We start early in the morning from our hotel in Cusco, or from the airport. With our private car and English speaking guide, we start to explore the real Peru. This tour will bring you first to Chinchero, 30km from Cuzco, situated in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. We travel across a high plain with splendid views of the Cordiller.The weaving town of Chinchero have a church what dates back to the 1600s. Its paintings and frescoes are well preserved. Chinchero is a picturesque community that combines both Inca and colonial architecture. We will observe a demonstration of the traditional weaving process. After this visit we drive to Moray, en route we enjoy our pic nic lunch.
Here we visit one of the most interesting of the Inca constructions – believed to have been an agricultural experiment station. About 7 km to the southwest of Maras; The Incas created their own micro-climate to adapt the plants to this altitude. Afterwards we go to our glamping in Moray misminay where we meet our local family. They show us our comfortable tent. Enjoy from your tent panoramic views of immense crop fields and majestic snow peaks in an Andean rural town. You will not want to miss the sunrise when the sun appears behind the mountains in front of you. María and Mario Mayhua are a cheerful and very kind couple from Misminay. They will show you the surroundings of this wonderful place and will surprise you with delicious typical dishes.
In the afternoon we learn how to make Adobe bricks. The blocks of adobe used for the construction of the houses, are the material par excellence of the Andes. The adobe allows to have resistant houses, easy to make and the most important thing is that it retains the heat on cold nights. We invite you to see how the land can serve as construction material. Duration: 1 hour to 1½ hour.Than we take diner with our familie.

Maras which is well-known for its colonial style houses and interesting churches. Here we visit the famous salt pans. Which was already exploited since the Inca era . Maras are constituted by about 3000 small Salt pans. After this visit we drive to the village of Urubamba where we can visit the local market. We stop somewhere for our lunch before we drive to Ollantaytambo. Here we visit the amazing ruins, Ollanta is a lovely place to be. It’s perfect for wandering the narrow byways, past stone buildings and babbling irrigation channels, pretending you’ve stepped back in time.In the afternoon we take the train to Aquas calientes. It takes 1 h 30 min from Ollantaytambo . Ones in Aquas calientes, the hotel wait for you with a name sign, to bring you to your hotel. It,s much warmer here, we are at the border of the jungle.

Day 3
Early in the morning, we line up for the bus who take you to the actual site of the “Lost City of the Incas.” Machu Picchu. It,s about 25 min drive.
Your bilingual guide will take you throughout the vast ruins. Machu Picchu is the best known of the Inca ruins, as it is recognized worldwide, yet it is not mentioned in any of the writings of the Spanish Conquistadors. It is believed to have been constructed around the mid-15th century and was “rediscovered” by American historian Hiram Bingham in 1911. The guided tour of this fascinating place is an awe-inspiring experience.
