With a rich array of archaeological sites and breathtaking scenery, joining a full-day Sacred Valley tour from Cusco is a no-brainer when in Peru. The region is far more than just ancient ruins, though, with small museums, timeless towns, and a brimming tradition that’ll make any trip a memorable one.
During this day trip, you’ll visit the Inca ruins of Pisac Town, Ollantaytambo, and Moray. Many archeologists consider these landmarks to be some of the original cities of the Inca civilization, so their historical significance has no bounds.
There are a few more destinations you can add to your tour to make it a unique affair. These include an Alpaca Farm near Cusco, the famous Taray Viewpoint, and Pisac’s local market. Coya Town and Lamay Town (where you’ll find the best cuy) can also be visited. Claca Town (where the famous Lares to Machu Picchu trek begins) is also in the area. The Urubamba Village is the best place for us to stop for lunch, and a Yanahuara is perfect for those wanting to taste Chicha, also known as corn beer.
Take all these fantastic stops and the magical views of the Urubamba River — which feeds the Amazon River — and you’ve got a special day in store. So, if you’ve already been on a day tour to Machu Picchu, it’s time to join this day tour of the Sacred Valley.
The best Sacred Valley is waiting for you!
