About this experience
Discover the best of the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu on an exclusive 2-day tour designed for those looking for an authentic and unhurried experience. Unlike massive tours, this small group tour (maximum 10 people) allows you to explore four iconic sites of the Sacred Valley: Chinchero, Moray, Minas de Sal and Ollantaytambo, accompanied by an expert guide in English and Spanish who will reveal the hidden history of each place.
Enjoy comfortable transfers from the doorstep of your hotel in Cusco, travel in modern and safe vehicles, and spend the night in a cozy hotel in Aguas Calientes. The next day, prepare for an unforgettable experience in Machu Picchu at dawn, avoiding crowds and enjoying every moment. We include a nutritious breakfast to make the most of the day.
This is not just any tour: it is an experience designed for those seeking quality, comfort and an authentic connection with Andean history and culture.
