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

DAY 5:
JUNE/24
INTI
RAYMI
(SUNDAY)
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
