Community based tourism - Day trip from Cusco

1

Day One: See Inca traditions upheld in the work of the Amaru community

Your day will start after breakfast as you’re collected from your accomodation in Cusco. Private transport will take you through the initial hills of the Sacred Valley to Pisac, a charming traditional town nestled in the depths of green, sloping mountains. Though Machu Picchu is the most famous of the Inca ruins, it is vital to consider all traces of the vast empire in order to concieve its importance. In light of this your first stop will be the ruins at Pisac. Believed to guard the southern entrance to the Sacred Valley, climbing to the terraced ruins will offer a fascinating introduction to the motives and craftwork behind what was once the world’s largest empire. Learn how the sun and natural elements informed the lifestyles of the Incas, before meeting some of its surviving descendents. The Amaru community- a 45 minute drive from Pisac- are made up of less than 200 families. Holding Quechua as their mother tongue and main language, these noble people have kept traditions past down by their ancestors as crucial to their way of life. You will learn from them the process of weaving and textiles, seeing how thread and dye is made directly from the land around them, before sharing perhaps the most organic lunch you will have tasted in your life. After eating you will bid farewell to the heirs of the Inca Empire and continue on through the Sacred Valley to the town of Ollantaytambo, where you’ll be boarding a train toward Aguas Calientes. This two hour ride begins in the Andean highlands, journeying through a changing landscape where you will end in the jungle environment that surrounds Machu Picchu. You’ll be spending a night here, resting in a 3* hotel before witnessing the most famous remnant of the Inca Empire early the next day. Inclusions :

Private transport
Visit Pisac Inca ruins
Tourist ticket
Lunch with local community
English - Quechua speaking guide

Day Two:Exploring the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu an over view above the lost city

Having previously discussed your arrival time with your guide, you will be collected from your hotel for a day of discovery. Taking the bus up to the site, feel the excitement rising as you consider the thoughts of Hiram Bingham, the explorer who first made public what is now one of the new Seven Wonders of the world. On arrival your guide will take you on a full immersion, two and a half hour private tour. Take in every inch of what surrounds you, from the low hanging clouds that make this ancient site even more ethereal to the local llamas who call this place home. After learning about the significance of the citadel’s remains on your tour, you’ll be able to fully lose yourself, wandering around at your own pace. Contemplate your surroundings. The weight of your recent experiences, from visiting to Pisac to meeting the Amaru community will no doubt make your visit to Machu Picchu an entirely unique experience. In the afternoon you’ll take the train back to Ollantaytambo. Private transport will be waiting to take you back to Cusco, where you’re sure to return with an entirely new perspective on Peru.
