Peruways runs guided trips through the Sacred Valley, the stretch of the Urubamba River between Cusco and Machu Picchu. The valley holds the two best-preserved Inca towns outside the citadel itself — Pisac and Ollantaytambo — along with the terraces, salt pans, and Andean farming villages that supported the empire’s heartland.

Tours mix the archaeological sites with workshops in weaving villages like Chinchero, lunch at a local restaurant, and stops at Pisac’s artisan market. Expect to be out from Cusco for a full day, or an overnight stay in Urubamba if you want more time.
