Our
non-trekking, "Soft Adventure", is designed to maximize
excitement with limited vacation time. In Cusco, the heart of
the Inca Empire, you will explore lovely cobblestone streets,
the impressive Saqsayhuaman Fortress, the mysterious carved rock
shrine of Kenko and the delightful Inca Baths at Tambomachay.
Later on, in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, by the Urubamba
River, you'll visit the native market at Pisac and the town
ceremonial site of Ollantaytambo, the only Inca village that has
been continuously inhabited until our time.
