Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour 2 days

We will collect you from your hotel in Cusco at 7:45 AM and begin our scenic drive into the Sacred Valley of the Incas, a region rich in history, culture, and breathtaking Andean landscapes.

Our first stop is Chinchero, a traditional Andean village famous for its artisan market and textile traditions. Here, you’ll observe ancestral weaving techniques and explore the archaeological remains and colonial church built over Inca foundations.

Next, we continue to Moray, a fascinating complex of circular terraces believed to have been used by the Incas as an agricultural experimentation center due to its unique microclimates.

We then visit Salineras de Maras, where thousands of salt pools cascade down the mountainside. These salt pans are still harvested using traditional techniques passed down through generations.

After our guided visits, we head to Urubamba, a peaceful town surrounded by majestic peaks, where you will enjoy a buffet lunch with vegetarian and vegan options available.

In the afternoon, we explore Ollantaytambo, one of the most important and best-preserved Inca towns. You’ll learn about its defensive structures, terraces, and ceremonial temples.

After the guided visit, we walk to the train station and board the train to Aguas Calientes. Upon arrival, our representative will meet you and escort you to your hotel. The evening is free for you to relax or explore the town at your own pace.

After breakfast at your hotel, you’ll take the 30-minute bus ride up to Machu Picchu. At the checkpoint, you must present your passport and entrance ticket before entering the site.

Inside the citadel, your guide will lead a comprehensive 2-hour tour following Circuit 2. You’ll visit the Main Plaza, Temple of the Sun, Temple of the Three Windows, Royal Quarters, Sacred Rock, ceremonial fountains, and other significant sectors.
