Itinerary Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu Connection
Day 1: Sacred Valley Tour
From 8:00 am and 8:30 AM, we will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco to begin our journey to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Along the way, we’ll stop at the scenic viewpoints of Qorao and Taray to enjoy breathtaking views and learn a bit from our guide.
Next, we’ll visit the archaeological site of Pisaq, located about one hour from Cusco. This important Incan site once served as an agricultural center. We’ll have a two-hour guided tour before heading to the town of Pisaq, home to the area’s most popular artisan market.
We’ll then continue to Urubamba, passing through traditional towns like Coya, Lamay, and Calca along a picturesque route.
At around 12:00 PM, we’ll arrive in Urubamba for lunch.
Our next stop is the town of Ollantaytambo, often referred to as the place where the Inca lived due to its well-preserved original layout. We'll explore the archaeological site of the same name at around 16:00 PM.

Day 2: Guided Visit to Machu Picchu
Early in the morning, we will take the bus up to Machu Picchu. At the site, you’ll be immersed in the mysterious beauty and unmatched engineering precision of the Incas, which earned Machu Picchu its place among the New Seven Wonders of the World.
