The route

What the experience is like

The most complete tour of the Inca Sacred Valley in a single day. We visit the five essential places —Chinchero, Moray, the Maras Salt Mines, Ollantaytambo and Pisac— with a local guide who tells you the living history of each town, in a small group and with a New Andean buffet lunch in Urubamba.

Ideal for your first days in Cusco: the altitude is lower than in the city and the hikes are short, so you acclimatize while enjoying the valley.

Chinchero, Moray, Maras, Ollantaytambo and Pisac.

Buffet lunch

New Andean cuisine in Urubamba.

Living culture

Chinchero weavers and Pisac market.

To acclimatize

Frequently asked questions

Before you go

Is the tourist ticket included?

No. For Chinchero, Moray, Ollantaytambo and Pisac you need the tourist ticket (partial Valley ticket S/ 70 or full S/ 130), bought on the way or in advance. The entrance to the Maras Salt Mines (S/ 20) is also paid separately. We help you buy them.

Is it a demanding tour?

No. They are short walks over terraces and steps, at lower altitude than Cusco. It is suitable for families and a great way to acclimatize before a trek.

Can I finish in Ollantaytambo to go to Machu Picchu?

Yes. If you have a train to Aguas Calientes, we drop you at the Ollantaytambo station. Or choose our 2-day Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley tour, which already includes everything.
