This Trek was amazing. I had done the short inca trail before but David, our guide, made it more memorable than the first. He was incredibly knowledgeable, beyond patient and brilliantly tempered. The organisation was flawless. Can't recommend David and his tour agency highly enough. Thanks so much guys.

This six-hour, guided, group tour will take you to two Inca highlights around Cusco. We will pick you up from your accommodation in Cusco at 8:00 am and drive you through the mountains to Moray, the first destination of this trip.
Once there, you will get the chance to learn more about the importance of this place and its function in the Inca era while taking some amazing photos. Located on a high plateau around 50 kilometres outside Cusco, Moray consists of several terraced, circular depressions along with an irrigation system and is said to have been used as an agricultural laboratory by the Incas.
Next, we will take to the town of Maras where you can see Spanish, colonial-style architecture. But more than that, Maras is famous for its salinas, or salt ponds. Take in the sight of more than 3,000 salt ponds dug down a canyon in terraces. These ponds are still being maintained and exploited by the local population.
It is time to return to Cusco after you are done seeing the two highlights. The transport will drop you off at the city centre (Cusco's main square) at 2:00 pm. However, if you have booked the optional private transport with us, we will drop you off at your hotel in the city.

Enjoy the best places of the Sacred Valley of the Incas in a Private Tour. Our representative will pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 am and drive you through the mountains on the way to Pisac. We will stop along the way at a viewpoint from which you can enjoy great views of the valley.
Once in Pisac, you can wander through its famous artisan market as well as its archaeological centre before it is time to continue to the town of Urubamba, where we will stop for an amazing buffet lunch in a nice tourist restaurant.
Next on the itinerary is the famous archaeological site of Ollantaytambo, known for its ruins of a massive Inca fortress. Learn more about the history of this place from your tour guide before we return back to Cusco with a stopover at Chinchero, a town known for its weavers as well as Inca ruins.
Your trip comes to an end at your hotel in Cusco at 06:30 pm.
Your tour starts with a walking tour to visit the principal local market, San Pedro. Then, walk around Cusco’s city center, visiting the beautiful main square and the Cathedral of Cusco, which holds many archaeological artifacts and relics. Among them is a famous painting of the Last Supper by Marcos Zapata, showing Christ and the apostles eating a guinea pig.
Continue your tour to the huge Inca ceremonial center of Sacsayhuaman, which overlooks the city of Cusco. Then visit another important Inca site known as Qenqo, which houses subterranean passages and a mummification site. After that, you will make a short visit to the archaeological Inca site of Tambomachay, a temple dedicated to the god of water.
We will have a lovely home-style lunch, in the heart of the traditional neighborhood of San Blas, in a picturesque, rustic courtyard surrounded by cherry trees and tumbles. Perfect for an outdoor lunch next to the wood-fired oven accompanied by a melodious Andean harp.
After lunch, we will return to the city center, where you will visit one of the most sacred Inca buildings, the Temple of Qoricancha. Within its walls religious ceremonies were constant, and offerings to the Gods and the Inca’s mummies were made each day.
After the city tour you will be dropped off at your hotel.
