Which places are visited on the Full Sacred Valley Tour?
The Full Sacred Valley Tour visits some of the most iconic attractions in the Sacred Valley of the Incas in a single day: Chinchero, Moray, the Maras Salt Mines, Ollantaytambo, and Pisac. The tour also includes a buffet lunch, giving you the opportunity to experience the region’s rich history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes near Cusco.
💡 Get In Peru Tip: After more than six years of operating this route, we’ve found that visiting the sites in a carefully planned order helps avoid the largest crowds and gives you more time to enjoy each destination.
🦙 Did you know?
The Sacred Valley sits at a lower altitude than the city of Cusco, making it a more comfortable destination for many travelers during the first days of their trip.
Is the Full Sacred Valley Tour worth doing in just one day?
Yes. The Full Sacred Valley Tour is an excellent option for travelers who want to visit the region’s main attractions without spending several days. The itinerary combines archaeological sites, stunning Andean landscapes, traditional markets, and a buffet lunch, offering a well-rounded experience just outside Cusco.
💡 Get In Peru Tip: Our experience has shown that this tour is ideal for travelers with limited time, especially before or after visiting Machu Picchu.
🦙 Did you know?
Many visitors consider this tour the perfect introduction to Inca history and architecture before exploring Machu Picchu.
How long is the Full Sacred Valley Tour?
The Full Sacred Valley Tour lasts approximately 10 to 12 hours. It typically begins in the morning with hotel pickup in Cusco and ends around sunset after visiting Chinchero, Moray, the Maras Salt Mines, Ollantaytambo, and Pisac. The itinerary also includes time to enjoy a buffet lunch along the way.
💡 Get In Peru Tip: We recommend getting a good night’s rest before the tour, as the day includes several transfers and short walks at different archaeological sites.
🦙 Did you know?
In just one day, you’ll travel through different microclimates and elevations, so it’s completely normal to experience temperature changes between each stop.
What is included in the Full Sacred Valley Tour?
The Full Sacred Valley Tour typically includes tourist transportation, a professional guide, visits to Chinchero, Moray, the Maras Salt Mines, Ollantaytambo, and Pisac, as well as a buffet lunch. Some tour operators do not include the Cusco Tourist Ticket or the entrance fee to the Maras Salt Mines, so it’s always a good idea to review the itinerary details before booking.
💡 Get In Peru Tip: Before making your reservation, check exactly which entrance fees are included to avoid unexpected expenses during the tour.
🦙 Did you know?
The Cusco Tourist Ticket grants access to several archaeological sites and museums, making it a great value if you’re planning to spend several days exploring the region.
Do I need the Cusco Tourist Ticket to visit the Sacred Valley?
Yes. To enter archaeological sites such as Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Chinchero, and Moray, you’ll need the Cusco Tourist Ticket (Boleto Turístico del Cusco). The Maras Salt Mines, however, require a separate entrance fee, which is usually paid directly at the site.
💡 Get In Peru Tip: If you’re planning to visit other attractions around Cusco during your trip, purchasing the full Cusco Tourist Ticket is often the most cost-effective option.
🦙 Did you know?
The Cusco Tourist Ticket isn’t just for the Sacred Valley—it also includes access to attractions such as Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, Tambomachay, and Puka Pukara.
What is the best time of year to visit the Sacred Valley?
The Sacred Valley can be visited year-round. The dry season, from April to October, typically offers clear skies and the best conditions for enjoying the scenery. During the rainy season, from November to March, the valley becomes much greener and more lush.
💡 Get In Peru Tip: We’ve found that starting early in the morning allows you to enjoy better views and more comfortable temperatures, regardless of the season.
🦙 Did you know?
Even during the rainy season, it’s common to enjoy sunny mornings, as rainfall usually occurs later in the afternoon.
Is it recommended to visit the Sacred Valley before Machu Picchu?
Yes. Many travelers choose to visit the Sacred Valley before Machu Picchu because it allows them to gradually acclimatize to the altitude while learning about the history of the Inca Empire, making the visit to the citadel even more meaningful.
💡 Get In Peru Tip: We often recommend this order because it provides valuable historical context, helping you better understand the significance of Machu Picchu within the Inca Empire.
🦙 Did you know?
Ollantaytambo was one of the few Inca cities that successfully resisted the Spanish during the conquest.
What should I wear for the Full Sacred Valley Tour?
For the Full Sacred Valley Tour, we recommend wearing comfortable clothing, walking shoes or sneakers, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and a light jacket. The weather can change throughout the day due to the different elevations along the route.
💡 Get In Peru Tip: We always suggest dressing in layers, as mornings are usually chilly while midday temperatures can become much warmer.
🦙 Did you know?
Solar radiation in the Andes can be intense even on cloudy days, so wearing sunscreen is always a good idea.
Is the buffet lunch included in the Full Sacred Valley Tour?
Yes. The Full Sacred Valley Tour includes a buffet lunch featuring a wide variety of Peruvian and international dishes. It’s the perfect opportunity to relax and recharge before continuing the journey to Ollantaytambo and Pisac.
💡 Get In Peru Tip: If you have dietary restrictions or follow a vegetarian diet, let your tour operator know in advance so they can arrange suitable meal options.
🦙 Did you know?
Many buffet restaurants in the Sacred Valley feature traditional Andean ingredients such as quinoa, kiwicha (amaranth), native potatoes, and Cusco’s famous giant corn.
What is the difference between the Full Sacred Valley Tour and the Traditional Sacred Valley Tour?
The main difference is that the Full Sacred Valley Tour includes additional destinations such as Moray and the Maras Salt Mines, along with Chinchero, Ollantaytambo, and Pisac. This allows you to experience more of the Sacred Valley’s top attractions in a single day and make the most of your time.
💡 Get In Peru Tip: Over the years, we’ve found that first-time visitors to Cusco usually prefer the Full Sacred Valley Tour because it combines the region’s most iconic sites into one unforgettable experience.
🦙 Did you know?
Moray is considered one of the most remarkable agricultural laboratories of the Inca world, as its circular terraces created different microclimates for experimenting with crops.
