DAY 2: JUNE/ 21 SACRED VALLEY TOUR (SUNDAY)
Breakfast. You will be picked up between 7:15am and
7:45am. Full day excursion to the Urubamba Valley
visiting: The colorful Indian market in Pisac where a
mixture of color, tradition will be able appreciated.
Pisac is located to the entrance of the Sacred Valley
followed by Ollantaytambo. Most people visit Pisac to
see the market on Sunday, but there are smaller markets
on both Tuesday and Thursday. However Pisac is a pretty
village and has plenty of small handicraft shops and is
worth a visit on any day of the week as is a good place
to buy the local ceramics including a huge and varied
collection of hand-painted multi-coloured beads. Lunch
in a typical restaurant in Urubamba then we continue
with Ollantaytambo which is an attractive little town
located at the western end of the Sacred Valley,
considered the older town continuously occupied of the
American continent is located at the foot of some
spectacular Inca ruins which protected the strategic
entrance to the lower Urubamba Valley. The narrow
streets of Ollantaytambo, along with their channels that
have not varied from the Inca time, evoke their
ancestral inheritance, and then finish visiting
Chinchero.
Chinchero is a small Andean Indian village located high
up on the windswept plains of Anta at 3762m about 30km
from Cusco and is believed to be the mythical birthplace
of the rainbow. Its major claim to tourism is its
colorful Sunday market which is much less
tourist-orientated than the market at Pisac. At the end,
return to Cusco arriving at 6:30pm approximately at the
main plaza.
The night is free for you to eat in a restaurant of your
choice; although we always have plenty of suggestions
for you should you require them. (B, L)

DAY 5: JUNE/24 INTI RAYMI (WEDNESDAY)
Now that you've visited the great Inca’s architectural
achievements it will be apparent to you that the Sun was
the main deity worshiped in the Inca culture. Cusco
celebrates the Inti Raymi with occasion of the winter
solstice -the solar new year - for a town which main
cult object was the god Inti (the sun). In time of the
Incas was a religious ceremony, now it is a theater
representation. However this expression generates a
feeling of identity in the town that evokes values and
memories that are still excellent in our days, it also
brings to the memory a time that lives in the heart of
the town of Cusco (Qosqo).
The Inca gives a traditional oration, calling for
blessings from the sun, fabled to be the origin of the
Inca rulers. From here, the Inca, carried on a golden
throne, leads the procession through the ancient city of
Cusco up to Sacsayhuaman in the hills above city.
Transfer to the ruins where you have reservations to
watch the reenactment of the ancient ceremony of
sacrificing a llama to the Pachamama, Mother Earth
(don't worry, the llama sacrifices is simulated!), to
ensure the fertility of the earth and warmth from the
sun.
This special day also includes The New Fire Celebration.
No fires were allowed in the city this day until the
fire created by hollow mirror was used to concentrate
the sunlight onto animal fur and kindling. Only then
were all other fires started from this source.
You will also see the Inca representative carried on a
litter and toasted with chicha (a fermented drink). With
an the appropriate finale the Inca gives a speech
expressed in the original, Quechua language. Afternoon
transfer to the Hotel and overnight. (B, Box Lunch).
