SACRED VALLEY TOUR FROM CUSCO AIRPORT
Start your private Sacred Valley tour directly from Cusco Airport and head into the region as soon as you land. This allows you to make the most of your arrival day rather than spend it settling into the city. Your private vehicle and professional local guide meet you at the airport before you begin your tour.
Depending on your arrival time, you can follow one of two routes. One includes the Maras Salt Mines, Moray, and Ollantaytambo, while the other visits the Pisac and Ollantaytambo archaeological sites. Your tour ends at your hotel in Urubamba or at Ollantaytambo train station if you are continuing to Machu Picchu that same day.
Your private Sacred Valley tour from Cusco Airport includes airport pickup, private transportation, entrance tickets, and a professional guide. It is a convenient way to start visiting the Sacred Valley on the day you arrive in Peru.
Itinerary
Day 1: Sacred Valley Tour from Cusco Airport Itinerary
Your Sacred Valley tour begins with pickup directly at Cusco Airport. From there, you travel toward the Sacred Valley, passing through Cusco (3,399 masl), the former capital of the Inca Empire and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The valley sits at a lower elevation than Cusco, making it a comfortable place to begin your visit to the region.
Along the way, stop at the Taray viewpoint for panoramic photographs of the valley. Continue to Pisac (3,350 masl) to visit its impressive Inca archaeological site, known for its extensive agricultural terraces and stone structures. If time permits, you can also browse the traditional market, where local vendors sell handicrafts and textiles.
Next, travel to Urubamba (2,871 masl), where you can enjoy lunch before continuing to Ollantaytambo (2,846 masl). Alternatively, you can have lunch in Ollantaytambo, depending on your schedule. This living Inca town is known for its remarkable archaeological site, featuring massive stone terraces, ceremonial structures, and ancient stone streets. After your visit, you can be dropped off at your hotel or at Ollantaytambo train station if you are traveling to Machu Picchu.
