History: The Inca Trail is one of the remaining trails to Machu Picchu and was not used to transport products or people or animals, its purpose was religious, because along the way were built many religious complexes that served to venerate the mountains that were sacred in the time of the Incas.

This is a fantastic hike that takes you well off the tourist trails as you leave the Sacred Valley of the Incas and continue into the next valley, the Lares Valley. Crossing these mountains you can enjoy spectacular Andean scenery, including lakes and wildlife, as well as visiting traditional Andean villages. Many of these people still dress in typical clothing and can be seen far off in the distance in their red and black clothing as they tend their sheep or llamas. With this itinerary you have the option of returning to Cusco at the end of day four or continuing on to Machu Picchu to visit this famous Inca city.

This place was dedicated to the carving and extraction of the stones that were used for the construction of Ollantaytambo and many surrounding enclosures. This place is located nine kilometers from the Inca town of Ollantaytambo and has three groups of quarries: Molle Pucro, Sirkusirkuyoc (was the largest of the three), shows evidence of having been in full operation when the Spanish entered this area. And finally Kantirayoq or Cacchicata, where another type of extraction of minerals and precious stones was practiced. The visitor will be able to observe the great work done at the time of moving the gigantic stones to build the enclosures of Ollantaytambo. We can find the so-called "Tired Stones" that remained during the journey to Ollantaytambo and in some parts of the town.
