Sacred Valley Full Day Tour

Cusco

Duration

10 Hour

The Sacred Valley of the Incas is one of Peru's most iconic destinations and one of the main gateways to discovering the history, culture, and traditions surrounding Machu Picchu. Amid mountains, ancient villages, and impressive archaeological remains, this region reveals different facets of the legacy left behind by the Incas. On this full-day excursion departing from Cusco, you'll visit some of the Sacred Valley's most representative sites, including Pisac, Urubamba, and Ollantaytambo. Along the way, you'll take in stunning Andean landscapes, explore important archaeological sites, and get to know traditions that remain part of local communities' daily life today. The experience also includes a buffet lunch featuring flavors representative of Peruvian cuisine. Altitude is simply part of the region's geography, but the route moves through different elevation levels throughout the day, allowing for gradual acclimatization.
