Itinerary
Day 1: Airport to Pisac Ruins and Llama Farm
We recommend arriving in Cusco before midday. Upon arrival, we will meet you at Cusco Airport and start the adventure to the Sacred Valley right away, driving to the eastern side of the valley while you enjoy the amazing scenic views.
Our first stop is Pisac Ruins, one of the biggest archaeological sites in the Sacred Valley. You will be amazed by the stunning Inca farming terraces and the fort-like ruins of an Inca village on top of the mountain. A visit to the Pisac Market is optional.
At your request, we can also stop at the Ccochahuasi Animal Rescue Center and/or a Llama Farm.
At the end of the tour, we drop you off at your hotel in Urubamba or Ollantaytambo – both beautiful, quiet towns.
Recommended towns to book your accommodation: Urubamba / Ollantaytambo.
Day 2: Full-Day Sacred Valley Tour: Ollantaytambo, Moray and the Salt Mines
We start the second day’s adventure with pick-up from your accommodation at 8:00 AM.
First, we explore Ollantaytambo, known as a living museum due to its old houses still inhabited by locals, and explore the fascinating megalithic ruins.
We then drive to the amazing circular Inca terraces of Moray, unique among the Inca sites in the Sacred Valley, believed to be an elaborate agricultural laboratory.
After visiting these unique sites, we make a stop at a local restaurant for a well-deserved lunch (at extra cost).
We visit the famous Salt Mines of Maras, where locals, since pre-Inca times, have obtained salt by evaporating warm salty water from a nearby spring.
Finally, if time allows, you visit Chinchero, a small town famous for its spectacular mountain views, traditional textile weaving centers, and well-preserved Inca ruins.
At the end of the tour, we drop you off at your hotel or the train station in Ollantaytambo, in case your trip continues to Machu Picchu. Note: the order of visiting the sites is flexible.
