The Sacred Valley Combo & Machu Picchu 2-day tour is the perfect combination to maximize your time so you can have a full experience through the Sacred Valley before heading to Machu Picchu.
On the first day we’ll pick you from your hotel and start our journey through the Sacred Valley of the Incas with our first stop in Pisac, following by a visit in Moray and the Salt Mines in Maras.
After the first visits of the day, we’ll have a stop to enjoy a delicious meal in a buffet restaurant in Urubamba before heading to our last visit of the day – the archaeological site of Ollantaytambo. After this visit, we’ll take the train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Town) where your hotel is located.
On the second day it’s time to enjoy your breakfast before heading to the bus station with your guide and go up to Machu Picchu to start your guided tour that takes around 2h. After the tour, take the bus back to Aguas Calientes and do all the train journey back to the destination station and finally the shuttle back to your hotel in Cusco.
Our guide will pick you up from your hotel lobby around 06:45 am. We will begin our journey to the Sacred Valley through a winding road around the mountains in the north of Cusco. Next, we will drive towards the ruins of Pisac. At these ruins, you will see and learn about different aspects of the Inca culture. Here you can see amazing artwork etched into the stone and the impressive agricultural terraces. After exploring this magnificent place, we will drive back to the city of Pisac, to check out the amazing artisanal market! At the market, you will have free time to walk around and do some shopping.
Afterwards, we will continue the trip to the district of Maras – Moray. Moray is made up of three amphitheater-like terraces made by the Incas. These terraces, which are carved deep into the earth in the shape of a basin, are believed to have been used as an agricultural laboratory to determine the optimal conditions for growing crops. After exploring Moray you will head to the Maras Salt Mines which are only 2 miles away. Dating back to colonial times, Maras was considered a salt-producing center. Carved into the mountainside are more than 3,000 salt pools, which are filled daily with a trickle of water. Then we will continue the trip to the province of Urubamba for lunch in a local restaurant where we will enjoy a delicious Andean food. (This meal is included in the tour).
After lunch, we will continue with our adventure in the Valley. We will drive along the Urubamba River towards the city of Ollantaytambo. We will visit the ruins once we reach Ollantaytambo. This site highlights the remarkable Inca architecture that was built during the Incas heydays. This is an extraordinary Inca site and in addition to the ruins, you will see an amazing rock formation representing the Inca God Wiracocha.
After the tour in Ollantaytambo, and based on your train itinerary, you will board the train to Aguas Calientes. Upon arrival at the Aguas Calientes train station, one of our friendly staff members will be waiting outside to escort you to your hotel in Aguas Calientes, where you will be staying for the night. During the briefing at your hotel, you will receive detailed instructions regarding the pickup arrangements and the tour scheduled for the next day.
