After breakfast, you will be picked up from your Cusco hotel and drive through the South Valley. Along the way, you will stop in the town of Oropesa to visit a local bakery.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
