Sacred Valley 1 Day Tour

About This Tour

Discover the breathtaking beauty and rich history of the Sacred Valley of the Incas on this full-day Sacred Valley tour from Cusco. This journey combines ancient Inca sites, living culture, and beautiful Andean scenery as you explore some of the most important places in the Sacred Valley. Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup by your guide and driver. The first stop is the Cochawasi Animal Sanctuary, a rescue center dedicated to rehabilitating native Andean wildlife. Here, you’ll have the rare opportunity to get up close to majestic condors, pumas, and vicuñas. Next, explore the ancient Pisaq Archaeological Site, one of the most impressive Inca sites in the Sacred Valley. Known for its expansive terraces and stunning views, the site also houses one of the largest Inca cemeteries. We'll explore the upper part of the ruins, where you'll learn about the history and significance of this ancient location. From the ruins, we descend to the charming town of Pisac, where you can wander through the narrow, cobblestone streets. Here, we’ll visit a colonial oven and you’ll have time to explore the local market before we make our way to the main square. Following a delicious lunch in Urubamba, continue your journey to Yanawara, where we’ll stop for a unique cultural experience — sampling Chicha, a traditional Andean drink made from fermented corn. The final stop of the day is the remarkable Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo, often called the "City of the Living Inca." Here, you’ll ascend the ancient terraces of this impressive fortress, with impressive temples and breathtaking views of the valley below.  Afterwards we'll conclude the day and drop you off at your hotel in Cusco.
