Terraces, markets and Inca towns: the classic Sacred Valley in one day.
This is the valley the Incas chose for its fertile land and its water, and the route most travelers picture when they think of the Sacred Valley. Walk above the terraces of Pisac, take a relaxed lunch in Urubamba and end the day wandering the stone streets of Ollantaytambo. Mountains, river and open sky stay with you from the first stop to the last.
Ideal for: first-time visitors who want the essential Sacred Valley in a single day. In the private service you can adapt the day to what you enjoy most: more time in one place, fewer stops or a different order.
