Sacred Valley Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Sacred Valley Full-Day Tour from Cusco
We will pick you up from your hotel lobby at 07:00 am in Cusco for your Machu Picchu & Sacred Valley tour. Then we will take a road that leads to Pisac. We will visit the 4 main sites, the Pisac Archeological site, Pisac Market, the Salt mines in Maras, and Moray. First, we visit the archaeological site of Pisac. We will have to walk approximately 10 minutes to get there. Here you will have a guided tour for around 1 hour, where we will visit the most important places, like the agriculture place, the cemetery of the Incas, the temple of the sun, etc. After visiting Pisac we will continue to Urubamba in our van and around midday we will stop at a restaurant in Urubamba.
We keep driving to the Inca site of Moray, a magnificent series of terrace circles set into the ground that was once used by the Incas for experimentation with crops, then the salt mines which have been in use since Pre-Inca times. Water from an underground stream is channeled through pools where it evaporates and leaves behind pure salt crystals. The views are amazing with thousands of stark white pools stretching down the valley. Our final destination is Ollantaytambo ruins where we will spend an hour. After visiting Ollantaytambo, we drive you back to Cusco, we expect to arrive by 6:30 – 7:00 pm
