Cusco to Ollantaytambo Tour is a customizable guided car trip of key sites rich in Incan history like Chinchero, Pisaq, Moray, Maras and Ollantaytambo.
The Sacred Valley is a region that forms a direct path between the Altiplano and the Amazonian region, that is to say, between the different worlds of the Andean cosmos; this is why the area has unique historical importance.
It is also a circuit of villages and numerous rivers with stunning landscapes and a mystic past, but most of its history is still unknown. The Cusco region where the Incas constructed their empire is only a section of the Sacred Valley or Valle Sagrado.
