At the end of the excursion we will return to Cusco.

Pisac: It consists of groups of archaeological remains among which are platforms, aqueducts, roads associated with walls and gates, channeled waterways, cemeteries and bridges.

Ollantaytambo: It was built during the Inca period as a fortified area that includes a temple, terraces and an urban sector. Two sectors can be distinguished: one called "Araqama Ayllu", an area linked to worship and religion; and the second "Qosqo Ayllu", an area dedicated to housing.

Chinchero: In the workshops of the artisan associations, the entire weaving process is exhibited daily, from the washing of the wool to the final product, where one can witness the spinning, dyeing and weaving techniques that are still practiced by the Chinchero people.

Nowadays, the textiles of Chinchero are very well known for their dedication in the elaboration and for maintaining the Inca textile tradition as a base, mainly for their well known "LORAYPO" weaving.
