Sacred Valley tours from Cusco offer an enriching exploration of this vital historical and cultural region of Peru. Situated between Cusco and Machu Picchu, the valley is renowned for its stunning scenery, traditional Andean villages, and impressive Inca archaeological sites. Full-day tours are popular, typically visiting highlights such as the ruins and vibrant market at Pisac, the agricultural terraces of Moray, the unique Maras salt mines, and the formidable Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo.
These tours provide insights into Inca history, engineering, and daily life, often including stops to observe traditional weaving or interact with local communities. The Sacred Valley’s lower altitude compared to Cusco can also aid in acclimatization. Beyond archaeology, tours may offer adventure activities like rafting on the Urubamba River or exploring by ATV. Sacred Valley tours are a convenient way to experience a significant part of the Andean legacy and natural beauty, often serving as a perfect complement to a visit to Machu Picchu.
