A Sacred Valley Tour is one of the most enriching day trips you can take from Cusco. Nestled between Cusco and Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley is filled with ancient Inca sites, dramatic landscapes, and vibrant Andean culture. At True Mountain Traveler, we’ve carefully crafted our Sacred Valley Tour to help you explore the valley’s top highlights in one well-paced, unforgettable day.

Pisac Ruins and Local Market

We begin our Sacred Valley Tour with a visit to Pisac, home to one of the most impressive Inca archaeological complexes in the region. Our guides lead you through ceremonial temples, stone structures, and agricultural terraces while explaining how the Incas mastered mountain farming. After exploring the ruins, we stop at the traditional Pisac market, where we experience local culture and handcrafted goods.

Moray: The Inca Agricultural Laboratory

Next, we travel to Moray, a unique site featuring circular terraces carved into the earth. During our Sacred Valley Tour, we explain how these terraces were used to experiment with crops at different microclimates. Walking through Moray offers a fascinating look into the scientific knowledge and innovation of the Inca civilization.

Maras Salt Mines: A Living Tradition

One of the most iconic stops on our Sacred Valley Tour is the Maras Salt Mines. Thousands of salt pools line the mountainside, creating a striking landscape. We take time to walk the paths, capture photos, and learn how local families continue harvesting salt using centuries-old techniques passed down through generations.

Ollantaytambo: The Living Inca Town

Our final highlight is Ollantaytambo, a remarkable archaeological site and one of the last remaining Inca towns still in use today. We explore its massive stone terraces, temples, and narrow streets while sharing the site’s historical importance. Ollantaytambo is also the gateway to Machu Picchu, making it an essential part of any Sacred Valley Tour.
