Sacred Valley One Day Tour
Description:
Explore the mysteries and traditions of Inca history amidst beautiful natural landscapes, Inca terraces, and villages that keep the Andean culture alive.
The Sacred Valley, a natural treasure frozen in time during the Inca era, is protected by sacred mountains and nourished by the Urubamba River, which bathes and shapes its fertile lands along the way.
Located at an altitude of 2,800 meters, the valley is renowned for its excellent climate and unique geographical features. It is considered the gateway to the enigmatic Machu Picchu and the Amazon rainforest.
Full Day
Our excursion begins with pick-up from your accommodation between 8:00 to 8:30 am in the city of Cusco. We will then head northwest in our tourist transportation, passing through picturesque towns until we reach the Taray viewpoint. From there, we will have a preliminary view of the entire Sacred Valley. The places we will visit on our tour are as follows:
- Pisaq: We will explore the impressive Inca terraces that line the mountains, defying gravity with their location. Afterwards, we will descend to the town of Pisaq to visit its artisan market.
- Ollantaytambo: We will continue our journey towards Ollantaytambo, making a stop in the town of Urubamba where we will enjoy lunch. Ollantaytambo is an ancient resting place and is known as “The Living Inca City” as it still preserves original Inca houses and streets.
