DAY 1:Sacred Valley of the Incas:

Our day start by taking in some amazing city views from underneath the iconic white statue of Christ overlooking Cusco.

Here we learn from the local women all about their traditions, weaving techniques and in particular how they get the various coloured dyes from natural sources. In our free time we meet some of the youngest (and cutest!) members of the village community, feed some llamas and have the option of some retail therapy with many handmade textile products on offer.

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. We continue on to a guided tour of Ollantaytambo where we explore the local ruins.before arriving at our accommodation for the night.
