Following this we pay a quick visit to a guinea pig farm as well as a chance to sample traditional empanadas hot from the oven. We then continue on to a guided tour of the Pisac ruins and take in the views of lush green valleys, mountain peaks and farming terraces from this Incan hilltop citadel. Next we stop for lunch in the Urubamba city restaurant, which is set within the beautiful surroundings of the valley. A multi-course menu allowing us to sample a variety of tasty traditional Peruvian dishes and drinks including purple chicha morada and traditional coca tea is on offer.
