Sacred Valley VIP Tour: Discover the Heart of the Incas

The Sacred Valley VIP Tour is one of the most complete ways to explore the remarkable landscapes, archaeological sites and living traditions of the Sacred Valley of the Incas in a single day. Travel from Cusco through Chinchero, Moray, the Maras Salt Mines, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo and Pisac before returning to Cusco in the evening.

This full-day experience combines spectacular Andean scenery, fascinating Inca history and traditional communities with a buffet lunch in Urubamba. It is an excellent choice for travelers who want to discover more of the Sacred Valley in one complete journey.

Begin the Journey in Chinchero

Your adventure begins with hotel pickups in Cusco between approximately 6:00 and 7:00 a.m. After gathering the group, we leave the city and travel toward Chinchero, surrounded by beautiful views of the Andes.

Chinchero is known for its Inca heritage, colonial history and strong textile traditions. Here you can experience an important part of Andean culture while discovering the history that continues to shape local communities today.

Explore the Agricultural Terraces of Moray

The Sacred Valley VIP Tour continues to Moray, one of the most unusual archaeological sites in the region. Its impressive circular terraces descend into the earth in a series of levels, creating one of the Sacred Valley’s most recognizable landscapes.

As you explore the site with your guide, you will learn about the ingenuity of the Inca civilization and the theories surrounding the agricultural use of these extraordinary terraces.

Visit the Maras Salt Mines

From Moray, continue toward the famous Maras Salt Mines, where thousands of small salt pools cover the mountainside. Salt has been collected here for generations using traditional methods, creating a spectacular landscape unlike anywhere else in the Sacred Valley.

The entrance ticket to the Maras Salt Mines is not included in the base tour price and is paid separately.

Buffet Lunch in Urubamba

After the morning visits, the journey continues through the Sacred Valley to Urubamba, where a buffet lunch is included. This is the perfect opportunity to relax and recharge before continuing with the afternoon exploration.

Discover Ollantaytambo

In the afternoon, visit Ollantaytambo, one of the most impressive and historically important destinations in the Sacred Valley. Massive stone terraces rise above the town, while its ancient streets preserve an extraordinary connection with the Inca past.

Your guide will introduce you to the history and significance of this remarkable archaeological complex before the journey continues through the valley.

Complete the Sacred Valley Experience in Pisac

The final major stop is Pisac, famous for its impressive archaeological complex overlooking the Sacred Valley. Its terraces, mountain setting and Inca remains provide a memorable conclusion to a day filled with history and extraordinary landscapes.

After visiting Pisac, we begin the return journey to Cusco, arriving at approximately 7:30 to 8:00 p.m., depending on traffic and the pace of the group.

Why Choose the Sacred Valley VIP Tour?

The Sacred Valley VIP Tour offers a more extensive route than the classic Sacred Valley itinerary, combining Chinchero, Moray and the Maras Salt Mines with Urubamba, Ollantaytambo and Pisac in one full-day experience.

The tour includes hotel pickup, tourist transportation, a professional bilingual guide and buffet lunch in Urubamba. The Cusco Tourist Ticket (BTC) and entrance to the Maras Salt Mines are not included, allowing travelers to use the ticket option that best fits the rest of their itinerary in Cusco.

Experience More of the Sacred Valley in One Day

From traditional Andean communities and remarkable Inca engineering to salt terraces and dramatic mountain scenery, this journey brings together many of the Sacred Valley’s most memorable experiences. The Sacred Valley VIP Tour is designed for travelers who want to make the most of their time in Cusco while discovering the diversity of this extraordinary region.

At Forever Peru Travel, we believe Peru should not simply be visited — it should be felt. And some journeys are meant to become memories that last forever.
