Begin the tour to the Pisac market. The market features various shops that display and sell products crafted by local residents. You can find textiles, carvings, and replicas of ancient Inca artifacts. Next, head to the designated restaurant for lunch, followed by a visit to Ollantaytambo Park. The town of Ollantaytambo is a classic example of Inca urban planning that remains intact to this day. Pachacútec (1438–1471) conquered the town, destroyed it, and rebuilt it as part of his empire; today, it is considered one of the most important archaeological complexes of the Inca Empire.

For lunch, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious pachamanca, a traditional Inca dish cooked in hot rocks underground—the name means “earth oven” in Quechua. Begin this experience by helping to prepare the pachamanca and learning about its rich history and culture. The menu includes chicken, pork, and lamb, accompanied by Andean potatoes, sweet potatoes, organic vegetables, homemade salad, traditional sauces, and chicha morada. This activity lasts 2 hours.
