Our full day Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco is a popular day trip, just as to Rainbow Mountain or Humantay Lake. This is the best tour to start with on your trip to Cusco before visiting Machu Picchu.
As the name suggests, the valley was sacred to Incas. It was here that they carried out most of their farming work. Having mentioned that, Sacred Valley generated the prime income to Incas, some sites in the valley still continue to.
This full day tour from the city of Cusco takes you to the prime sites of Sacred Valley of the Incas. Accompanied by our local English speaking professional guide, you will be visiting archaeological sites like Chinchero, Ollantaytambo and Pisac.
The tour offers an insight to Inca history. You will be visiting some of the prominent Inca ruins and agricultural terraces.
To offer you the most, we will be serving a typical Peruvian buffet lunch at a local restaurant in Urubamba.

We will be picking you up from your hotel in Cusco. Then in our private transport, we will be driving you for 45 minutes to Chinchero. It is a beautiful village where locals are known for handicrafts. Here our local expert will be giving you an insight to their life and culture.
Chinchero is also home to some Incan farm lands which have been built during the Inca era. It is also home to a beautiful colonial white washed church. It was built by Spanish conquistadors demolishing the Incan royal palace.
We will then be driving you to Ollantaytambo. This beautiful village has been important since Incan civilization. This was once an administrative capital to them. The narrow cobblestone streets of Ollantaytambo is a testament to the advancement of Incas architecture and town planning.
Ollantaytambo is also home to two Inca ruins.
After touring Ollantaytambo village and ruins, we will be driving to Urubamba for lunch.
Our last stop on the Sacred Valley tour will be at Pisac. This beautiful village is home to a traditional local market and Inca ruins. The archaeological site of Pisac is massive and is just second to Machu Picchu.
After touring the archaeological complex and market, we will return to Cusco.
Found this tour to be informative and fun. Learnt a lot about Incan ways of life and their invention. The guide was a native a person born and raised in the region and had plenty of knowledge about the place and culture and he also spoke good English
We took the tour early February, mother-daughter trip.
Pick up was right on time and at the hotel, very easy to communicate with the tour company. Walter was our tour guide, Elvis the driver – very safe driver.
We had an amazing tour, the tour guide is very knowledgable and answered all our questions. Beautiful and very interesting stops (except the jewelry store in Pisac… tourist trap). When we had to climb or do physical effort, the guide gave us enough time and always waited for the group.
Very comfy bus.
We had a wonderful time, we totally recommend to visit and use this tour company!!
This was a very good tour and a nice orirnetation to Incas way of living and culture. The guide was a local from the region of Sacred Valley and was a fountain of knowledge. Apart from just sight seeing they also did offer a good orientation and understanding of their lifestyle and beliefs.
