About this experience
The Sacred Valley Tour is one of the most popular tours in the region. The Sacred Valley of the Incas was a crucial area for the Inca Empire and it functioned as both an agricultural, spiritual and political center for them.
Throughout its length there are many Inca and Pre-Inca sites that can be found, and the Classic Sacred Valley Tour visits the 2 main sites, Pisac and Ollantaytambo. Lasting a full day, you will get to appreciate the fine works of craftsmanship that the Incas produced and see the beautiful scenery of the Sacred Valley.
On this Extended Sacred Valley Tour we will also visit the archeological site of Moray and the Maras salt mines. On our way back to Cusco we will visit the gorgeous Lake Huaypo (based on time).
