Journey into the heart of Peru’s rich Inca heritage as you explore colourful markets and an imposing fortress on this tour.

The charming marketplace of Pisac is a veritable treasure trove of exquisite Peruvian handicrafts. Capture the essence of the indigenous people as you walk amongst friendly Indians who come to sell their wares in the time-honoured way. Great souvenirs can be picked up here - antiques, weaves, ceramic necklaces, mittens and alpaca sweaters.

Legend and mystery will now capture your imagination as you walk the cobblestone pathways of Ollantaytambo, the ‘infallible’ fortress of the Incas. The Inca terraces and megalithic structures impart a powerful sense of a bygone era. The oldest inhabited town of the Incas, the fortress also served as a temple and ceremonial centre.

From the colourful markets of Pisac to Inca fortresses, Peru’s rich heritage and indigenous culture will make this a tour to remember.
