Tour Itinerary

Detailed Itineray of Inca Trail Sacred Valley

At 07:00 AM, we will be picking you up from your hotel in Cusco. Then in our private transport, we will be driving you to Chinchero.

Chinchero:

To Incas, Chinchero was the mythical birthplace of Rainbow.

Chinchero, one of the most typical towns of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, a town the Spaniards once attempted to incorporate their culture, but did not succeed completely because its inhabitants to this day refuse to leave aside the Inca culture and customs.

The village is popular for the Andean textile industry. People living here continue to dress in their colourful traditional outfits and speak Quechua. This stop is a perfect introduction to the Inca civilization.

The town is not only known for its Inca ruins, but also for its Andean Textile Interpretation Center. In this place, women dressed in traditional costumes give demonstrations on how to clean alpaca hair, how to dye the fibers, how to spin the fiber into yarn, etc. After the demonstration you can walk around and see the products for sale.

Moray:

Once you have had your fill of this site, we will continue the tour to Moray. This is possibly the most impressive sight in the valley. Moray is home to the mysterious circular farming terraces dug into the ground with different levels.

Legends say that each level has a different temperature. This allowed the Incas to determine the best weather condition needed to grow any crop. Moray served as an agricultural laboratory for the Incas.

Maras:

We will then visit Maras. Home to over 5000 salt puddles clinging to the slopes of the canyon, Maras produces the best salt in Peru. People here practise Solar evaporation mentos to extract salt. It has been passed down generation after generation.

They let in freshwaters in these salt pools and wait for it to evaporate. Then they manually scrape out salt. The salt here is pinkish in colour and tastes a bit different. It is also quite nutritious.

We will then visit Urubamba village. Here we will be stopping at a local restaurant where we will be serving you lunch. Urubamba is at a very low altitude in the whole Sacred Valley.

After relishing a traditional Andean lunch, we will be driving you to Ollantaytambo.

Ollantaytambo:

Dominated by two massive Inca ruins, this serene ancient village of Ollantaytambo is the best example of the Inca’s town planning. Designed with narrow cobblestoned streets, the town has been continuously inhabited since the 13th century.

Here we will be visiting the Inca site that nestles overlooking this picturesque village. After the tour, we will be accommodating you in an ensuite hotel room for the night.

Difficulty

Easy / Beginner

We will be picking you up at 0540 AM from your hotel in Ollantaytambo and transferring you to the train station. You will be embarking on a scenic train ride to Km.104, the starting point of the Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.

This full-day trek begins with a short uphill hike. We will be visiting an archaeological site called Chachabamba where you will get a detailed insight into the Inca civilization.

Wiñay Wayna:

Once you had your fill of Chachabamba, we will be hiking for two hours to Wiñay Wayna. In Quechua, the name signifies forever young. This is one of the most impressive sites along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.

Our tour guide will be giving you a detailed tour of the complex. After the tour, we will stop for lunch at the campsite.

We will then hike the last section of the Inca Trail to the emblematic Sungate. Only those on Inca Trail to Machu Picchu enter the citadel through Sungate. We will have a brief stop here so our guide will give you an introduction to the iconic lost city of Incas that would be in front of you.

We will be taking a bus down to Aguas Calientes town. Here we will be accommodating you in an ensuite hotel room for the night.

Difficulty

Easy / Beginner

At 0600 AM, we will be taking the bus from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu. It will be a 25-minute drive up to the lost city of the Incas. As you will be entering the citadel, you will witness the golden rays of the morning sun shimmering on the mortar walls of Machu Picchu.

Our guide will be giving you a detailed two hours tour of the complex. On this tour, you will be visiting the main square, remains of the quarters and Inca temples, ceremonial sites and more.

After the tour, you will have some free time. If you have booked to hike Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu mountain, our guide will be directing you to the respective trailhead.

We will then take a bus back to Aguas Calientes. Here you will be boarding the train back to Ollantaytambo. Our representative will be meeting you on arrival and will be transferring you back to your hotel in Cusco.

Will was our guide and he was wonderful! The tour was everything we hoped for. The day was filled with so much and Will made sure we were having the best time we could. Ask for Will- he was wonderful!

We had an outstanding time in our private tour with Carlos and Michael. Better than expected. Beautiful county and they took great care of us! Sacred Valley is a must!
Wonderful Sacred Valley Tour!

My sister and I were referred to Come See Peru from a friend, and we are so grateful for the referral. We did the Sacred Valley Cultural Experience. Carlos (our guide) and Michael (our driver) were knowledgeable, flexible, and fun!

Here are a few specific aspects that I would like to mention:

1. Flexible. We really appreciated the flexibility that we were afforded. We did our half day Sacred Valley trip in between accommodation switches. So we were picked up in Ollantaytambo and dropped off in Cusco. Additionally, we had to be picked up a bit later than the original start time, and Carlos and Michael were happy to accommodate.

2. Informative. Carlos expertly led us around the three sites we visited (Ollantaytambo ruins, The Salt Mines, The ruins of Moray). He actually took us in an order that allowed for there to be less tourists when we were present, which was really nice. He provided us with historical context and answered all of our questions.

3. Patient. Carlos and Michael gave us time to sit in the beauty that is these amazing locations. Carlos is a wonderful photographer as well and offered to take our picture at some really neat places in each location. When we did the Chicha tasting and salt demonstration, they waited while we shopped. We never felt rushed, which we appreciated.

4. Fun! Overall, we had a really good time with Carlos and Michael. We chatted and laughed about all sorts of things. We appreciated the private tour aspect so we could really go at our own flow and connect and just enjoy.

Thank you Carlos and Michael for a lovely exploration of the Sacred Valley! You will be at the top of our list when we return to see Pisac and Chinchero!

Wow! I booked a customizable 2-day tour to include all of the main Sacred Valley sights because I wanted to start the first day in Cusco and end in Ollantaytambo and use the tour as transportation as well. Come See Peru was so easy to work with, communicating extremely quickly via WhatsApp to design my perfect itinerary. They also suggested some stops that I did not know about.

Our guide Ruben was positively incredible and really made this tour amazing. He presented the history, culture, geography, & food information in such a compelling way! We learned SO MUCH because he is an incredible storyteller. None of the main sites (moray, maras, ollantaytambo, etc) have much signage and we wouldn’t have been able to appreciate them half as well without Ruben. He was also an amazing photographer, always choosing the best locations to take photos of my husband and I.
The vehicle was a comfortable van, which was private, and we had a driver who dropped off and picked up whenever we needed and also stayed with our luggage the day that it was in the car.

Overall, the price was fair for the value received and I would definitely recommend reaching out to Come See Peru to build a customized tour for your trip to the Sacred Valley!

Excellent service

My wife, and I actually took three tours in three dayswith Come See Peru. This were for Machu Picchu, Pisac / Llama farm and the half-day tour on the outskirts of Cusco. The company provided excellent tour guides and took care of every detail, so that our tours were totally stressed free.
