Tour to the Sacred Valley of the Incas – Group Service

Connect and discover the experience that the Sacred Valley of the Incas Tour has for you.

If you want contact with nature, archeology and the sensitivity of Peru, we recommend that you visit one of the most important historical sites in South America, the Sacred Valley of the Incas Tour, one of the most popular in the world.

The climatic and geographical qualities of this place, protected from the strong winds of the high plateau, made this Valley a unique setting, an agricultural center of the Inca Empire, which currently allows contact with religious places, colossal buildings, temples, archaeological sites, agricultural and cultural that are World Heritage, distributed among the towns of Pisac, Taray, Ollantaytambo, Chinchero and more.

This tour is an opportunity to adapt your body to the altitude, especially if you want to go to destinations such as Machu Picchu or other high-altitude places.

Appreciate the beauty in our photo gallery; and although beautiful, they do not describe the excitement of being in this powerful place. Live it up!

Route

Itinerary of the Sacred Valley Tour:

07:30: Pick up from lodging – Sacred Valley

After you have breakfast at your accommodation, one of our Guru Explorers will pick you up around 07:30 – 08:00 on the way to the Sacred Valley of the Incas to make a first stop at the Mirador de Taray, a place that offers you the most beautiful panoramic view of the Sacred Valley, its Snowy Mountains, ruins of fortified citadels, streams and crops.

Later you discover the charm of the Ruins of Pisac, the most extensive citadel and fortress of the Inca civilization in the Sacred Valley, an example of the ability of these people to build an impressive ceremonial architecture in the middle of the natural landscape. This place was destined for astronomical studies.

We continue to the town of Urubamba, where you can choose between different options for lunch (vegan and vegetarian food available) and after the break, it is time to continue to the historic town of Ollantaytambo, an archaeological zone that boasts neat constructions with megalithic stones and agricultural terraces erected on the slopes of the mountains; In this same town, you will discover the charm of the Living City of the Incas that preserves the same streets and houses of the past.

The last stop in Chinchero allows you to get in touch with the living culture of the Peruvian Andes and a mix between Inca and colonial architecture; You also know the artisan processing of locally made wool and textiles made with pre-Columbian techniques.
