Sacred Valley Tour
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.

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.
