The Sacred Valley — the Valle Sagrado — follows the Urubamba River between Pisac and Ollantaytambo. It’s where the Inca grew most of their food and built some of the most intact ruins outside Machu Picchu itself.

Peruways’ Sacred Valley day trips cover the fixed essentials — Pisac’s terraced ruins and market, Moray’s experimental circular terraces, the Maras salt pans and Ollantaytambo’s fortress — plus optional stops in Chinchero for weaving and Urubamba for lunch.

Visit Peruways to book your Sacred Valley day. It pairs naturally with the Machu Picchu trip the following morning: finish in Ollantaytambo, overnight there, catch the first train down the gorge.
