This is a tour package for those who love to explore more cultural places in a couple days. This Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour allows you to discover some of the most outstanding spots in Cusco. You'll get to visit the Chinchero Inca Complex, a wonderful place where you can see huge farming terraces, Inca temples, and colonial churches. It's the perfect place to compare two different cultures. Moray Inca Complex, a great spot to learn about farming techniques; the salt mines of Maras, which have been used since pre-Inca times; Ollantaytambo, one of the largest Inca complexes along the Sacred Valley; and on the final day, visit Machu Picchu, the new seven wonders.

What makes this tour special is that you'll explore more places in only two days and enjoy the train ride from the Andes towards the lush forest. Spend a night in the beautiful Aguas Calientes town with the option to join the hot springs and explore Machu Picchu early in the morning before it turns crowded.

Of course! This tour is available for everyone; just make sure if we have a formed group leaving that date you want to travel. We operate this tour with a minimum of two people.

We include one lunch along the Sacred Valley tour, a dinner in Aguas Calientes town, and breakfast at the hotel on the second day. Other meals are not included; however, your tour guide will recommend a great restaurant where you can get some meals.

The pick-up time will depend on how big the group is. We usually pick up our customers between 7 and 7:30 a.m. to join the Sacred Valley tour. And for the Machu Picchu tour, we depart early, about 5:00 a.m.

The train ride from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes takes around 1,40 hours.

Yes, the Sacred Valley of the Incas is located on the way to Machu Picchu, and what a perfect way to explore this iconic ancient site with some stops along the way. Definitely worth it.

Of course! We can also organize your Sacred Valley with Machu Picchu tour from Urubamba or Ollantaytambo.

Definitely, because Machu Picchu tickets must be booked in advance, especially during the high season (May to August), it will help us secure your ticket early in the morning and get the best circuit for you.

This is not a very demanding tour because you will mostly get to those places by bus and riding the train. The only places that you need to hike are while you are visiting the different Inca sites on the Sacred Valley tour and Machu Picchu.

All hotels in Cusco offer free storage while you are on the tours; they will keep these until your return; even if you change hotels, they can keep them. If you stay at the Airbnb, we have storage available in the Vidal Expeditions office. Get more information from our office team.

The weather in Cusco and parts of the Andes is unpredictable, even if the weather forecast says it’s sunny. We can’t trust it. It is an impossible question for us to answer. Historically, April through September is the dry season; November through February is the rainy season; and March and October are bridge months—a mixture of both. But the clouds have not followed these rules in the last few years. Prepare for the sun and rain, no matter when you come. As far as temperatures go, that is consistent throughout the year. Mornings and evenings are always cold. Make sure to bring a fleece jacket for the mornings and a down jacket for the evenings. Once the sun is up, you should be comfortable hiking in short sleeves. Long pants (for yoga or hiking) are encouraged to protect against mosquitoes, which can be a nuisance in some parts of the trail.
