The 3-day Inca History tour was absolutely incredible!
From the moment we began in the Sacred Valley to the awe-inspiring end at Machu Picchu, every part of this trip was magical. Our guide, Mario, was extremely knowledgeable about the Inca civilization. He shared fascinating details about the ruins we visited, such as Ollantaytambo and Pisac, bringing the ancient culture to life.
One of the highlights for me was walking through the agricultural terraces of Moray. I could feel the history beneath my feet and imagine how the Inca people used this site for farming. The views of the Andes Mountains were breathtaking, and we had plenty of time to take pictures and soak in the scenery.
The itinerary was well-planned, giving us a mix of structured tours and free time to explore. Transportation was smooth, and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. A big plus was the chance to interact with local artisans and learn about traditional weaving techniques. It added an authentic cultural touch.
For anyone considering this tour, I highly recommend bringing a camera, comfortable walking shoes, and an open mind to fully absorb the beauty and history. This trip is more than a tour—it’s a journey into the heart of Inca heritage.
