Itinerary
The Sacred Valley Tour begins with pick-up from your hotel in Cusco’s historic center or from a previously coordinated meeting point. From there, we will travel in tourist transportation toward one of the most beautiful and important routes in the Peruvian Andes, surrounded by mountains, farmland, traditional villages and landscapes connected to the ancient Inca world.
Along the way, we will make scenic stops to appreciate the views of the Sacred Valley and learn more about its historical, agricultural and cultural importance. Our first main visit will be the archaeological complex of Pisac, an impressive Inca site known for its agricultural terraces, ceremonial areas and panoramic views of the valley. After exploring the archaeological site, we will continue to the town of Pisac, where you may find traditional handicrafts, textiles, ceramics, jewelry and souvenirs made by local artisans.
Later, we will continue to Urubamba, located in the heart of the Sacred Valley, where we will enjoy a buffet lunch with flavors of Peruvian and Andean cuisine. After lunch, the tour continues to Ollantaytambo, one of the most important archaeological complexes in the valley. Its terraces, stone walls and ancient constructions show the architectural knowledge and organization of the Inca civilization. This town also preserves streets, canals and structures that keep the essence of Inca urban planning alive.
Finally, we will visit Chinchero, a traditional Andean village known for its textile heritage, beautiful landscapes and connection with local communities. Here, you will learn about ancestral weaving techniques, the use of natural dyes and the cultural value of textiles in Andean life. At the end of the experience, we will return to Cusco with a deeper understanding of the history, culture and beauty of the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
