At these ruins you will see and learn about different aspects of Inca culture. Here you can see amazing art work etched into the stone and take in the impressive agricultural terraces
You will have the opportunity to interact with local people and buy crafts
The Sacred Valley was a key area of settlement for the Incas. The climate in the valley sustains fertile plains, which allows for a lot of growth, which is unusual for the high Andes. Here, the Incas sculpted the mountain flanks with vast contour terracing and irrigation channels. Our driver and guide will point out the best places to take photos to capture the beauty and vastness of the Sacred Valley.
Terraces of Moray. Moray is made up of three amphitheater-like terraces made by the Incas. These terraces, which are carved deep into the earth in a bowl shape, are thought to have been used as an agricultural laboratory to determine the optimal conditions for growing crops.
salt mines of Maras, which are just 2 miles away. Dating back to colonial times, Maras was considered a salt-producing center. Carved into the mountain side are over 3000 salt pools, which are filled daily by a little stream of water. Once the water evaporates, it leaves behind a glistening patchwork of salt. The salt mines are a great spot to take pictures and capture the amazing beauty of both the Andes and the spectacular Salineras.
We will visit the ruins once we reach Ollantaytambo. This site highlights the remarkable Inka architecture and was built during the Incas heydays. This is an extraordinary Inca site and in addition to the ruins you will see an amazing rock formation representing the Inca god Wiracocha.
We had an amazing experience on the Sacred Valley tour. Everything was perfectly organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. Our guide, Juan, was truly exceptional — knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of the region. He made the entire day unforgettable. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cusco.
Really great experience. Loved learning about all the different sites & our guide was very knowledgeable
The trip was cancelled. Not enough people. I was charged $89 US on my recent credit card. Please advise regarding a refund
What a fantastic tour! Our guide Jaime was excellent, also worth mentioning our driver Celestino. Tania made sure we had everything ready for a wonderful day!
This is a great informative trip, very well organized. Thanks to Juan who made it interesting (in various languages!). It is visible that he is impressed by the Inca culture and wisdom. We learned so much about Incas’ discoveries, science and religious believes. Also very convenient to have the option to end the trip in Ollantaytambo.
Juan was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. It was nice that our tour was only 5 people. The historic sites visited were amazing. I think the itinerary was a bit skewed- we were rushed at sites but seemed to have plenty of time to ‘shop’ at vendors selected by the tour company. We didn’t go to the Pisac market- only a jewelry store. Van was not air conditioned. Not a huge deal but may be a consideration for others.
A very enjoyable day in the Sacred Valley. We visited three Incan sites, the Maras site mines, two 'cultural stops' (which normally we're not keen on as these tend to include forced selling but were actually quite interesting) and stopped for lunch. Jimy, our guide, was extremely knowledgable and passionate about the Incan culture and history. We learnt a lot throughout the day with him. The pace and time at each site is about right. We spent 30-60 minutes at Pisac and Ollantaytambo and 15-30 minutes Maras and Moray. Lunch is quite late in the afternoon, around 2pm, but this is probably unavoidable due to the itinerary and location of each site. I'd suggest bringing snacks. Lunch could be better. It is a buffet-style meal in this big empty hall with very average food, none of it labelled or covered from the flies. We stuck to the plainer options (rice, pasta, etc). I would definitely recommend this tour run by Willka Travel, especially if you are heading to Aguas Calientes/Machu Picchu afterwards like us as we got dropped off in the centre of Ollantaytambo, 5-10 minutes walk from the train station.
We really enjoyed our visit to the sacred valley. This was my second time in the sacred valley, we booked it the evening before, had some correspondence on WhatsApp around pickup and the trip went smoothly. The guide was professional, interesting and spoke across Spanish and English the whole day.
Excellent tour with very knowledgeable guide Jimy who had excellent English and was full of interesting facts .Pisac Moray, the salt mines and Ollantaytambo were all amazing places to visit . Jimy made the experience even better - he is a true professional .
The trip was fantastic ! Our tour guide Mihai was excellent. He was very informative and attentive. His English skills were very good. I would definitely recommend this tour service. It’s perfect for couples , family and friends.
A great way to see scared valley. Really want to go back to stay in Ollantaytambo; maybe next visit.
Amazing experiência! Very cultural and rich! Super recommended If your are visiting Cusco to see Machu Picchu, it's complementary
We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely go again! Thank you for such a nice experience. Highly recommended!
Very enjoyable tour, would highly recommend. Our tour guide Richard was super friendly, enthusiastic and informative.
The tour was really great, just what we expected to be The places we visit were really beautiful The guide was really into his job and conscious, he explain really good and show us the important thing
JC was a great tour guide. He explained the history of the locations very well. He was very patient and attentive to everyone. Would recommend this trip to anyone! Buffet lunch was also good.
While I booked with Willka travel, the tour was handled by another company called 365 bushes. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was great - would have loved a bit more time in Pisac archeological site vs Pisac Town (another shopping stop) the lunch included was not exceptional but ok.
Had a beautiful experience with Mihai on our trip thru the sacred valley!! Absolutely recommend him and the company!! Tom & Luis
Our guide, JC, was amazing explaining every detail of this beautiful and sacred place. All our tours were with this Travel Agency, which I recommend very much!
Richard is an excellent guide. Very informative and made the day really enjoyable. So much information and a lot to see. The day ran very smoothly from collection to the end and I learnt a lot. Beautiful views
This was an amazing trip! Richard was a very knowledgeable guide. He made the day very fun!! The trip had beautiful views the whole way.
The experience is definitely worth the value without being out for 12 hours... It gave me a chance to see the country, enjoy the sites, and take some awesome pictures
We had a great time! Amazing tour and great guide. Cesar was amazing and knew so much info about the sites we visited.
A great experience, the guide César made it easy and fun, The arqueológicas sites are impressive and amazing. A must see when visiting Cusco!
Who loves history will like understand how good farmers Incas was, and will see constructions of pre-Inca period.
A lot of interesting stops. Bilingual guide. A lot of good spots for picture taking Guide included extra stops.
The views were amazing, and our guide, Jimmy, did an awesome job teaching us all about the sites we visited!
amazing guide with a lot of useful and interesting information - it is clearly visible that Jimmy loves his job; we learned a few practical things, all itenerary items were delivered
Tour guide was thorough in his explanation of each site and location. He was patient with us taking pictures and encouraged that we take breaks as needed, cognizant of the effect of the high altitude of the location. The driver of our tour van was less accommodating. The driver seemed impatient and annoyed that we asked to see the marketplace, which was listed as one of the stops on the tour itinerary we purchased.
Very attentive guide, attentive driver, wonderful places visited! Excellent lunch! It's worth it! Congratulations!
It was a great experience, our guide was very kind and attentive, the place of lunch had a lot of variety and full.
Excellent experience. The spectacular guide, very cultured, was a unique opportunity to learn about the Incas and pre-Columbian cultures
The visit was very good, peaceful, we had adequate time at each stop! The Darwin Guide welcomed us very well and showed a lot of knowledge!
Interesting information, Darwin is friendly but speaks very slowly. Tour arrives sometimes at 3 in the afternoon…
Incredible tour, special and magical place. The beauty of the Sacred Valley goes far beyond a beautiful landscape. It brings enormous energy, and the certainty that it was inhabited by superior beings. Guide Ilda was tireless.
Excellent tour, complete with Moray and Salinas but also getting to know some local communities. I was positively surprised by the way they highlighted this. I recommend
Richard's explanations were very interesting, we learned a lot. We had a great time. I highly recommend.
Complete tour, very good guide Mihai Rivas, he did the entire tour in English and Portuguese so that everyone understood. He was patient and gave good explanations. I recommend. We visited beautiful places!
Miguel was very proactive and was very informative in explaining the places and their stories, everything was very practical and easy. Team Mirra 😎🔥🔥
I loved the tour! Guide Richard very attentive...concerned about the people who were feeling the altitude. He gave clear historical explanations. Cleared doubts. Very calm and charismatic. New minibus. Comfortable. Clean. Restaurant with very good and delicious food. I recommend. It cost!
The trip was incredible, we saw impressive places, and our guide was very patient and kind at all times. It's one of the best experiences I've ever had.
You know a little about the history of the Inca culture, the importance of terraces in the Inca culture
A great experience for anyone who wants to get to know the Sacred Valley. We passed four points and had a lunch included
Very good experience, they are punctual, they comply with what is offered. Darwin, an excellent guide, explains very well and is very cool.
Great walk! Even more with the guide Jimmy, who knows everything about the Inca world!!!!! I recommend the tour with him and with Wilka Travel.
