Description
Embark on this full-day tour covering the main attractions in the Sacred Valley, offering a great opportunity to explore when time and budget are limited. The Sacred Valley is a beautiful stretch of small villages with ancient ruins spread across a broad plain and rugged mountain slopes near Cusco. The valley held significant value to the Incas for its geographical and climatic qualities, particularly for maize production. During this tour, you will discover the Pisaq Inca ruins, Ollantaytambo Inca Ruins, the Inca agricultural experimentation site of Moray, and the famous pink salt mines of Maras.

Sacred Valley Tour
- This tour can start in different locations such as Cusco, Urubamba, Ollantayatmbo, and Yucay (the last 3 in the Sacred Valley).
- I will meet you at hotel at 7 am to start your tour with about a 1-hour ride to the Pisaq ( from Cusco) (1.5 from the most of Sacred valley hotels) archaeological complex, a beautiful Inca site with its Temple of the Sun, ancient Inca cemetery, terraces, water fountains, great architecture, and an amazing view of the Sacred Valley.
- Then we move on to the Ollantaytambo archaeological complex for about a 1.5-hour detailed tour of the Temple of Water, the Temple of the Sun, the Bath of the Inca Princess, agricultural terraces, etc.
- Ollantaytambo is also known for being an Incan living town, so we will be able to take a short walking tour through the streets to experience the architecture of this old town.
- Then we will move towards the amazing pre-Hispanic salt mines of Maras to experience the history of the largest salt mines in the Andes. The last archaeological attraction will be the ancient agricultural place of the Inca Moray, located on the small plateau of Maras.
Note: Because it is a full-day tour you may want to stop for lunch, and that's ok. I can take you to any place you may have in mind or recommend you a great food place.
