Sacred Valley Full Day Tour – Itinerary

This Sacred Valley Tour starts at 8:00 am with a pickup from your hotel in Cusco. We will travel through the highlands around Cusco on our way to the Sacred Valley.

Alpaca Farm: The first stop is at Awanacancha farm, where you will get to know the famous South American camelids: llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and guanacos, as well as learn about their differences, importance, and habits. From here, we’ll reach Mirador Taray, an observation platform where you’ll witness the Sacred Valley’s breathtaking vistas, including the Urubamba River and the farming lands in the Peruvian Andes.

Pisac Archeological Site: The next stop is at the archaeological site of Pisac, an Inca village built on top of the mountain. This extraordinary place boasts a complex of impressive temples, houses, and hundreds of tombs enclosed by gigantic walls. There are also agricultural terraces you can explore.

Pisac Market: After visiting the site, we’ll make our way to Pisac town and check out the handicraft market. This is a popular place for local craftspeople who manufacture their goods and sell them directly to tourists. From here, it’ll be just 1 hour to Urubamba, where you’ll enjoy a meal at a local restaurant. The restaurant offers a buffet-style meal with several options and fresh ingredients sourced from the area.

Ollantaytambo: After lunch, we’ll drive to the lovely village of Ollantaytambo, known as the “Last Living Inca City.” The town still has its original Inca streets, which the locals still use today. While exploring the village, you will have the chance to see the well-guarded Inca citadel constructed to defend the Inca people from potential attackers. Ollantaytambo also serves as the gateway to Machu Picchu.

Chinchero: The last place to visit is Chinchero, a royal estate and ceremonial center during the Inca Empire. It is said to have been a favorite of the 10th Inca King, Tupac Inca Yupanqui. During your visit, you will explore an Inca Palace, visit its colonial church, and learn about the local artisan’s renowned weaving techniques and natural dyes.
