After breakfast, we will be picked up from our hotel in Urubamba to visit the town of Chinchero, a traditional town located high in a plateau from where we will get impressive views of mountain ranges and the valley. The inhabitants of this area preserve the artisan traditions and knowledge inherited from the Incas and display them in their clothes and daily activities. We will marvel at archaeological remains and seventeenth-century buildings. We will then make our way to the Living Museum of Yucay with a stop over at the Raqchi viewpoint. The museum is a centre of Andean traditions, where we will witness how the inhabitants work on textile, adobe, pottery and silverware, recreating ancient Inca techniques. Other residents of the museum include llamas, sheep and alpacas, eager to be fed! Mid afternoon, we will make our way to Ollantaytambo where we will have some free time for lunch before exploring the village. This village is famous for its monolithic granite blocks that had been hauled 500 years ago from the quarries more than 8 km away to become part of an unfinished temple high above the village. The monumental ruins site you'll visit here is definitely the most impressive in the valley. Transfer back to the hotel. Overnight: Tikawasi Valley

We will start exploring Cusco today with a visit to Coricancha, also known as the "Temple of the Sun", which was built by the Inca ruler Pachacuti and, upon the arrival of the Spaniards, became the base for the construction of the Santo Domingo Convent. Here, during the Inca Empire, reverence was surrendered to the sun, and there was even a time when the structure was covered in gold. Next, we will visit the Cathedral, the most imposing monument in the "Plaza de Armas" square. The construction of the cathedral took almost 100 years to complete, beginning in the mid-16th century. Hundreds of stones were extracted and transported from the Sacsayhuaman fortress under the command of the Ecclesiastical Council to use for the construction of the church. After our cultural morning, it is time to for us to experience the world famous local cuisine with a hands on cooking class. You will get to enjoy what you prepared!
