About this experience
One of the most preferred tours in Cusco is the Sacred Valley of Incas with an onward connection to the iconic Incan citadel, Machu Picchu. The valley around the imperial city of Cusco offers an endless landscape that is primely located on the banks of the sacred river, Vilcanota. Vilcanota river snakes through the valley of Cusco. It is the prime source of water for the villages located on its shores. The inhabitants of these villages have preserved the traditions, customs, and lifestyle that they have been practicing since the Incan reign. Just at the end of this sacred river nestles a town called Urubamba which forms a major part of the Sacred Valley. On this tour, you will be stopping here for lunch before boarding a tourist train to Aguas Calientes. Aguas Calientes is a gateway to one of the seven wonders of the world – Machu Picchu.

Two in One
An excellent option to see both Sacred Valley Of Incas and Machu Picchu in one go! This tour indeed cover all the attractions and was very informative. Machu Picchu peru Cusco organised this tour very nicely and all logistics were well taken care of. Karen the owner met us the night before the tour and explained a lot about the itinerary and on what to expect and carry which helped us a lot. We are very happy with the whole organisation and will surely recommend this tour company.

Loved It!
On this trip I visited both Sacred Valley of Incas and Machu Picchu. I must admit that this was far beyond my expectations. Karen from Machu Picchu Peru Tours was very attentive and helpful. The night before the tour I visited her office near the main square of Cusco and she explained on what to carry and what to expect. It was at the last hour I requested for Vegeterian meal and she did organise it as well. On the day of the tour,the pickup was on time and the vehicle was super comfortable. We stopped at the town of Pisac where we visited the archealogical sitre and the traditional market. We then stopped at a town called Urubamba for lunch where they served us exotic Peruvian meal. After Urubamba we went to Ollantaytambo town, the town itself is charming with a lot of things to see. We boarded the train to Aguas Calientes town from there. Upon arriving there, a representative of their company picked me us and transferred me to the hotel in town. The hotel was stunning overlooking a lake. At night a local guide visited me and offered a briefing and handed me over the tickets. The next morning as advised by the guide, I took a bus to the citadel and met the guide at the main entrance. I was then pooled with a group of 8 other travellers and the guide gave us a very interesting tour of Machu Picchu and the history of the site. After the guided tour he gave us some free time too. The whole experience was very interesting one and i thank Karen frm the bottom of my heart.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sacred Valley Connection to Machu Picchu (2 Days): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley Connection to Machu Picchu (2 Days) cost?
+
Prices start at $420 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 Sacred Valley Connection to Machu Picchu (2 Days) take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Sacred Valley Connection to Machu Picchu (2 Days) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sacred Valley Connection to Machu Picchu (2 Days)?
+
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 Sacred Valley Connection to Machu Picchu (2 Days) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Sacred Valley Connection to Machu Picchu (2 Days)?
+
Around 1 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sacred Valley Connection to Machu Picchu (2 Days) 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.
