Sacred Valley Tour

The Sacred Valley follows the Urubamba river from the market town of Pisac, through the agricultural terraces that were once the engine room of the Inca empire and finishes at Ollantaytambo, an almost untouched Inca town, with an imposing temple looming over the valley.

The day starts with a walk through the Pisac markets. The town is swathed in white tarpaulins three days a week, under them stall holders compete to sell traditional artworks and textiles, huge wood fired ovens bake empanadas and guinea pigs, and the central plaza is filled with women selling fresh produce, with dozens of potato and corn varieties on show.

On the ridge above, the ruined fortress of Inca Pisac protects the southern end of the Sacred Valley while the Temple of the Sun shows the precision stonework Inca architects reserved for their most important religious buildings.

The road through the valley passes through the small towns of Coya, Lamay and Calca, and the larger center of Urubamba, surrounded on all sides by the astonishing andenes the agricultural terraces that fueled the Inca Empire, and gave the Andes mountain range its name.
The town Ollantaytambo gives an insight into the Inca way of life, with streets, houses and watercourses that survived the Spanish conquest.

The imposing ridge leading up to the stunning views from the Temple of the Sun is a string of gigantic terraces, a fortress strong enough to repel the Spanish. The unfinished temple at the top leaves you wondering how the Incas managed to move enormous rocks around the valley and up its ridges to shape them into precision stone walls by hand.

July 20, 2009 - 8:32 pm No Comments

http://www.fertur-travel.com/inca_rebellion_archaeological_tour.html

Puruchuco is located in the modern city of Lima, but it was constructed by the Incas between 1450 and 1532. Everything that happened here was marked in a ceremonial calendar, part of a building dedicated to religious activities.

The architects who designed Purchucos divided it into four sectors: A, B, C and D.
Sector A is linked to everything concerned with the outside world. It was here that inhabitants performed all their public activities.

Sector B served as the living area for permanent residents of Purchuco. Here youll find a kitchen and other quarters for the private daily life of townspeople.

Sector C is the compounds sacred area, where religious ceremonies took place. The. beauty of the architecture in this area reflects its ceremonial function. And last of all, Sector D is organized around a small patio and terrace.

This area was the destination for perishable products that were then prepared for storage. Fertur Peru Travel. A full service travel agency and tour operator dedicated to making your journey to Peru a dream come true.

Iquitos Tours - Nanay River in Iquitos

June 27, 2009 - 8:24 pm No Comments

http://www.fertur-travel.com/iquitos_tours.html

The Nanay River joins the Amazon on its left bank…
…between the Tigre and Napo Rivers.

The Nanay is one of three rivers that surround the jungle city of Iquitos, turning it into an island.
When the river drops, several beaches form on the banks of the Nanay. Theyre very popular destinations for visitors from Iquitos.

The rivers lowland environment creates a tortuous, meandering waterway
its slow course breaks up into thousands of small channels, creating a string of islands and lagoons that are all submerged during the wet season.
