About this activity
Your tour begins with hotel pickup in Cusco between 7:40am and 8:15am. Board a vehicle and drive to the town of Pisaq (approximately an hour) stopping at natural viewpoints along the way where we’ll be able to see the entire Sacred Valley from above.
Once in Pisaq, you will drive up to the ruins (2,950m / 9,678ft), where you will see and learn about different aspects of the Incan culture. You will be able to view intricate stone workings and impressive agricultural terraces all over the place. After touring around the ruins, you will get back into the bus and drive down to Pisaq's town center, where there is a unique market that you can visit.
At the market you will have free time to walk around and do some shopping to then meet your guide for lunch at a nice local restaurant to enjoy delicious Andean cuisine. After lunch, you will continue driving along the Urubamba River towards the town of Ollantaytambo (2,700m / 8,858ft). Once there, you will visit the ruins of Ollantaytambo, a significant construction built during the pinnacle of the Incan civilization. This is an extraordinary place where you will also see an amazing rock formation representing the Inca god Wiracocha. Afterwards, you'll see the famous ruins of Chinchero.
Finally, you will head back to Cusco and be dropped-off at your hotel, arriving at approximately 6:30pm.

This tour was awesome!! We had a private car with a driver and our tour guide. We stopped at several archeological sites and hiked. We had a chance to take pictures and shop. Our tour guide took us to a wonderful lunch. We loved having the private tour.
The Sacred Valley tour was great. Our guide, Joel, was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the sites we visited and took the time to delve into the rich history of the Sacred Valley. We also had a relaxing lunch...and ended the day feeling like we not only learned a lot about the area but also had an enjoyable day with a person who has a passion about The Sacred Valleyff
We explored the Chinchera, Pisaq and Olliantetambo temple and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Our guide Coel was very knowledgeable, passionate, professional and explained everything in detail. He helped immerse ourselves in Inca history and it was a great way to see the sacred valley. We booked this the day before the tour, and yet the pick up, lunch, everything was conducted professional. Totally recommend this tour!
We had a great tour!! Hans was an excellent guide. He was very friendly and knowledgable. We visited all the sites where the history and important artefacts were explained very clearly. Thank you Hans for making our tour so memorable and for the dinner recommendation. We throughly enjoyed ourselves.
