What you'll see & do
- ✓The adventure of your Cusco to Sacred Valley Tour kicks off with a morning collection from your Cusco accommodation. We will guide you through a scenic route that takes roughly forty-five minutes, leading to the charming locale of Chinchero. Nestled 3,762 meters (or 12,343 feet) above sea level, this place provides a blend of rich historical and cultural experiences. You'll get to explore awe-inspiring Inca ruins and magnificent colonial churches, all while gaining insight into the traditional art of Andean weaving.
- ✓Following that, we'll steer our journey to the farming terraces of Moray. The amphitheater-like design of this captivating archaeological marvel stands as a tribute to the Inca civilization's advanced agricultural techniques. Immersed in its historical charm, you'll have approximately one hour to absorb the essence of Moray.
- ✓Departing from Moray, we'll embark on a brief 15-minute expedition to the distinctive Maras Salt Mines. These age-old salt pools, active since the era of the Incas, present a truly eye-catching panorama. You'll have the opportunity to meander among the salt pans for roughly an hour, gaining a deeper understanding of their intriguing operations.
- ✓As noon approaches, our journey leads us to Urubamba, where a delectable buffet lunch is prepared for your delight.
- ✓Post-lunch, a half-hour journey navigates us to the town of Ollantaytambo, home to an immense Inca fortress. This spectacular fortress showcases large stone terraces gracefully carved into the hillside. During the Inca era, Ollantaytambo held significant importance.

Additionally, it marks the commencement point for embarking on the revered Inca Trail leading to Machu Picchu.
