Day 8
Today you’ll put everything you’ve learned about the Incas into practice at a fascinating Inca workshop!
You’ll recall the moral code of the Incas “Ama sua, ama llulla, ama quella”, which translates into “Do not steal, do not lie, do not be lazy”! With this in mind, you’ll roll up your sleeves and get to work: You’ll try your hand at quipu knotting and learn about the intricate knot writing system used by the Incas to do their accounting. And then you’ll get down to business: compacting earth, shaping adobe bricks and lining them up to dry. Sharing a laugh with the locals is just as much a part of this authentic experience as enjoying a beer or two.
After a leisurely stroll through historic Pisac, it’s time to leave the Peruvian countryside and head back to Cusco - ready for the next chapter of your adventure.
Meals Included: Breakfast
Accommodation: Anahuarque Boutique Hotel, Cusco
Day 9

You’ll wander from Coricancha – the Temple of the Sun – between Inca walls to the grand Plaza de Armas and the monumental Cusco Cathedral. There you’ll see works typical of the famous Escuela Cusquena, which blends European painting styles with indigenous motifs: In one depiction of the Last Supper, you’ll see the Apostles eating guinea pig and drinking chicha! The rest of the day is yours to explore Cusco at your own pace.

Afterwards, your coach will roll through lonely high mountain landscapes, with only a few scattered villages here and there where the local women sell Andean cheese by the roadside.
