Experience that should not be missed
We had a fantastic trip, both in Sacred Valley and the short Inca hike. David and his team was very easy to communicate with, helped us along the way and also was helpful to tailor our trip specific to our schedule. Our tour guide Ronald was very helpful and knowledgeable about the Inca history as well as making sure that we were at the right place at the right time. Would strongly recommend others to choose the same experience as we had.

Great Planning, Great Execution
We traveled and explored with Ronald for 4 amazing days on a 6 day trip to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. The Andean Path team was super helpful in the planning stage, including helping us decide what to do with our other two days in the area (in contrast to a supposedly higher end company that kept pressuring us to use them all 6 days - which is not necessary). Alijcea helped us develop a trip perfectly customized for our family. The one day Inca trail hike was way better than just taking the bus up, allowing us to see Winay Wayna and come in through the sun gate. Rainbow Mtn was a challenge but worth every step. Throughout the trip, Andean Path found ways to help us avoid the crowds. We enjoyed spending time with Ronald, while also having our own space when wanted.

Best trip ever
We took a tour with Andean Path Travel in April through the Sacred Valley, short Inca Trail, Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu. David and Alicja were fantastic and very responsive in organizing all the trip details and our tour guide Ron was incredible. Ron was extremely knowledgeable about all the sites we visited, and he explained the Inca history and culture about all the things we saw. We saw a textile dying demonstration in Chinchero, which was very fun and interesting, and then we saw Maras Salt Mines and Ruins at Moray and then toured the ruins at Ollantaytambo. It's well worth the extra day to see the Sacred Valley. The Inca trail and Huayna Picchu were challenging, but Ron was amazing. He was patient, encouraging, and super supportive in getting us through the difficult parts, and we feel proud for having accomplished it. Ron was also awesome at taking photos and knew all the great spots where to stand for the best viewpoint. It was an incredible trip and we will have memories for a lifetime. Thanks to Andean Path Travel everything was perfect. If you are thinking about a trip to Peru, I highly recommend you stop thinking and book a tour with Andean Path Travel. You’ll be glad you did.

Amazing Trip with Domingo
We did Sacred Valley, short Inca trail, Machu Picchu tour, and Rainbow mountain with Andean Path Travel. Our guide, Domingo, has been nothing short of amazing. He's incredibly accommodating, and super knowledgeable on Incan history. He provided us with an unforgettable experience, with the short Inca Trail being my personal favourite part of the trip. I recommend Domingo to anyone that wants to enjoy their time in Peru to the fullest.

Rich & Rewarding Family Vacation
We had an unforgettable, fun and deeply moving experience during this wonderful tour with Roneld. I have to admit that I was initially not that excited about a family vacation to Peru but my daughter insisted we would have an amazing time and that I would love it in the end. She was so right. My husband and I went with our two 20-something kids. From the time I booked the reservation to the final goodbye at our hotel in Cusco, Alicja, David and Roneld were wonderfully attentive. Alicja's instructions were clear and detailed, and Roneld did a great job preparing us for what we would experience. We loved hearing about Peru's history and the traditions of the Quechua from Roneld's point of view. Seeing the salt mines, stopping to hear about how alpaca wools are dyed naturally, and the tour of the Sacred Valley were unforgettable! The trek to the Sun Gate and ultimately Machu Picchu was one of the most difficult experiences of my life. We had to take a different trail because of heavy rains on the original one. The one we took was basically a vertical climb! I've never experienced any hike like it and it was brutal for me. But I did it! Not so for my kids, who arrived a full hour before I did, and my husband, who made it 30 minutes after them. Roneld stayed with me, encouraged me, went ahead, and stayed back, all at the right moments with this eerie instinct about exactly what I needed in the moment that I needed it. I will never forget him. I made it to the top only because of his patience and encouragement. The hotel in Ollantaytambo was lovely. We struggled a bit to to get to sleep at the one in Aguascalientes because of the loud partiers around the area. Still, we made it work. The next day's tour of Machu Picchu was nothing compared to the hike the day before so we were ready for anything! :-) When we arrived back in Cusco, Roneld reminded us to get all of our things. Little did I know, I'd dropped my glasses in the van. The driver was kind enough to return them to our hotel the next day. That small kindness was so very appreciated. Thank you! All in all, we were just so incredibly thankful for this experience and, in particular, to have had it with Roneld. Thank you so very much for sharing your stories and for answering all of our many, many questions, Roneld. When I asked you if you ever got used to seeing Machu Picchu and you said every visit is different and magical, I knew you were a special human. Thank you Alicja and David for creating a wonderful tour for our family!

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sacred Valley & One Day Inca Trail 3 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley & One Day Inca Trail 3 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $850 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 & One Day Inca Trail 3 Days take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 & One Day Inca Trail 3 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 26 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 & One Day Inca Trail 3 Days?
+
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 & One Day Inca Trail 3 Days 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 72-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Sacred Valley & One Day Inca Trail 3 Days?
+
Around 9 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sacred Valley & One Day Inca Trail 3 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.
