Super Sacred Valley Tour – Full Day from Cusco

What is included in the Super Sacred Valley Full Day Tour?

The Super Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco includes hotel pickup and drop-off, comfortable tourist transport, a professional bilingual guide, and entrance to the Maras Salt Mines. A buffet lunch in Urubamba is also included. Please note that the Boleto Turístico (tourist ticket) required for Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Moray, and Chinchero is not included and must be purchased separately.

How is this tour different from the classic Sacred Valley tour?

While the classic tour typically visits only three sites, the Super Sacred Valley Tour offers a more comprehensive experience. It includes Chinchero, Moray, Maras Salt Mines, Ollantaytambo, and Pisac in a single day, giving you a deeper look into Inca history and culture. It’s perfect for travelers who want to explore more without needing multiple days.

How long does the Super Sacred Valley Tour last?

This is a full-day tour that lasts approximately 12 hours. We begin with hotel pickup in Cusco around 6:30 AM and return around 6:30 PM. Travel times are balanced with guided visits, cultural experiences, and breaks to ensure a comfortable and enriching day.

Is the tour suitable for all fitness levels?

Yes, the tour is considered easy to moderate in terms of physical demand. While some archaeological sites, like Ollantaytambo and Pisac, require walking on uneven stone steps or light uphill climbs, most travelers in good health can enjoy the tour without difficulty. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

Do I need a tourist ticket (Boleto Turístico) for this tour?

Yes, you’ll need the Boleto Turístico Parcial or General to access sites such as Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Moray, and Chinchero. This ticket is not included in the tour price and can be purchased in advance or on the day of the tour. Your guide will assist you if needed.

What should I bring on the tour?

We recommend bringing your passport, sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), a reusable water bottle, cash in soles for entrance fees or local crafts, and a light jacket for changing weather. Don’t forget your camera—you’ll want to capture the stunning views and historical sites!

Are there vegetarian or vegan options for lunch?

Yes! The buffet lunch in Urubamba includes a variety of options, including vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes. If you have specific dietary restrictions, please let us know in advance so we can inform the restaurant and make the necessary arrangements.

Is it possible to end the tour in Ollantaytambo?

Absolutely. If you’re planning to take a train to Machu Picchu after the tour, we can arrange for you to end the tour in Ollantaytambo instead of returning to Cusco. Please let us know when booking so we can coordinate your drop-off accordingly.

What is the best time of year to take this tour?

The best time to visit the Sacred Valley is during the dry season, from April to October, when the weather is sunny and ideal for sightseeing. However, the tour operates year-round, and the rainy season (November to March) offers lush green landscapes and fewer crowds.

Is this tour family-friendly?

Yes, the Super Sacred Valley Tour is a great choice for families with children or teens. The sites are fascinating and engaging for all ages, and the day is paced to allow for rest, learning, and fun. Let us know if you’re traveling with small children so we can ensure their comfort during the journey.
