Your excursion today starts with a visit to the Chinchero community, which is located around 28 km from Cusco. Here you will find the remains of the palace of the Inca Tupac Yupanqui as well as beautiful colonial temples built on the foundations of the Inca buildings. However, the Chinchero market, which takes place every Sunday and where local producers from the Sacred Valley offer their products, is particularly outstanding. This colorful and lively market fascinates its visitors with a large selection of handicrafts and textiles in the original pre-Columbian style.

You will then be transferred to the viewpoint “El Mirador de Racchi”, from where you will have a magnificent view of the Sacred Valley.

You will then be taken to your hotel.

Finally, you will visit Tambococha – a traditional village nestled in a landscape of majestic mountains and fertile fields. This special place offers you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the Andean way of life and to connect with a community that preserves centuries-old customs and lives in close harmony with nature. You will be warmly welcomed with traditional music and enjoy a typical coca tea in a special atmosphere, as well as a taste of a typical Cusco snack: fresh corn with cheese, a simple but delicious local specialty.
