Sacred Valley Full Day Tour — Pisac Route

Explore the eastern Sacred Valley on this private full-day tour, starting with Pisac — one of the largest and most impressive Inca archaeological sites in Peru. Continue to the fortress of Ollantaytambo, the circular terraces of Moray, and the ancient Salineras de Maras salt mines.

Why Choose the Pisac Route?

This route is ideal for travelers who want to see the Sacred Valley’s most dramatic Inca ruins. Pisac’s hilltop complex covers an entire mountainside with agricultural terraces, ceremonial areas, a military fortress, and one of the largest Inca cemeteries in Peru — over 2,000 tombs carved into the cliff face. The Intiwatana solar clock, carved into living rock, demonstrates the Incas’ advanced astronomical knowledge. Combined with Ollantaytambo’s Temple of the Sun and the natural wonders of Moray and Maras, this is the most archaeologically rich Sacred Valley experience available.

What to Expect

Your guide picks you up from your hotel between 7:00 and 7:30 AM and drives approximately 45 minutes to Pisac. After exploring the hilltop ruins and browsing the artisan market in Pisac town, you continue through the valley to Ollantaytambo to climb the fortress terraces and visit the Temple of the Sun. A buffet lunch in the Urubamba Valley is followed by afternoon visits to Moray’s circular agricultural terraces and the Salineras de Maras. You return to your hotel in Cusco by approximately 6:00-7:00 PM.
