Itinerary
A strategic stop to take in one of the most breathtaking views in the Sacred Valley. From the lookout, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of the mountains, cultivated fields, and Andean communities spread across the valley.
The day's first major stop is Pisac, where you'll explore its important archaeological site, located at roughly 3,300 meters (10,825 ft) above sea level. The site combines Inca architecture, agricultural terraces, and sweeping views of the Sacred Valley. Pisac's altitude is similar to that of Cusco, and the visit is unhurried, giving you time to walk around and take in the site at your own pace.
Get an up-close look at the craftsmanship developed in the region and discover how traditional goldsmithing techniques are still used today to create gold and silver pieces. During the visit, you'll learn more about the methods used by local artisans and the Inca influence visible in the designs and details of their work.
Explore the colorful stalls of Pisac’s traditional handicraft market, featuring handwoven textiles, traditional clothing, ceramics, jewelry, and locally made crafts. Take some time to browse the market, meet local artisans, and find unique pieces inspired by Andean culture.
After a morning devoted to Andean history and culture, it's time for a break to enjoy Peruvian cuisine. At Restaurante Don Angel, you'll be able to sample a variety of dishes representing Peru's three major regions, Coast, Highlands, and Jungle, in a buffet lunch. Urubamba sits at roughly 2,870 meters (9,415 ft) above sea level, lower than both Cusco and Pisac, providing a pleasant opportunity to rest and enjoy the meal before continuing through the Sacred Valley.
Ollantaytambo is one of the most impressive examples of Inca urban planning. Its cobblestone streets, water channels, and well-preserved structures let you see up close the organization and engineering skill developed by the Incas. During the visit, you'll tour the Ollantaytambo archaeological site and have time to explore its structures and admire the surrounding landscape. The town sits at roughly 2,790 meters (9,155 ft) above sea level, lower than Cusco, making this leg of the tour more comfortable for many travelers.
We'll wrap up the experience at Ollantaytambo's main square, where you can continue your journey if you've booked a train to Aguas Calientes, the gateway to Machu Picchu. You can continue on to Aguas Calientes by train, departing from the Ollantaytambo Train Station. If you'd prefer to return to Cusco, the transportation from Ollantaytambo is scheduled to depart at approximately 17:00 h, with an estimated arrival in Cusco around 19:00 h.

Viajes Machu Picchu is a first class outfit to customize a tour of the Inca sites all around Cusco and of course Mach Picchu. Domingo was probably the best tour guide we’ve ever had - for 8 days his energy and enthusiasm never wavered. The drivers and cars were new and comfortable. Worth every cent —— ask for DOMINGO as your Inca guide for the sacred valley.
A wonderful experience

Manuel Usca and Jay were both exceptional tour guides. Manuel was very welcoming, energetic and informative right from the time he picked us up till the moment he dropped us off at the train station. He provided detailed knowledge of Inca history and made it a lively tour. He was very accommodating of our schedule and took extra care by helping us with our itinerary. They both went out of their way to make the entire day a very comfortable and pleasant experience.
Great tour, ask for Walter.
