Short on time but hungry for adventure? The Super Sacred Valley Tour is our most comprehensive itinerary, curated specifically for those who want to witness the full grandeur of the Incan Empire in a single, seamless day. This experience bridges the gap between history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes.
If you are seeking a Sacred Valley VIP experience that transcends the typical tourist trail, this is your gateway to the authentic Andes. Our curated Super Sacred Valley Tour meticulously syncs the ‘genius’ of Incan engineering at Moray and Maras with the raw beauty of ancient citadel ruins. By optimizing our timing to avoid peak-hour crowds, we ensure your journey through Chinchero, Ollantaytambo, and Pisac feels like a private discovery rather than a standard excursion blending high-value adventure with the deep, silent history of the Incas.
Experience the Andes through the eyes of the ancients. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a deep dive into the soul of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. We avoid the mass-tourism bubbles, focusing instead on the raw textures of Andean life and the hidden engineering marvels that defined an empire.
Our journey begins as the mist rises over the high plains. Chinchero is a sensory awakening where the earth meets the sky. Here, the clacking of looms tells stories of a 500-year-old textile tradition.
We step beyond the souvenir stalls to explore the colonial church, a masterpiece of syncretism built directly upon the massive stone foundations of an Inca palace. This is where history feels heavy and real, far from the polished feel of typical tourist hubs.
We venture into the heart of Inca ingenuity. Moray is an awe-inspiring agricultural laboratory, circular terraces carved into the earth like a natural amphitheater. Each level creates its own microclimate, a testament to a civilization that mastered nature without destroying it.
A short distance away, the landscape shifts to the brilliant white of the Maras Salt Mines. Over 3,000 salt ponds spill down the mountainside, fed by a subterranean saline spring. This is a rare chance to witness ancestral salt harvesting, a practice that has remained unchanged for centuries, producing some of the finest pink salt in the world.
We recharge in the heart of the valley. Urubamba provides the perfect backdrop for a culinary pause. Our lunch features locally sourced ingredients,from giant Andean corn to native potatoes, celebrating the “farm-to-table” philosophy that has existed here long before it was a trend.
In Ollantaytambo, the line between the past and present disappears. As the most authentic “Living Inca City,” its narrow cobblestone streets follow the original 15th-century urban plan.
We ascend the monolithic terraces of the fortress, positioned strategically to guard the valley. As you touch the massive pink granite blocks of the Sun Temple, you feel the raw power of a site designed to withstand both time and invasion.
Our final exploration takes us to Pisac, a sprawling archaeological complex that looks like a bird in flight from above. We bypass the crowded lower markets and head straight for the upper religious sector.
Following a moderate trail through ancient tunnels and over hanging cliffs, we reach the Intihuatana, the “hitching post of the sun.” Standing here, looking down at the patchwork of the valley below, you finally understand the spiritual connection the Incas held with their mountains.

To ensure full transparency in your travel planning, please note that the following items are not covered by the tour fee. We recommend carrying Peruvian Soles (PEN) in cash, as most entry points do not accept credit cards.
❌ The “Boleto Turístico” (Cusco Tourist Ticket): This is the official government permit required to enter archaeological sites. You can purchase this at the first stop:
Partial Ticket (S/ 70.00): Valid for 2 days; covers only the Sacred Valley sites.
General Ticket (S/ 130.00): Valid for 10 days; includes the Sacred Valley, City Tour, and South Valley. Highly recommended if you plan to explore more of Cusco.
❌ Maras Salt Mines Entrance Fee (S/ 20.00): A separate local fee managed by the Maras community to maintain the ancient salt ponds.
❌ Personal Hydration & Snacks: While a buffet lunch is provided, we recommend bringing at least 2 liters of water and energy-dense snacks (nuts, chocolate, or fruit) for the trail.
❌ Travel Insurance: We strongly advise having comprehensive travel insurance that covers high-altitude activities.
❌ Gratuities (Tips): If you feel your guide and driver provided an exceptional experience, tips are a great way to show appreciation.
❌ Additional Services: Any item, souvenir, or service not explicitly mentioned in the “Included” section.
The Tourist Ticket (Boleto Turístico): Essential for entry. Not included in the tour price; you can purchase this at your first stop. Pro Tip: Keep it safe, you’ll need it for every ruin.
Documentation: Carry your original passport or ID. Digital copies often aren’t enough for official checkpoints.
Emergency Soles: While the “VIP” covers the big things, always carry local currency (Soles) for small mountain villages and tips.
The Daypack: A small, 20L backpack is perfect. Keep your hands free for climbing the terraces of Ollantaytambo.
Footwear: Wear tested hiking shoes or sneakers with good grip. The stone paths of the Incas can be slippery when ancient.
Sun Protection: The Andean sun is intense. A wide-brimmed hat, UV-protection sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen are non-negotiable.
The Layering System: The valley shifts from cold mornings to burning mid-day heat. Bring light layers and a warm fleece.
Rain Defense: From October to March, the Andes are unpredictable. A lightweight rain poncho or waterproof jacket is your best friend.
Hydration & Energy: Bring a reusable water bottle and light snacks (nuts, chocolate). Adventure requires constant fuel.
Power Up: Between the salt mines and the citadels, your battery will drain. Bring extra batteries or a power bank you won’t want to miss a single shot.
