Itinerary
Ollantaytambo is the last living Inca village that preserves the designs of Inca buildings at an altitude of 2,900 meters located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Among the most impressive attractions of this place are the Temple of the Sun, The temple has a set of superimposed terraces that are accessed by a steep staircase. The fortress is a stone pyramid that was built between two mountains to protect the valley. In the area there is also the mountain called Pinkuylluna or Tunupa, which holds vestiges of Inca architectural structures that seem to have been a warehouse for various food products. Ollantaytambo is undoubtedly a meeting place for nearby communities, who can be recognized by their ponchos and hats.
Moray is the place where agriculture begins, since the most important agricultural laboratory was located here, where seeds from different plants were adapted and later seeds adapted to different ecological levels were produced, a place that is located more than 3,500 meters above sea level.
The salt mines are a fantastic place, unique in the world. The salt comes from the mountains from a natural source with salt water which fills each of the wells. These wells have provided salt for hundreds of years in an artisanal way. Without a doubt, it is a place that you must visit.
Pisac offers us some impressive landscapes of the Andes mountain range. In this place the Incas built many agricultural terraces and warehouses or granaries. In this area the Andean people preserve the varieties of potatoes that we have and we can also visit the craft market.

We had an absolutely fantastic and unforgettable trip to the Sacred Valley! From start to finish, the entire experience was flawless, and we couldn't be happier with how everything went. Our local guide, Cesar, was simply brilliant. He has an incredible, deep knowledge of the region, local customs, and everyday life in Peru. He didn't just show us the sites; he truly brought the history and culture to life. What touched us the most was how well he took care of us. I was feeling a bit sick during the trip, and Cesar went above and beyond to adjust the pace and ensure I was completely comfortable the entire time. His care and attentiveness turned what could have been a difficult day into an amazing experience. Our driver, Pablo (apologies if I misremembered the name!), was also wonderful. Navigating the roads in the Sacred Valley can be challenging, but he drove so safely and smoothly that we felt completely secure and relaxed throughout the whole journey. This was a truly magical trip that we will remember forever. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Peru!
Cesar was an amazing guide! He was a lot of fun to spend the day with and incredibly knowledgeable, explaining so much about Peru—from its history and current events to the Inca civilization. He planned the itinerary perfectly to avoid the crowds, which made the experience so much more enjoyable. The car was very comfortable, and he even helped me get some great drone shots along the way. I highly recommend touring with Cesar!
Cesar is a fabulous guide. I’ve travelled all over the world and met lots of guides and he is by far my favorite. He treats you like family, plans for all the possibilities, and really wants to make sure you have the best possible time. His car was clean and comfy, he even held onto our souvenirs and bags for us when we went to Machu Picchu. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Cesar!
Cesar was a wonderful tour guide and has a great knowledge of the area. We really enjoyed our day with him.
Cesar is an excellent guide. He is personable, funny and very knowledgeable. He is happy to adapt to your interests. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a private tour
Cesar is an incredible guide who shows us things about his country I never would have seen if we hadn’t gone through him. We saw Pisac, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu then we were in Cusco for 5 days during which we also went to Vinicunca and so many city sights in Cusco. He had restaurant recommendations that were always right on point. He had set up so many things for us that the trip felt seamless and everything was perfect. This was the trip of a lifetime and Cesar is the one who made this dream a reality.
We did a 1 day private Sacred Valley tour with Cesar, who was a great guide. He arranged our pickup the day before, picked us up from our hotel, and dropped us off where we wanted in Cusco afterwards. He was very proactive about teaching us about the area, sites, culture, language, etc. We got to see several sites but never felt rushed.
I first met Cesar through a friend’s recommendation from her previous trip to Peru. I strongly recommend Cesar’s professional tour guide services. Cesar is a friendly, patient, communicative, and respectful. I felt very safe with him as my tour guide because he is knowledgeable in navigating the logistics and coordination of the tour. Cesar took great care of my friend and I during the Sacred Valley of the Incas Tour. He made sure we were happy and comfortable. We learned about the wonderful history, culture and way of life from Cesar. I fully recommend Cesar to people who are new to Peru and returning travelers to Peru. He is a kind gentleman who is eager to share his love of Peru with travelers from all walks of life.
Cesar and Ollidon were amazing as our guide and driver. First, I typically get motion sickness easily. However, Ollidon was the first driver navigating winding and James traffic where I didn't get sick... Amazing! Plus he was kind and very safe. Secondly, Cesar was a wonderful guide and so easy to spend time with. He had the best eye for pictures and also very knowledgeable. I learned a lot from listening to him. If I go back to Cusco, will definitely ask for both of them again.
*Excelente Opinión sobre un Guía en el Valle Sagrado* *Inglés:* "César is an outstanding guide in the Sacred Valley! Not only does he have incredible knowledge of the history and culture, but he also has tremendous patience, especially with kids. He made our family tour incredibly engaging and fun for everyone, regardless of age. His ability to connect with both adults and children made the experience truly recommended
"César was an exceptional guide on our tour of the Sacred Valley! His knowledge of the history, culture, and geography of the area was impressive, and he brought the sites to life with his passion and enthusiasm. His expertise made the experience truly unforgettable. Highly recommend!"
We booked a private Sacred Valley tour with César and it was hands down one of the highlights of our trip to Peru. If you are considering a guide for the Sacred Valley, you absolutely HAVE to book with him. We visited Ollantaytambo, Moray, and the Maras salt mines, and César brought each place to life with the perfect mix of history, culture, and storytelling. He doesn’t just recite facts—he makes you feel the history, pointing out details you’d never notice on your own and connecting everything together in a way that made the Sacred Valley even more magical. On top of being incredibly knowledgeable, César is also warm, funny, and genuinely passionate about sharing his culture. He tailored the day around our interests, made the pacing comfortable, and even gave us great tips for photos and local spots we never would have found otherwise. This wasn’t just a tour—it felt like spending the day with a friend who knows everything about the Sacred Valley. We left with such a deeper appreciation for Peru and its history because of him. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Easily the best guide we’ve ever had anywhere in the world. Book César—you’ll be so glad you did.
We did a tour with Cesar in the Valle Sagrado, which also included mountain biking. This was one of our favorite days during our visit to Cusco and the surrounding area! Cesar and crew made our day a blast. Highly recommend taking a tour with them!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An exceptional day in the Sacred Valley with César We were lucky enough to discover the Sacred Valley with César, and this day will clearly remain one of the best memories of our trip to Peru. César is a passionate guide, extremely cultured, and deeply attached to the history and culture of his country. His knowledge of the Inca civilization, archaeological sites, local traditions, and the history of the Sacred Valley is impressive. He does not just recite information: he takes the time to explain, to tell anecdotes, and to answer all questions with great precision and passion. Beyond his knowledge, César is an adorable, attentive, and very professional person. Thanks to him, we really felt like we understood what we were discovering and not just visiting tourist sites. An exceptional experience from start to finish. If you wish to discover the Sacred Valley with someone who knows the region perfectly and who truly loves sharing their culture, I recommend César with my eyes closed. Thank you César for this magnificent day! 🇵🇪❤️
A private tour with Cesar as a very great guide. Private tour with pickup in Cusco. Great explanations and a very successful day.
The best experience I could live we knew the heart of the sacred valley in each small town and learn from its customs Caesar took it upon himself to show us the deepest of the culture in a short time and now we carry in our memory all those places that we could know Thank you!!
attentive guide with great knowledge
I made this trip as a solo traveler and it was an amazing experience. I visited the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Cusco and many more places along the way. My guide, Caesar, was very friendly and informative. Thanks to him, all the places were even more interesting. I felt very comfortable traveling alone and am very grateful to Caesar for his help. I highly recommend it as a guide. If you take a tour with him, you won't regret it.
🏔️ The experience of visiting the Sacred Valley goes far beyond seeing ancient ruins. It is to immerse yourself in a sacred landscape where history is not a memory, but part of the present. The combination of the grandeur of sites such as Ollantaytambo, the authenticity of the markets and workshops, and the serenity of the landscapes, creates a powerful and memorable experience.
Excellent tours of Cesar we have travelled virtually all Cusco Incredible places and beno Cesar is a professional.
