Day 1
The Incas' Sacred Valley
The Sacred Valley of the Incas was a very important place within the Inca civilization, its development in agriculture was one of the base pillars of this culture, the towns that exist today maintain this tradition over the years. This experience allows us to know:
  • Pisac: Its name refers to the partridge and is related to the shape of the Archaeological Center. This contains different sectors such as the Andenería Area where we can see that they fulfilled the function of Agriculture and at the same time of support since this was built in the upper area of ​​the mountain, another sector is the Urban where there are enclosures of the people who do it. inhabited, we also find the largest recorded Inca cemetery and a religious area where we can find the Intihuatana, where the ceremonies related to the Sun god were held. With the arrival of the Spanish there was a change of location that is why its current town It is located at the base of the mountain where we can still find records of colonial history that are still alive. Most of the houses and their Temple were built with stones from the Archaeological Center. This town keeps alive the tradition of ceramics with its artisans and agriculture with its extensive plains of crops.
  • Ollantaytambo: A wonderful place that involves great history and mystery at the same time. During the time of the Incas this was a control that was located in the Sacred Valley for visitors from other parts of the Tawantinsuyo who entered through this sector. For the most part, we can denote that the archaeological center is made up of terraces that fulfilled the ornamental function and at the same time of support since, like Pisac, its enclosures are located in the upper part of the mountain. Its construction was based on the Cachicata quarry that is located in front of the Archaeological Center. A mystery that is had of this beautiful place is the means that was used for the transportation of the immense stones that exist since their weight varies between 20 and 40 tons of weight, also considering that between the quarry and the town is located the Urubamba River which increases the difficulty of this transfer. It also has Crop sectors where the tradition of Agriculture is still maintained today.
  • Chinchero: The textile industry was another of the main bases within the Inca civilization and that is why the town of Chinchero stands out since its tradition with the handling of Alpaca wool from its obtaining, washing, dyeing of colors and spinning continues to be maintained from generation to generation. This town also has its history throughout the years since initially the 10th Inca, Tupac Yupanqui, arranged his palace to live in this place, over the years and after the arrival of the Spanish on this site the Temple was built to the Virgin of Monserrat and in viceregal times this was also the place of residence of Mateo Pumacahua who played a very important role in the rebellion of Túpac Amaru II and the rebellion of the Angulo Brothers. Today this picturesque town has much to show the world with its beautiful Temple that has paintings by famous Cusco artists such as Diego Quispe Tito and Francisco Chihuantito, we will also find the large number of terraces and a large esplanade that finely adorn its surroundings.
