The area of the valley between Pisac and Ollantaytambo is known as the Sacred Valley Tour of the Incas. On this tour, we will drive through the mountains of the Sacred Valley of the Incas which held great significance in Inca Culture as salt pools, which act as evaporation chambers. They spill out of the mountain and down the mountainside at 12,000 feet above sea level. Owned by local farmers, these pools have become the main economic activity for all the locals. The Valley has a milder climate than Cusco. You will see a succession of picturesque villages, agricultural terraces, and several archeological sites.

Awesome Experience in Peru

This was a great experience working with TMT. We were a small group. My colleagues went on the Lares Trek. I injured my knee prior to the trip and was in jeopardy of cancelling. However, the TMT folks offered a private tour for myself out of Cusco while my friends continued their trek. The guide and driver provided an outstanding experience with a level of professionalism that I will never forget. They arranged my tours so that I could meet up with my friends after their trek where we continued our journey together into Mach Picchu. Thank you TMT for all you did for us. I highly recommend True Mountain Traveler for anyone wanting to visit Peru.

Response from the operator: Thanks so much for traveling with us. It was an honor to take you to tailor made tour.

Complete Sacred Valley Tour + salt mines: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

How much does Complete Sacred Valley Tour + salt mines cost?

+

Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Complete Sacred Valley Tour + salt mines take?

+

Plan for about 31 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

Is Complete Sacred Valley Tour + salt mines worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Complete Sacred Valley Tour + salt mines?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Complete Sacred Valley Tour + salt mines suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 31-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Complete Sacred Valley Tour + salt mines?

+

Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 31-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Complete Sacred Valley Tour + salt mines start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Cusco?

+

On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Cusco?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Cusco?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What is included in Complete Sacred Valley Tour + salt mines?

+

Included: Transport; pick up from your hotel; entrances; and Guide. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Does Complete Sacred Valley Tour + salt mines include hotel pickup?

+

Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 208 listed pickup locations in and around Cusco. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

What languages is Complete Sacred Valley Tour + salt mines offered in?

+

It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Complete Sacred Valley Tour + salt mines?

+

Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

Is Complete Sacred Valley Tour + salt mines wheelchair or stroller accessible?

+

The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

What happens to Complete Sacred Valley Tour + salt mines if the weather is bad?

+

It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cusco. Standard cancellation terms apply.
