You will then continue to the archaeological complex of Pisac. Your guide will introduce you to its agricultural terraces, ceremonial areas, Inca structures and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Sacred Valley.
A buffet lunch is included during the excursion. After completing the visits, you will be transferred to your selected hotel in the Sacred Valley, where you can relax and prepare for the following day's journey to Machu Picchu.
