able to savour some of the fresh corn growing in the fields around you. Enjoy the taste of traditional Peruvian cuisine before stepping back in time to discover the stunning terraced ruins of Ollantaytambo. As you walk around the massive stone constructions, find yourself marvelling at the precision of the ancient craftsmanship. The town’s significance to the Inca Empire is vastly important, its rich culture seeps in from the walls that surround it.
Your day in the Sacred Valley will come to an end as your guide directs you to the train station. Here you will ride the 2-hour journey to Aguas Calientes, where you will be met and escorted to your new accommodation. After a briefing on your journey to Machu Picchu, enjoy dinner before resting up for your day of magic ahead.
