Super Sacred Valley of the Incas VIP

Itinerary

Day 1 | Full Day

Village of Chincheros

We begin the Super Sacred Valley VIP Tour by picking you up from your hotel at 6:30 AM in our comfortable tourist bus. From Cusco, we head north into the breathtaking Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Our first stop is Chinchero, about 40 minutes from Cusco. This charming village preserves many original Inca traditions and sits in an important agricultural region. You'll visit its colonial church and bell tower, both built atop ancient Inca foundations. You'll also see local artisans showcasing beautiful handmade textiles, crafted using traditional techniques passed down through generations.

Moray Terraces & Maras Salt Mines

By 9:30 AM, we’ll arrive at Moray, a fascinating site made up of circular agricultural terraces built into natural depressions in the land. These terraces were used by the Incas to create microclimates and experiment with growing different crops—an incredible example of their agricultural innovation.

Next, around 11:00 AM, we’ll visit the famous Maras Salt Mines—a stunning network of over 3,000 shallow salt pools that have been in use since pre-Inca times. Managed by about 380 local families, these pools are fed by a natural salty spring that flows from the nearby mountain known as Qoripukiu, meaning "golden spring" in Quechua. The striking white pools surrounded by mountain scenery create a truly unforgettable view.

Buffet Lunch & Sacred Valley Highlights

At 12:30 PM, we’ll arrive in Urubamba to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch, prepared with fresh local ingredients from the Sacred Valley. This is the perfect opportunity to relax and recharge before continuing the tour.

Around 2:00 PM, we’ll visit the impressive archaeological site of Ollantaytambo, a former Inca administrative, military, and religious center. Known for its massive stone structures and strategic location, it played a key role in controlling access between different ecological zones. Its perfectly fitted stonework and terraces are a clear reflection of the Inca's incredible architectural skills.

At 4:00 PM, we’ll explore Pisac, named after the Quechua word "P’isaca" (partridge). This archaeological complex features an extensive system of agricultural terraces with irrigation channels, which allowed the Incas to grow the region’s prized giant white corn, parcay sara. During the visit, you’ll explore its religious, residential, and agricultural areas, all built high on the mountain slopes following Inca traditions. We’ll also visit the famous Pisac market, originally a local trading space that has now expanded to offer a variety of artisan crafts and souvenirs.

Finally, we return to Cusco, arriving at around 7:00 PM.
