The full day experience through the Sacred Valley of the Incas is a full day tour that visits all of the four main historical sites of the Sacred Valley in one day: Pisac, Maras, Moray and Ollantaytambo. The first stop of the day is Pisac where you’ll visit the famous Pisac and get in contact with the local culture, and the Ruins of Pisac famous for the inca terraces and an ancient inca cemetery. Next stop is Moray, the Inca’s Agricultural Lab, famous for the circular terraces, and the amazing Maras Salt Mines with more than 3000 natural salt pools. After stop for lunch in Urubamba before heading to our final destination: Ollantaytambo. Ollantaytambo is known as one of the last “living testaments” of the Incas in Peru because it was built upon Incan fundamentals and groundworks. The Incan irrigation system still works and water runs through stone canals on the sides of streets.

They were a bit late to...

They were a bit late to pick me up, but were pretty good at communicating throughout. Raul was our guide and he was super informative and passionate about the Sacred Valley. The tour is pretty mild in terms of activity, but you do have the option to go up to the temple and it’s quite a number of stairs at high altitude so take your time. I think the textiles and metal making shops could be skipped - it felt a little pushy, but we didn’t spend too much time there. Overall, would recommend this tour.0

ATV Tour to Moray Maras and Salt Mines in the Sacred Valley

Amazing ATV Adventure to Moray & Maras

Communication with the tour company was challenging since it took several messages before we received a response. However, the actual tour with our tour guide was amazing. Our family of 4, including 2 teens, ended up having a private tour. Our tour guide, Joel, was professional and knowledgeable. It was a 50-min ride from our hotel to the ATV base camp. After receiving instructions, we practiced at base camp for 10 min before heading out. It was our teen daughter’s first time driving an ATV and she quickly got the hang of it thanks to the clear instructions. It wasn’t stated on the website but there is an additional nominal fee of 3 soles per person paid to the local community of Cruzpata to compensate for the ATVs traveling through the village. The ATV ride from the base camp to Moray took about 45 min each way. It was a beautiful scenic ride and we enjoyed every minute of it. Joel even took a video of us riding our ATVs. Moray was beautiful! Joel explained its history and then we had about 20 min to explore on our own. He was also kind enough to take family photos for us. After Moray, we headed to Maras. We knew in advance (based on other reviews) that there wouldn’t be time for lunch so we packed food and snacks to eat during the 20-min bus ride to Maras. The salt mines were stunning. Afterwards, we stopped at a shop for salted chocolate tasting. We ended up buying some souvenirs. Our teens said that this tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Cusco.

Very nice tour, the team was experienced, ready to quickly solve any challenges. The hike is tough and you need a lot of focus to keep going. The view at the top is absolutely worth it, you can almost touch the energy surrounding the mountain. Breakfast and lunch were also good.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable on this tour, and the driver was able to take us to all of the impressive Inca sites in a timely manner without rushing the tour group too much. The guide was also a good photographer. The buffet lunch was also good and had a wide range of options. Note: this is not the fault of this tour organizer, but I recommend bringing toilet paper, because the bathrooms at the Inca sites themselves did not have any available to visitors.

Excursion to Rainbow Mountain Full Day Optional Red Valley

Amazing experience, Amazing Guide Heber, Incredible value

The weather was not too good, it was raining and actually the mountain was covered with snow. However, it makes the experience even more unique. I was picked up in front of my hotel, and then a long ride to the restaurant for breakfast (it was excellent). We continued the ride to the trail head. Heber, our guide, gave us some info and help us decide if we need a horse ride. I chose the horse, and it was the right decision, given the weather and the altitude, I won't be able to walk up even I am fit enough to run a half marathon. When I got off the horse, there was still around an hour of hike at high altitude. It was tough. Different groups are identified by the color of the walking stick. At the top Heber actually looked for us (as the group got scattered) and made sure we are OK, and took some amazing picture of me. The hike down was fine, and it took a bit more than an hour. After the hike we went to the same restaurant for lunch. Excellent food. Then we rode back to Cusco and got dropped off at the main square. Overall, incredible experience and I still can't believe I paid such a low price.

Once in a life time...

Once in a life time experience. Roy was a phenomenal tour guide of Machu Picchu. His knowledge was top notch. He also took amazing photos of my husband and I. From start to finish this tour group made us feel comfortable and taken care of. We were picked up at our hotel, dropped off at train station and they had someone waiting for us at the train to make sure we got in our bus.

Book it now!

I would do this again in a heart beat! This entire experience was well packaged, seamlessly coordinated and well paced. The host was very warm and friendly and super responsive. There was a slight change to the time on our itinerary and that was communicated well in advance. In any event, that change made the experience even more worthwhile! It was definitely an adrenaline filled tour that made me crave more! We got to rainbow mountain without the difficulty of a hike but still had the opportunity to hike parts of it, if we opted to. I enjoyed myself and would recommend !

Moray, Maras Salt Mines & Chinchero Weavers

Enjoyable tour, seeing the countryside surrounding Cusco, the Saltmines and the process of weaving from start to finish. The driver was good & the guide Hipo was very good. Hipo spoke very good English & explained things very clearly & invited everyone to ask questions.

Great, efficient way to see the Sacred Valley

It was great getting a private tour of the key sights of the Sacred Valley, our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable. It was so efficient getting from place to place with just us vs having to wait for others on a larger tour, and also having the flexibility to stop when we needed to. Definitely recommend this tour!

We had a great time on this tour. Jorge was our tour guide and he was very informative. We did a lot and never felt rushed. We were even added bonus stops as chocolate, salt and chicha (inca beer) tasting. Lunch was also delicious with many options to choose from! I highly recommend this tour and Jorge as a guide!

A beautiful site !

It was an incredible hike with so much to see! It is difficult if you’re not a hiker so I def recommend riding the horse up. The families that rent them are really kind and help guide you up. Our tour guide Joel was amazing and so kind. He consistently checked in on us the whole time to ensure we were having a great time!
