Sacred Valley, Pisac and Ollantaytambo Full day Tour

Sacred Valley Day Tour Explores the Heart of the Incan Empire

The Sacred Valley Day Tour from Cusco offers a full-day journey through one of Peru’s most historically and culturally significant regions. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Sacred Valley was once a vital center of the Incan Empire, and today it showcases a remarkable blend of archaeological heritage, traditional culture, and dramatic Andean landscapes.

The tour includes visits to key archaeological and cultural sites such as Pisac, known for its hillside ruins and traditional market, Ollantaytambo Fortress, a monumental example of Incan stone engineering, and Chinchero, a vibrant town famous for its colorful artisan market and cultural traditions. Plaza El Regocijo is also featured as a cultural reference point that connects Cusco’s historic identity with the broader legacy of the Sacred Valley.

Along the journey, travelers are immersed in both history and local life, gaining insight into the ancient civilization that shaped much of pre-Columbian South America. Each site reveals unique aspects of Incan architecture, agriculture, and community life, set against the backdrop of towering mountains and fertile valley landscapes.

A highlight of the experience is a buffet lunch served in Urubamba, where guests can enjoy traditional Peruvian cuisine in a peaceful mountain setting. This pause in the itinerary allows time to relax and appreciate the natural beauty that defines the region.
