What you'll see and do
Complejo Arqueologico Chinchero
Your trip to the Sacred Valley begins with pickup from your hotel in Cusco, at 6:30 a.m. On our private transport, we head to the village of Chinchero, known as the “rainbow village of the Incas”. Here you will meet talented Andean weavers, famous for their skill in using alpaca and llama wool. You can see how they make colorful textiles using traditional techniques and natural dyes, while our local guide explains the cultural value of these customs that are still alive. In addition, Chinchero is home to an important archaeological site, where the summer palace of Inca Pachacútec once stood. Later, the Spaniards built a church on those remains, creating a unique contrast between Inca heritage and colonial architecture. After this cultural and historical experience, we continue the journey to Maras and Moray.

Next stop is Moray, a unique archaeological site that showcases the advanced agricultural knowledge of the Incas. Here you will find huge circular terraces built in natural depressions of the terrain, which the Incas used as an experimental center for the cultivation of different products. Each level has its own microclimate, which allowed different altitude conditions to be simulated and crops adapted. As you tour this impressive place, our local guide will explain how these terraces worked and why Moray is considered one of the great examples of Andean agricultural wisdom. It is a fascinating visit that combines nature, science and Inca legacy in one place.

We continue to one of the most photogenic places in the Sacred Valley: the Salineras de Maras. This incredible resort is made up of hundreds of geometric pools on the mountainsides, where salt has been produced in a traditional way since pre-Inca times. The famous pink salt of Maras is valued for its unique flavor and nutritional properties. During the visit, you’ll learn how locals continue to use the ancestral solar evaporation method, guiding spring water into pools and manually collecting salt crystals. This activity, inherited from generation to generation, is an essential part of life in the community. Maras not only surprises by its beauty, but also by its living history and tradition.

Urubamba
After exploring Moray and Salineras, we pause in the peaceful village of Urubamba, located on the banks of the river that bears its name. Here we will enjoy a delicious meal in a local restaurant, with options of Peruvian cuisine and fresh products from the region. It’s the perfect time to relax, share travel impressions and recharge before continuing with the next wonders of the day. The stop lasts about an hour, ideal for relaxing and enjoying Andean hospitality in one of the quietest villages in the valley.
40 minutes here
The next stop will be Ollantaytambo, known as the last living Inca city. This charming village has been inhabited continuously since the time of the Incas, and still retains its cobblestone streets, waterways and original constructions. Nestled between two hills with archaeological remains, we will explore its impressive Inca complex. We will climb to the old fortress where the Temple of the Sun is located, ceremonial enclosures and agricultural terraces that offer spectacular views of the valley. Our guide will tell you about the historical battle of 1537, when Manco Inca managed to resist the Spanish forces in this fortress. Although he achieved victory, the Incas decided to retreat to the jungle to continue their resistance. Today, Ollantaytambo is also important because it is the starting point for Machu Picchu, since from here the train departs for Aguas Calientes.
60 minutes here
Parque Arqueologico Pisac
We will continue to Pisac, where some of the largest and most amazing Inca ruins of the Sacred Valley are located, after Machu Picchu. After about 45 minutes of travel, we will arrive at this impressive archaeological site on top of the mountain. Our guide will take you to the Temple of the Sun, ceremonial fountains, ancient agricultural platforms and other constructions that show the legacy of the Incas. Then we will go down to the village to tour the artisan market of Pisac, one of the most popular in the valley. Here you can find handmade textiles, ceramics, jewelry and crafts made by local communities. At the end of the visit, we will return to Cusco. The arrival is scheduled for 7:00 p.m., concluding a day full of history, culture and unforgettable landscapes.

Who is Full Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco (1 Day) best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 13.5-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Full Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco (1 Day) good value?
+
It is fairly priced. It starts at $40, close to the $43 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.
How much does Full Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco (1 Day) cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 Full Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco (1 Day) take?
+
Plan for about 13.5 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 Full Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco (1 Day) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco (1 Day)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco (1 Day) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco (1 Day)?
+
Around 0 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 13.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco (1 Day) 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), Full-Day Rainbow Mountain Trek (Meals Included). 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.
