Itinerary
Pick up from your hotel at 8:00 a.m. and drive to the Sacred Valley. The first stop is the Alpaca Center, a weaving cooperative and camel farm in the Sacred Valley region near Cusco, Peru. It's a living museum where visitors can learn about the traditional Andean weaving process and get up close to the Andean camelids—llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos. Later, continue for 10 minutes to Mirador Taray, where you will have the most amazing view of the Sacred Valley.
Next you will continue to Pissac and explore the best of the town. Pisac, also spelled Pisaq, is a Peruvian village in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. It's situated on the Vilcanota River and is known for its impressive Incan ruins and lively artisan market. It's located about 33 km east of Cusco, the historical capital of the Inca Empire, making it a popular day trip for travelers in the area.
After Pisac, we will drive along the Vacred Valley until Urubamba where we will enjoy an amazing lunch in a local restaurant.
After enjoying a delicious lunch we will drive to Ollantaytambo, considered the “Last living Inca City”. Upon arriving we will explore the original Inca street where people currently are still using, visit the houses, see their lifestyle, and how it is possible to use still such ancient constructions.
The last stop is Chinchero, called The land of great weavers, visit the Incan terraces and the colonial church to later visit the local textile center to learn the ancient weaving techniques. From here, we come back to Cusco arriving approximately at 5:00 pm

TreXperience - Jose Abad
Jose Abad from TreXperience was our guide. He is very knowledgeable, guest oriented in his commentary, respectful, kind and has very good stories to convey the historical events and the archeological facts. He is vested in the community and comes across as very genuine in his interactions with the vendors, the community partners and locals and builds trust and great relationship with the guests! Keep up the great work Jose and thank you for the experience and connecting with our children in the tours!
