WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Visit and explore the Inca citadel of Pisac. The construction of Pisac was carried out during the government of Emperor Pachacutec in the fifteenth century, during a time of vertiginous territorial expansion. In the 16th century, after the arrival of the Spanish in Cusco, Pisac was invaded and its inhabitants fled. Its main monuments were damaged. The Inca cemetery was destroyed and looted. With the Toledo reforms (between 1532 and 1600), Pisac became a reduction of Indians. With the passing of time, the town was established on the slopes of the mountain where the Inca archaeological site is located. Today, Pisac is one of the most famous tourist attractions in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The Inca archaeological site preserves many of its original structures in a good state of preservation

Urquillos, one of the most beautiful towns in the Cusco sacred valley. Here, together with a local family and your guide you will learn how to use Andean tools to cultivate potatoes, corn, onions, cabbage, etc. You will also harvest seasonal fruits and veggies of the valley and cut alfalfa to feed guinea pigs who lives in the kitchen of the families. Also you will learn the process of the preparation of Chicha, the most typical organic beer of the Andes. Then with the harvest veggies you will cook a delicious Andean barbecue called Pachamanca. Nothing more symbolic than cooking what the land gives us, in the land itself (Pachamanca translates as: pot of earth or food from the land). The Pachamanca is, therefore, payment and offering to mother earth (Pachamama). Therefore, it is abundant and generous, because it is shared in community. And of course, it is executed differently according to regional customs.
3.
Ollantaytambo is the only Inca town that is still inhabited. Its stone streets preserve the Inca architecture combined with temples and colonial squares. It is presumed that it was the Inca Pachacutec (1438-1471) who ordered the construction of Ollantaytambo. Today, this picturesque town is an obligatory route for tourists who visit Machu Picchu. Ollantaytambo is known as the 'Living Inca City'. Its inhabitants maintain some of the traditions inherited by their Inca ancestors. Its main tourist attraction is the archaeological site, located next to the town.
4.
In the textile center of Chinchero where you will learn about Alpaca wool washing. For correct dyeing, ammonia and natural alkaline modifiers are used, for effective degreasing and bleaching of sheep or alpaca wool. Saqta is known locally as Inca Shampoo, which is a natural and ecological detergent. The etching process. To ensure the fixation of the dyeing, natural products are used that contain alumina and potash sulfates, which not only have the function of fixing, but also influence the intensity of the colors. The action of dyeing. It uses leaves, seeds, flowers and roots of various plants, usually wild, as well as cochineal (beetles that live on cacti). The already dyed skein of wool is washed until the water is very clear, then it is left to dry in the shade. The Pusca, is a spinning wheel to spin the wool only with the fingers. And finally the fabric is made with the loom, where the colors and graphics that it will wear will be designed
