From €23 per person
See availability →A Sacred Valley tour from Cusco that links Chinchero weavers, Moray, the Maras salt ponds, Ollantaytambo and Pisac in one day, with a buffet lunch in Urubamba.
If you want to see the whole Sacred Valley in a single day, this Sacred Valley tour from Cusco strings its best-known stops along one route. Your guide collects you at your accommodation in the historic centre, or at a nearby meeting point, and the first halt is Chinchero, a rustic town with a long tradition of weaving. You see textiles made with Inca techniques, then visit an archaeological site and a handsome old church.
Next come the terraces of Moray, which the Incas built to grow plentiful crops on difficult mountain slopes, and, close by, more than 5,000 salt ponds at Maras once used to preserve food for long periods. Lunch is a buffet in Urubamba, the capital of the valley.
- Ollantaytambo, where over 200 steps lead up the terraced fortress above the town
- Pisaq, with its archaeological site
- An optional drop-off in Ollantaytambo if you are staying there or have other plans
The ride back ends in the historic centre of Cusco. The tour includes the bilingual guide, bus transport, the buffet lunch with vegetarian options and a first-aid kit. The partial tourist ticket and the salt mine entrance are paid separately. It is not recommended for wheelchair users or for people with mobility or respiratory problems.
