What you'll see and do
Sacred Valley
Get picked up from your hotel between 5:30am and 6:00am and head to the community of Lago Piuray, close to the town of Chinchero (about one hour in transit). You’ll begin your adventure here, at an altitude of 11,800 feet (3600 meters). The trek begins with a 3-hour walk upwards, until you arrive at Piuray passage at a height of 13,400 feet (4,100 meters). Get rewarded for your efforts with beautiful panoramic view of the Urubamba mountain range and small lagoons down below.
Huchuy Qosqo
Continue the adventure with a 2-hour journey down to the Huchuy Qosqo ruins, a beautiful Inca city built in the Sacred Valley. The ruins’ name in Quechua means "Little Cuzco." Your guide will lead the group on an exploration of this magical archaeological site, after which you’ll finish with some time to enjoy an included box lunch. Then make a steep 2-hour downhill descent to the town of Lamay. Your transport service will pick the group up and drive you to Cuzco, where our trip will come to an end between 5 and 6pm.

Great full day inca trail trekking
Did Chinchero > Piuray passage > Huchuy Qosqo ruins > Lamay on 7 Apr. Special thanks to Lorenzo who helped me carry my day pack when climbing this ~4000m mountains. Without him and his encouragement I don't think I could have completed this 16km Inca trek, especially the downhill part. Strongly recommended this day tour.

Sacred Valley Full Day Trekking Tour from Cusco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley Full Day Trekking Tour from Cusco cost?
+
Prices start at $131 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 Full Day Trekking Tour from Cusco take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Full Day Trekking Tour from Cusco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Sacred Valley Full Day Trekking Tour from Cusco?
+
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 Sacred Valley Full Day Trekking Tour from Cusco suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 11-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Sacred Valley Full Day Trekking Tour from Cusco?
+
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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sacred Valley Full Day Trekking Tour from Cusco 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.
