What you'll see and do
Sacred Valley
The sacred valley is the most beautiful area on our way to machu picchu, here you can see the archaeological sites of Pisac, Ollantaytambo and chinchero.

Pisac
Pisac is a village in southern Peru’s Sacred Valley region. It's known for its lively handicrafts market in the main square. A path winds from the square past agricultural terraces up to Pisac Archaeological Park, a hilltop Incan citadel with ancient temples, plazas and the Intihuatana, a stone structure thought to have been a sundial. Views from the top stretch across the Quitamayo gorge and surrounding valley.
45 minutes here
Ollantaytambo
Ollantaytambo is a village in the Sacred Valley of south Peru, set on the Urubamba River amid snow-capped mountains. It's known for the Ollantaytambo ruins, a massive Inca fortress with large stone terraces on a hillside. Major sites within the complex include the huge Sun Temple and the Princess Baths fountain. The village's old town is an Inca-era grid of cobblestoned streets and adobe buildings.
45 minutes here
Chinchero
Chinchero is a small Andean Indian village located high up on the windswept plains of Anta at 3765m about 30km from Cusco. There are beautiful views overlooking the Sacred Valley of the Incas, with the Cordillera Vilcabamba and the snow-capped peak of Salkantay dominating the western horizon. Chinchero is believed to be the mythical birthplace of the rainbow. Its major claim to tourism is its colourful Sunday market which is much less tourist-orientated than the market at Pisac. The village mainly comprises mud brick (adobe) houses, and locals still go about their business in traditional dress. The village may have been an important town in Inca times. The most striking remnant of this period is the massive stone wall in the main plaza which has ten trapezoidal niches. The construction of the wall and many other ruins and agricultural terraces (which are still in use) are attributed to Inca Tupac Yupanqui who possibly used Chinchero as a kind of country resort.

Breaktaking sight
I chose this for my dad and I. We woke up early in Cusco and our travel van took about 3 hours to get there. It was about a group of 16 of us. It took me about 2 hours to reach the top and the last 800 meters are very difficult. You should train for it and might need assistance from coca tea. You can also take a horse but you still need to climb the last 600-800 meters on your own. Only, about half of us could hike it all. The rest paid for the horses. It took me about 50 minutes to return to our van. The locals sell many awesome items. Rainbow Mountain is breathtaking both figuratively and literally. This is a once in a lifetime experience. We stopped for breakfast and for an early dinner at the same place.

Excellent Tour with Excellent Guide
Picked up on time at hotel and 3 other tourists joined - 4 in all. Perfect amount to really have an interactive experience with our tour guide, Editte/Edith. She was wonderful! Great English and very patient with all our questions. And as a solo traveler she was always happy to take pictures for me. We fed llamas & alpacas, drove through beautiful scenery, visited a market, saw 2 archaeology sites, had an amazing Peruvian buffet and saw weaving demonstrations. I'm not sure people realize there are so many more archaeology sites than Machu Picchu and all are worth climbing (and just as much work lol). Our small group (Jill, Roy and Leon) were wonderful to be with and it was a lot of fun where I just happened to learn a lot. Oh! Great price as well, well worth it.

Sacred Valley Tour Including Lunch, Scape the Crowd: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Sacred Valley Tour Including Lunch, Scape the Crowd cost?
+
Prices start at $119 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 Tour Including Lunch, Scape the Crowd take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Tour Including Lunch, Scape the Crowd worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 4 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 Tour Including Lunch, Scape the Crowd?
+
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 Tour Including Lunch, Scape the Crowd suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 10-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Sacred Valley Tour Including Lunch, Scape the Crowd?
+
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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sacred Valley Tour Including Lunch, Scape the Crowd 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.
