What To Expect

Get up close and personal with the culture of the ancient Inca civilization as you explore the main archaeological sites of the Sacred Valley near the empire’s former capital of Cusco. History lovers are sure to delight in this chance to explore this beautiful mountain valley, harboring a wealth of important Inca sites.

Start your day with a morning pickup from your hotel in Cusco, continuing first to the historic city of Pisac. The city was once known as a key trading post, offering a central location for Inca traders to barter for goods. The tradition persists to this day at Pisac’s well-known market, offering you the opportunity to browse for a wealth of handcrafted textiles and souvenirs made by the local community.

If you happen to be visiting Pisac on a Sunday, witness the town’s famous mass, conducted in both Quechua and Spanish. Observe the town’s collection of dignitaries in attendance, and watching as they play the pututo, a traditional musical instrument.

Take a break after finishing your time in Pisac with a tasty lunch of Peruvian specialties, continuing to the Fortress of Ollantaytambo (entrance not included) to discover its impressive Temple of the Sun. During the Incan civil war, this imposing structure’s 12-foot (3.5-m) stones served as a key defensive barrier.

After finishing your exploration of Ollantaytambo, continue back to your Cusco hotel.

      Our tour guide Alan is a native from Ollantayambo and he really went the extra mile with our party. I would recommend this tour.

      Arielle_I, Nov 2021
      Really wonderful day. Great tour guide, informative but also gave us some free time to wander a bit at the sites and in the market. Good way to see multiple sites in a day.
      A great trip
      Jes, Aug 2021
      Me and my partner had lots of fun on this trip. We had great food, great views, and a great guide. He was super helpful and even gave us some great recommendations on what to do on our last two days in the area. This was one of the best experiences I've had.
      Legit, and amazing tour!
      Africa_L, Aug 2021
      Excelente experience, they were on time to pick me up on my Airbnb, that was fantastic! Transportation was amazingly clean with all the safety measures for a sanitized area, they provided hand sanitizer at all times. My tour guy, Abdon Alejo was very knowledgeable and learned a lot from all the areas we visited, he was friendly and respectful at all times. As traveling by my self that was very important to me. The restaurant we visited at lunch time was amazing with a great service. I will recomend this experience 100%
      Great

      Great Tour
      Claire_S, Dec 2019
      I really enjoyed the length and price of this tour. Riding around the Sacred Valley was absolutely beautiful and our guide had interesting facts to give us throughout the day. The market that was visited was probably the best I visited in Peru and lunch was delicious. Would 10/10 recommend.
      Great Day Tour
      Linda_P, Nov 2019
      A very interesting day out, lovely craft markets and Inca ruins with time to explore on your own! Good lunch too!
      Not worth it
      Mykhaylo_S, Nov 2019
      Two first stops were for sales. Shop and a big market in Pisac. A tour guide just left us for an hour to walk around. The time was wasted. The lunch was very good. I wish there were more history and information about the country from the guide. The only thing that was worth visiting is Fortress of Ollantaytambo. Please consider the possibility to include Pisac ruins in this day trip as well.

      A great tour of the Sacred Valley and tour company Viajes Pacifico. The Guide was from Ollantaytambo and was very knowledgeable! The included lunch was awesome, a full buffet with lots to choose from.
      Ernesto is the man!!
      Anzalone24, Oct 2019
      The tour itself was very well rounded, went to all the great spots..had a good amount of time to ourselves and the stops that we went to for markets to sell us stuff we learned a great deal about the culture so I didn’t feel like they were just trying to get us to buy things.Ernesto is phenomenal!!!! He was so knowledgeable, welcomed Any questions and you could tell he was so passionate about his work! He really made the trip enjoyable! The lunch buffet! Location beautiful and food was so good! Lastly the driver was so good at driving a big bus up and down curvy mountain roads!

      Be Carefull....All Inclusions Not Honored
      Tracy_W, Sep 2019
      One of the reasons my husband and I selected this tour from the tour company VIAJES PACIFICO was because hotel pick up and drop off were included. The day before our excursion, we received a message from VIAJES PACIFICO stating the Wyndham Cusco Saqsayhuaman Hotel was not a hotel and we would therefore have to take a taxi to and from their main office for our excursion. We did not have time to cancel and book with a different travel agency so had to pay extra for taxi services. What was most confusing to us is that our excursion the day before was also through VIAJES PACIFICO and they did pick us up and drop us off at our hotel for our Machu PIcchu excursion. I would not recommend this tour company since they do not honor the inclusions they state you are paying for. Our email to this company requesting a discount or taxi fees be paid, has still not been returned to date.
      Response from Host, Sep 2019
      Dear Tracy11874, We regret all the disadvantages your husband and you went through when taking this excursion. We made the proper investigation of your case with the department in charge of this; first of all we would like to apologize for this misunderstanding and the issues it caused. We identify the mistake in telling you that the Wyndham Cusco Saqsayhuaman Hotel wasn’t a hotel when in fact this is an actual hotel, the confusion was created due to the pick –up points where some of them are consider as pick-up points depending on the taken tour – for your Machu Picchu Day Trip from Cusco excursion your hotel was a pick up point because is on the way and its access is not difficult to get- , unfortunately for your Sacred Valley, Pisac and Ollantaytambo Full-Day Tour from Cusco excursion the Wyndham Cusco Saqsayhuaman Hotel is not on the way that’s why we asked to meet in our main office; this information is also published on the web page- it is found in the “Departure & Return” section- where it specifies: “TOUR DEPARTS FROM DOWNTOWN CUSCO HOTELS. THE TOUR INCLUDES ROUNDTRIP TRANSFER FROM YOUR HOTEL IN CUSCO DOWNTOWN. IF YOUR HOTEL IS LOCATED IN AN AREA OUTSIDE THIS ZONE, YOU MAY GO TO OUR CUSCO HEAD OFFICE LOCATED AT AV. EL SOL 817.” (https://www.viator.com/tours/Cusco/Sacred-Valley-Pisac-and-Ollantaytambo-Full-Day-Tour-from-Cusco/d937-5243CUSPIS?localeSwitch=1) In order to make up for this bad experience we are willing to attend the taxi fees requested. We kindly request to send us an e-mail to: Calidad@vipac.pe so we can have a faster communication. Once again, we regret the incidents that took place. Our departments will continue working harder in order to assure our service quality. Yours sincerely, Viajes Pacífico.
      Great
