Morning light slides across high stone terraces as the van leaves Cusco and the Sacred Valley opens like a living map—terraced slopes, the Urubamba river cutting a green ribbon, and markets stacked with woven textiles. Day one moves through Pisac’s market and archaeological terraces, then pauses for a buffet in Urubamba before exploring Ollantaytambo’s living Inca fortress.
