Breakfast. You will be picked up at 8:15 am. 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)
Note: Take this tour on market days: Tuesday, Thursday
and Sunday // Bilingual Guided tour on different days
DAY 5: JUNE/24 INTI RAYMI (MONDAY)
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).
