Full DaySacred Valley Tour
Embark on a remarkable journey with the Full Day Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco, where we will uncover the mesmerising beauty and rich history of the Sacred Valley. Our adventure begins early in the morning, as we depart from Cusco and head towards our first destination, Chinchero.
In Chinchero, renowned for its intricate textile art and fascinating terraces, we will immerse ourselves in the local culture. We’ll witness the expertise of the weavers and learn about their traditional techniques. This visit provides a unique insight into the living heritage of the Andean communities.
Next, we’ll make our way to the intriguing Maras Salt Mines. Here, we’ll explore the patchwork of salt pans that have been in use since Incan times. The sight of these sunlit, shimmering pools against the green of the mountains is a photographer’s dream.
Our journey continues to the archaeological wonder of Moray. We will marvel at the circular terraces believed to have been an agricultural experiment for the Incas. The ingenious design of Moray offers a glimpse into the advanced understanding the Incas had of their environment.
Following Moray, our route leads us to the heart of the Sacred Valley, Urubamba. We will take a pause here for a delightful buffet lunch. You’ll have the chance to savour local Peruvian cuisine, a mix of traditional and contemporary flavours.
Refuelled and refreshed, we head to the iconic town of Ollantaytambo. Its massive fortress stands as a formidable reminder of the ancient Incan civilisation. We’ll climb the terraces, enjoying spectacular views and learning about the strategic significance of this site.
Our final stop will be at the picturesque town of Pisac. Famous for its colourful market and impressive archaeological site, Pisac offers a perfect blend of culture, history, and natural beauty.
