About this experience
Everyone has heard of the Sacred Valley. Its a very nice tour, great to visit and is on the way to Machu Picchu. But have you heard of The South Valley of the Incas? For most people as Cusco, South Valley day tour would be in addition to the Sacred Valley. If you want to get a bit deeper into the real Peru, and do not want to travel the tourist trail, then this is perfect. Slightly less spectacular perhaps than the Sacred Valley but it has a more restrained beauty. Non crowded route, an authentic tour, great variety of sites and less driving from Cusco than the regular Sacred Valley tour.
