Perched high above the Sacred Valley at 12,000 feet and renowned for its skilled women weavers, Chinchero promises a captivating morning!

After the demonstration, we will have a private shopping opportunity to buy from the women weavers.
Moray

Machu Picchu
After our night in Aguas Calientes, we will dedicate the next day to exploring the renowned Machu Picchu, guided by our Peruvian expert. Delve into the central ruins (Wonder of the World OR archeological site) which encompasses a ceremonial center, a sun-dial, operational water channels, and remarkable stonework, all harmoniously integrated with the surrounding high jungle mountains.
