Inca Living Legacy, Private Tour
6D | Private Roundtrip | From and to Cusco
What to expect?
Cusco is known for its Incan history, impressive archaeological centres and beautiful colonial heritage, as seen in its churches and mansions. But it is the living culture that fills it with charm: the towns that still preserve their mystical heritage and Andean traditions. Discover on this 6-day trip the true essence of the life of the Andean man. Visit communities and learn about their beliefs and rituals in what’s bound to be a unique experience.
TOUR HIGHLIGHTS:
Cusco: The ancient Inca capital is a unique blend of a pre-Columbian past and Spanish architecture. Its temples, squares and streets are surrounded by hills that hide fantastic archaeological sites such as Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay.
Huilloc: This small Quechua-speaking community is located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, 30 minutes from Ollantaytambo. Although the centuries have passed, they preserve their ancient traditions to this day.
Sacsayhuaman: An immense Inca fortress erected in the 15th century on top of a hill above Cusco. Its huge stones are a sign of past grandeur that continues to amaze visitors 500 years later .
Machu Picchu: The ‘lost city of the Incas’ is what draws thousands of people to Peru each year. Hidden among the vegetation, this mountain-top citadel, built in complete harmony with the landscape, hosts a wealth of rooms, temples, bridges and religious sites that offer the visitor a chance to get closer to Peru’s fascinating past.
