What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Pisac Market, Central Plaza Centro, Pisac 08105 Peru
Travel back in time to the Sacred Valley of the Incas with a day that begins in Pisac. This native town was once where “exchange transactions” took place.
In this type of transaction, customers would exchange one good for another instead of using currency.
Visit the market of Pisac where you can purchase beautifully crafted products hand-made by the locals.
On Sunday, the main attraction is a mass celebrated in Quechua and conducted in Spanish. It is attended by the mayors and their attendants who play traditional musical instruments called "pututos."
Afterwards, you'll enjoy a typical Peruvian lunch (included in price) before visiting the fortress of Ollantaytambo and its main attraction, the Temple of the Sun. Built using massive stones, each one approximately 12 feet (3.5m) tall, this temple was used as a fortress during the time of the Incan civil war.

I had an enjoyable time on this tour. It lasted from about 8:30 to 5:30. The tour arrived right on time. Started with a lookout on the Sacred Valley for pics then off to the Pisac Market. The guide took us to a store where the owner explained the differences between the different alpaca textiles. After, we went to another store that explained silver jewelry. We were allowed about an hour to explore and shop then it was off to Ollantaytambo. Ollantaytambo was was amazing. Our guide provided the history and places of interest there. Be warned, the steps are harder than they look lol. The top has amazing views. We were given about half an hour to an hour to explore then it was off to a buffet lunch at a nice hotel. The food was pretty good but if you are suffering from altitude sickness, you might not be hungry. Take some tea or medicine. After lunch, we went to an alpaca farm where we were shown how alpaca textiles were made and dyed. Pretty awesome place to take a selfie with a llama or alpaca as well as buy souvenirs. Then we went back to Cusco. All in all it’s a fun time for sightseeing and shopping. Have fun!Two first stops were for sales. Shop and a big market in Pisac. A tour guide just left us for an hour to walk around. The time was wasted. The lunch was very good. I wish there were more history and information about the country from the guide.

Two first stops were for sales. Shop and a big market in Pisac. A tour guide just left us for an hour to walk around. The time was wasted. The lunch was very good. I wish there were more history and information about the country from the guide. The only thing that was worth visiting is Fortress of Ollantaytambo. Please consider the possibility to include Pisac ruins in this day trip as well.Nice day, great baby alpaca shopping ! Tour guide was great. Ollaytambo was an incredible sight. So unbelievable to see what the incas managed to build. Seeing is believing. Good climb, well worth it !
