The 15 Best Sacred Valley Tours from Cusco

43 tours  ·  from $15 a head

The valley floor sits 600 metres below Cusco, which makes it the sane place to spend your first days. These 15 sort Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Moray and the Maras salt pans by price, by how much driving each involves and by which ones end at the train.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 395 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $84

Spend about 10 hours touring Pisac and Ollantaytambo from Cusco. Browse handmade goods, learn about Quechua culture, climb to the Temple of the Sun, and eat a Peruvian buffet lunch.

“Olllataytambo was magnificent, the sun temple was the biggest highlight. Also very much enjoyed the alpaca/yarn tour and shopping in Pisac. However our opinion is that lunch should not be last on the schedule—we didn’t get to lunch until 3. Perhaps eat before entering the ruins.”

“We booked this tour quite last minute, and were glad we did! The whole tour was really well run, the guides were great teachers and really looked out for you. The scenery was also spectacular on the way to Moray and the Salt Mines, which were both very interesting sites. Highly recommend this tour. 👋”
