Itinerary

Our experience through the Sacred Valley begins with pickup from your hotel in Cusco. Our first stop will be Pisac, a place known for its impressive agricultural terraces built on the mountainsides, offering spectacular views of the valley. We will then visit its colorful handicraft market, where local people offer textiles, ceramics, and jewelry made with ancestral techniques, ideal for an authentic souvenir. We will continue toward Urubamba, considered the heart of the valley, where you will enjoy a delicious Andean lunch.

Afterward, we will visit Ollantaytambo, an archaeological complex famous for its majestic fortress, its sacred monolith, and its town that still preserves the original streets and dwellings from ancient times.

On the return to Cusco, we will take an alternative route to visit Chinchero, recognized for its traditional textiles. Here you will enjoy a cultural demonstration of the art of weaving and natural dyeing, in addition to seeing its colonial church built over ancient Inca constructions.

Faqs

The tour begins with pickup from your hotel in Cusco. We will visit Pisac and its impressive archaeological site, followed by its artisan market. We then head to Urubamba for a delicious Andean lunch. In the afternoon, we explore the fortress of Ollantaytambo, and on the return, we visit Chinchero, known for its traditional textile center and colonial church built atop Inca structures.

The tour starts between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. (depending on whether you choose a group or private service) and finishes approximately between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m., subject to traffic and the pace of the group.

Yes, it is. This is an ideal excursion for families, children, and seniors, as it does not require strenuous hiking, and the sites are visited at a comfortable pace.

No. In fact, it is the best way to start your acclimatization. The Sacred Valley is at a lower altitude (between 2,000 and 3,000 m.a.s.l.) than Cusco City (3,399 m.a.s.l.). For this reason, we strongly recommend taking this tour during your first days in the region. This allows your body to adapt gently to the altitude before exploring higher destinations.

The walks are short. At archaeological sites like Pisac and Ollantaytambo, you will need to climb some stairs and navigate uneven surfaces, which is why we recommend wearing comfortable shoes with good traction.
