YOUR LAND TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
SACRED VALLEY
The first tour of many, this one will set the bar high on local colour and
charm. First off, arrive in the beautiful town of Pisac in the Sacred Valley.
Here you can explore the ever-popular Pisac Market where one part
draws in villagers from far and wide to barter and sell their products, and
in another part you can buy a range of gorgeous Peruvian handicrafts.
After lunch in a local restaurant, travel north, crossing the plateau and
descend into Urubamba before arriving in Ollantaytambo. Whilst here,
visit a local house in the town that’s often called the “last living Inca
Village of Peru". Experience the unique way of life in the Sacred Valley
and then enjoy a stop at the imposing Ollantaytambo fortress to learn
about how the Spaniards lost a battle to the Inca’s in this spot.
Breakfast & lunch included

sacred Sun Dial and even the burial grounds.
You’ll have some time at leisure here to take in the breathtaking sights at

Your tour starts on the Argentinian side of the falls as you take the scenic
highway up the Argentinian Iguassu National Park. Start in the visitors
centre where you'll join a gas-propelled train which takes you to the
upper falls circuit and the Devil’s Throat – the most famous and one of
the highest falls. From here, walk along the Iguassu river canyon along
both the upper and lower circuit, marvelling at your surroundings as you
go, and feeling the immense power of the falls at every moment.
You’ll then travel by road across the National Park and into the Brazilian
side of the falls. Walk along the paths that follow the cascades and even

Throat. From your spot here, you’ll be able to enjoy panoramic views of
the Argentinian falls including the Two Sisters, Bozzetti, Superior Circuit
and San Martin Island.
