1 Days / 0 Nights
Professional tour guides All of our tour guides attended the San Antonio Abad Cusco University or have a college degree. They also all speak really good English. However, the most important aspect is that all our tour guides are local people who grew up in the Andes and have vast ancient knowledge, ready to help broaden your knowledge of their ancestors’ traditions. At the same time, they are funny and professional, making sure you’re safe and happy.
Permits After we receive your deposit and information about you, our staff will get your permits for entry to the archeological sites. This permit is for a specific date, and the name provided on the permit will need to match your passport details.
Briefing Either the night before or the morning of your tour, your tour guide will brief you on what you need and the itinerary for the day.
Transportation All transportation during the tour is included, from the beginning to the end, via a private vehicle. We’ll pick you up from your hotel and take you back to your hotel or the main square that same day. Our services are door-to-door.
Equipment Sparrow Explorer has the best equipment that you need during your tour. The utmost importance for us is your safety and that you are happy and enjoying the entire experience.
First aid kit Your safety is one of our first priorities. As such, this first aid kit that we have is complete with basic things that you may need for the tour. We will also have an oxygen tank in the event you are struggling with the elevation gain and need assistance.
Daypacks We highly recommend bringing your own day pack for the tour. We would recommend bringing a small to medium-sized day pack, as this is only a one-day Sacred Valley tour. The backpack that you’ll bring should have enough space for your water, sunscreen, sun hat, a few warm layers in case of the weather changes, a camera, and personal snacks. It’s also a good idea to have space for souvenirs bought during the tour.
Packing list As this is a single-day tour, you won’t need to pack a lot. We do recommend including a rain poncho, sunscreen, water, and extra snacks. For our longer tours, we provide a slightly more extensive packing list.
Extra Snack You can bring your own snacks or get them during the tour.
Meals This tour doesn’t include meals. However, we will make stops for lunch and opportunities to get snacks throughout the excursion.
With a rich array of archaeological sites and breathtaking scenery, joining a full-day Sacred Valley tour from Cusco is a no-brainer when in Peru. The region is far more than just ancient ruins, though, with small museums, timeless towns, and a brimming tradition that’ll make any trip a memorable one.
During this day trip, you’ll visit the Inca ruins of Pisac Town, Ollantaytambo, and Moray. Many archeologists consider these landmarks to be some of the original cities of the Inca civilization, so their historical significance has no bounds.
There are a few more destinations you can add to your tour to make it a unique affair. These include an Alpaca Farm near Cusco, the famous Taray Viewpoint, and Pisac’s local market. Coya Town and Lamay Town (where you’ll find the best cuy) can also be visited. Claca Town (where the famous Lares to Machu Picchu trek begins) is also in the area. The Urubamba Village is the best place for us to stop for lunch, and a Yanahuara is perfect for those wanting to taste Chicha, also known as corn beer.
Take all these fantastic stops and the magical views of the Urubamba River — which feeds the Amazon River — and you’ve got a special day in store. So, if you’ve already been on a day tour to Machu Picchu, it’s time to join this day tour of the Sacred Valley.
The best Sacred Valley is waiting for you!
