Tour Map

The Sacred Valley Tour VIP Maras Moray feels like a mix of epic views, peaceful villages and ancient Inca history. This tour will give us a fun and relaxed way to see the best spots in one day. Super Tour Machu Picchu operates at a slow pace on this route and therefore the altitude does not seem challenging and the journey is not uncomfortable. The entire atmosphere is to take up the valley at a slow pace.

We are going to traverse broad valleys, color marketplaces and spectacular archeological locations which demonstrate how intelligent the Incas were. Each of the stops unites us with the scenery enveloping the Inca Trail and the Andes epicentre. With a friendly tour guide, things are always clear, simple and interesting hence there is never the feeling of overwhelming. The day is honest and unforgettable as people can appreciate local crafts, excellent views, and authentic Andean culture.

 

At the end we will leave behind us with a deeper attachment towards the Sacred Valley Of The Incas. The landscape, narrations and individuals are what make it memorable as we continue to experience it even after the tour is over. This Sacred Valley Tour From Cusco sets the tone for exploring more of Cusco in a fun, easygoing way.

The tour starts at 6:45 a.m. from the Super Tour Machu Picchu office at Portal Nuevo 270, Plaza Regocijo, Cusco. We will drive toward the Sacred Valley in comfortable transport, enjoying scenic views along the way. Our first stop is Chinchero, where we will explore Inca ruins, a colonial church, and observe traditional weaving techniques using natural dyes.

Next, we will visit Moray, famous for its circular agricultural terraces. We will learn how the Incas used this site for experimental farming and take time to explore and photograph the terraces. A short drive brings us to the Maras Salt Mines, where thousands of salt ponds create a striking landscape. We will walk among the ponds and learn about traditional salt harvesting while exploring local artisanal stalls.

Around 12:30 p.m., we will stop in Urubamba for a buffet lunch featuring traditional Peruvian cuisine. After lunch, we will continue to Ollantaytambo, visiting the Temple of the Sun, Inca terraces, and water channels. We will explore the fortress and understand its historical significance. The tour then proceeds to Pisac, known for its extensive terraces and panoramic views of the valley. We will take time to explore and photograph the site.

After Pisac, we will return to Cusco, arriving between 6:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. The route covers the main highlights of the Sacred Valley, combining history, culture, and spectacular landscapes. We will travel comfortably and efficiently, ensuring time to enjoy each site fully.
