Cusco Sacred Valley Tour or Super Sacred Valley Tour is one of the most preferred full-day trips from Cusco. It takes you to all archeological sites in the Sacred Valley of the Incas including Maras Moray.

This full-day Sacred Valley Tour starts with a visit to the archaeological site in Pisac and continues to different Inca sites in Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, Maras, Moray, and culminates with a visit to the ancient Inca ruins in Chinchero.

This is one of our signature tours. To offer you the best of this full-day experience, we include authentic Peruvian buffet lunch at a local restaurant in Urubamba.

We recommend signing up for the Super Sacred Valley Tour while you acclimate in Cusco as the tour offers the best introduction to Inca civilization. This will be useful on your trip to Machu Picchu.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
We will be picking you up from your hotel in Cusco at 0700 AM. Then in our private transport we will embark on a journey to Pisac. On our way we’ll be having a quick stop at a viewpoint in Taray. It offers a stunning view of the valley below. You will be able to see Urubamba river snaking through the villages in the Sacred Valley of Incas. Pisac is home to one of the massive and a beautiful inca site perched on a hilltop overlooking the village. We will be driving you up the hill to the main entrance of the complex. Here our local expert will be giving you a guided tour of the complex. After touring the complex, we will be driving you down to the main plaza. During weekends, the narrow cobblestone streets here get filled with local people selling their handicrafts.
2.
Once you have had your fill of Pisac, we will be driving you to Urubamba. It is the lowest part in the Sacred Valley of Incas. Here we will be stopping for a buffet lunch at a local restaurant.
3.
After relishing a typical meal, we will be continuing the tour and will be visiting Ollantaytambo. This was the most prominent site during the Inca empire. Here you will be able to witness the advancement of Incas town planning. Ollantaytambo is one of the oldest and continuously inhabited villages of the Inca empire. The village is sandwiched between two Inca ruins. This is also the place from where you will be boarding the train to Machu Picchu and Inca Trail.
4.
After touring Ollantaytambo, we will be visiting Maras and Moray. Both these sites have played a prominent role and continue to do even today. Moray is home to circular agricultural terraces which served as an agricultural laboratory to Incas. Each level has a different temperature. The Incas used this place as an agricultural laboratory to determine the best weather condition needed to grow a crop.
5.
Maras is home to the salt mines. It has been passed down generation after generation. Locals here continue to practice the traditional Solar Evaporation salt farming method. Our local expert will be explaining to you in detail.
6.
Culminating the full day sacred valley tour, we will be visiting Chinchero. It is home to Andean textile. This beautiful and serene village is often overlooked by tourists. It houses a white washed church which was once a royal palace of Incan emperor Pachacutec. Among all sites in Sacred Valley, Chinchero has the most fertile soil. During the Inca civilization, under the leadership of Pachacutec, they built many farming terraces. The water channels here are a testament to the advancement of Inca engineering.
7.
Later in the evening, we will be driving you back to Cusco city. We will be dropping you off at Plaza Regocijo, a block away from Cusco’s main square – Plaza de Armas.

Wonderful and unforgettable trip. The company thought about every detail with great care! The 11-day itinerary was created with our expectations in mind. Comfortable hotels, well located, excellent value for money. Polite, well-prepared drivers, great and kind drivers, as well as comfortable cars. All the tours were just the two of us. Experienced and qualified guides, concerned with our well-being and meeting our expectations, in addition to taking beautiful photos. Peru is beautiful! Culture, breathtaking landscapes, cuisine, adventure, all in one trip! And an agency like Machu Picchu Tours made all the difference, as we are not numbers but people with expectations and dreams! Special thanks to Elaine, John, Luiz and Edgar!

The tour was very well planned and communicated, Charley and Machu Picchu tours and our drivers Alfred, Ferdinand took care of everything - pick up from hotel, a comfortable van for our family, prearranged tickets, coco tea/candy for us ready in van, all our food and language considerations taken care of. We covered Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Maras and Moray and even included a great lunch at one of the best Peruvian buffets. Our guide Charley is super knowledgeable, patient friendly, great with kids, has a passion and zeal for his culture and eagerness to share every detail. Definitely recommended 5 stars!

Exceptional personalized tour! Despite being the only participant, Adolfo, the guide, made the experience incredible. His deep knowledge and attention filled the tour with lively insights into Inca culture. Visiting 5 sites might seem rushed, but it’s worth every moment, especially for those short on time in Cusco. Highly recommended!
