- Chinchero, a village known for its weaving, where you learn about old techniques and natural dyes
- Moray, circular terraces that the Incas used to experiment with different microclimates
- Maras Salt Mines, thousands of working salt pools
- Urubamba, for the buffet lunch
- Ollantaytambo, an Inca fortress and a living town with its original architecture
- Pisac, with its Inca terraces and artisan market
Photo stops are built into the route. Travellers heading to Machu Picchu can choose to finish in Ollantaytambo in the afternoon and take the train to Aguas Calientes; everyone else rides back to the Plaza de Armas in Cusco in the evening. The guide speaks English and Spanish. Tips and the tourist ticket and the salt mines ticket are paid separately.
