You will also visit Casa Solariega de Aliaga, a superbly preserved colonial mansion that has been occupied by 16 generations of the same family since 1535.

Upon arrival , transfer to your hotel in the Sacred Valley, Peru for your two night stay. The Sacred Valley of the Incas is the perfect place to explore, relax and unwind either before or after your visit to Machu Picchu. An area of outstanding natural beauty set against a backdrop of the Andes mountains, the fertile Urubamba Valley is surrounded by towering snow-capped peaks and is home to some first-class hotels, many renowned for their spas. For the more actively minded the region is full of sites of great cultural and historical interest such as traditional villages, indigenous markets, and Inca sites, making it ideal for a longer stay.

Gateway to the Sacred Valley, the town of Pisac was of supreme importance in Inca times. It was the site of one of the most important fortresses built to guard the capital of the empire, and the archaeological site, at the top of a hill, features splendid Inca walls, a few towers and a sundial. The town of Pisac today is a sleepy hamlet of brown adobe buildings with faded red tiled roofs and narrow cobblestone streets. A mixture of Inca and colonial influences, parts of the town date from the colonial era and, in the church, Mass is still said in Quechua. Every day, the town has a market in the main square and this is renowned for its colour and vibrance. People from the local villages, many of them in traditional dress, travel to the town and the many wares on offer include food items, handicrafts, ponchos and rugs.

The tour continues to Ollantaytambo, a small town built around a superbly preserved Inca fortress. The fortress guarded the entrance to this part of the valley and protected it from possible invasion from the lower jungles. The central part of the ruins is the Intihuatana group of temples and rock outcrops, which reveal the most magnificent Inca masonry. The design and foundations of the majority of the buildings in the town also date from the Inca era, when Ollantaytambo was a strategic military, religious and agricultural centre. Wayra Ranch at the Sol y Luna hotel, Urubamba features a large picnic-style seating area with benches, tables, and a brick oven set across a large lawn edged with trees and stables for the famous Peruvian Paso horses. The ranch is named Wayra meaning 'wind', in honour of this distinctive breed of horse, whose unique 'paso llano' gait makes it one of the smoothest and most comfortable riding horses in the world. The ranch offers a delicious buffet lunch with a spectacular Peruvian Paso Horse exhibition, a folklore show and a marvellous musical show using the Cajon, a Peruvian drum instrument. (B,L)

Begin your tour with a visit to Loreto Alley, an impressive part of the old town with its remarkable Inca walls. Continue to the Santo Domingo Monastery which was built in the 17th century on the foundations of the Koricancha Temple of the Sun, using original materials. Excavation is unearthing more of the five chambers of the temple, revealing some of the best Inca stonework to be seen in Cuzco. After this, you will visit the old quarters of San Blas which dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries. Stroll through the many handicraft shops and native art galleries in the small square where many local crafts can be found, such as earthenware, paintings, ceramics, sculptures, wood carvings and textiles. The beautiful colonial church houses an impressive pulpit but is currently still closed for renovations. You will therefore visit the Santa Catalina Monastery instead and see its ornate arcades, murals and chapel with baroque frescoes. Return to Cuzco's old town, passing through Hatunrumiyoc Street with its famous 12-angle stone. The heart of Cuzco, as in Inca days, is the Plaza de Armas. On the northern side of this, a visit will be made to the magnificent cathedral, built in the early 17th century on the site of the Inca Palace of Viracocha. The high altar is made of solid silver and the altar retablo behind it is a masterpiece of native wood carving. In the sacristy are paintings of all the bishops of Cuzco and a painting of Christ attributed to Van Dyck. Much venerated is the crucifix of El Senor de los Temblores, the object of many pilgrimages and viewed all over Peru as a guardian against earthquakes. Lunch will be at the Cicciolina restaurant, located in an historic Cusco mansion. (B,L)
