There are so many amazing things to do in the Sacred Valley, from grand Inca ruins in sprawling Archaeological Parks, snow-capped mountains, salt mines, and hundreds of hiking trails to explore there is no shortage of breathtaking and worthwhile experiences. This tour also includes an exhilirating zip line tour through the Sacred Valley offering stunning panoramic views of snow-capped mountains, lush valleys, and the gently flowing river. This day tour never has a dull moment and we gurantee you will walk away with memories that last a lifetime.
Our day begins at 7:30 am when your guide picks you up from your Cusco hotel in our private van. Our journey to the Sacred Valley of the Incas starts with a stop at the Taray viewpoint, offering a breathtaking view of the Urubamba Valley and its traditional farming villages. You’ll witness how the agricultural practices in the Sacred Valley have remained unchanged for centuries, and learn about the foods grown in this enormous valley.
Next, we visit the archaeological site of Pisac, known for its impressive Inca cemetery with over 2,000 tombs. You’ll have the opportunity to explore the intricately engineered farming terraces, the Inca tunnel, and the religious area of this significant citadel. We spend approximately an hour exploring the Inca city before heading to the colorful Pisac market for a 20-minute visit. Explore and learn how they make local jewelry with real silver and ores found locally in Peru.
The highlight of the day is the exhilarating zipline experience. Fill up on adrenaline as you soar through the Sacred Valley’s skies on our hilltop-to-hilltop zipline tour, offering stunning panoramic views of snow-capped mountains, lush valleys, and the gently flowing river. The zipline spans distances ranging from 400 to 600 meters, providing a long lasting rush and a full flying sensation.
Continuing our journey, we reach the colonial town of Maras, where we witness the pre-Inca salt mines known as “salineras”. Passed down through generations, these salt pans and their methods used for salt extraction have remained intact since ancient times. The pink hue of the naturally occurring salt makes it a unique sight to behold.
Our final destination is Ollantaytambo, where we explore the well-preserved Inca village and its massive ruins. Our guide will provide a tour, showcasing the impressive architecture of the Sun Temple atop formidable terraces. Learn about the historical significance of this site during the Spanish conquest. After the tour, we will drive you back to your Cusco hotel, concluding a memorable day in the Sacred Valley.
To ensure your safety during the tour, we provide all the necessary safety equipment such as a harness, helmet, and gloves. It is important to keep these items on at all times. The zipline activity is suitable for people of all ages, but please be aware that there is a suspension bridge that requires balance and some upper body strength.
Before you start the zipline, a trained guide will give you a safety briefing and offer tips to make the most of your experience. However, please note that ziplining is a high-energy activity where you will be secured with ropes and a harness. For this reason, we advise individuals with heart problems, serious medical conditions, or pregnant women not to participate.
Your safety is our utmost priority, and we want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable time.
