Itinerario
Su recorrido comienza a la 1:00 pm en el corazón del Cusco, la hermosa Plaza de Armas. Aquí su guía le mostrará los edificios coloniales e incas más importantes alrededor de la plaza y le explicará cómo esta área fue una vez el principal centro ceremonial del Imperio Inca. Luego caminaremos hasta la famosa Piedra en ángulo 12, perfectamente encajada en una antigua muralla inca, y continuaremos por la calle Loreto, considerada uno de los mejores ejemplos de diseño urbano inca, con paredes de piedra originales a ambos lados. Es la introducción perfecta a la mezcla de Cusco de historia incaica y colonial.
A continuación, visitaremos Coricancha, el templo más importante de todo el Imperio Inca, dedicado al Sol, donde veremos cómo los Españoles construyeron el convento de Santo Domingo justo encima de los cimientos incas originales. En el interior, se puede comparar claramente la piedra inca perfecta con la arquitectura colonial sobre ella. Su guía le explicará cómo este templo fue cubierto de oro y utilizado para ceremonias importantes, astronomía y culto, por lo que es uno de los lugares más fascinantes de Cusco.
Luego te diriges en vehículo a Sacsayhuaman, el sitio inca más impresionante con vistas al Cusco. Esta enorme fortaleza es famosa por sus gigantescas paredes de piedra en zigzag, con bloques tan perfectamente encajados que ni siquiera se puede deslizar un trozo de papel entre ellos. Mientras caminas por el sitio, tu guía compartirá historias sobre batallas, ceremonias y cómo Sacsayhuaman todavía juega un papel clave hoy durante el festival Inti Raymi. Desde aquí, también podrá disfrutar de algunas de las mejores vistas panorámicas de Cusco y las montañas circundantes.
Su próxima parada es Qenqo, un misterioso centro ceremonial inca tallado casi en su totalidad en roca. Explorarás sus sinuosos pasajes, canales tallados y altares ocultos que probablemente se utilizaron para rituales importantes. El nombre Qenqo significa “zigzag” en quechua, y una vez que estés dentro, entenderás por qué. Su guía le explicará las diferentes teorías sobre su uso y el significado espiritual de este lugar sagrado, ayudándole a imaginar cómo se veía en la época inca.
Continúa hacia Puka Pukara, cuyo nombre significa “Fortaleza Roja” en quechua. Este sitio probablemente sirvió como punto de control militar y lugar de descanso en el camino que conectaba Cusco con el Valle Sagrado y la selva. Desde sus terrazas y muros de piedra, se obtienen vistas abiertas del paisaje y se pueden imaginar mensajeros y viajeros incas que pasan por el lugar. Su guía le indicará los puestos de guardia, paredes y habitaciones, mostrando cómo este pequeño pero estratégico sitio ayudó a proteger la capital.
Por último, visita Tambomachay, un tranquilo sitio inca conocido por sus fuentes de agua clara y su elegante cantería. A menudo llamado los “Baños Incas”, puede haber sido un lugar de descanso y culto al agua para la nobleza inca. Aquí verás acueductos y canales perfectamente construidos que todavía llevan agua después de cientos de años. Es un lugar tranquilo y hermoso para disfrutar del aire fresco, tomar fotos y apreciar el profundo respeto de los Incas por la naturaleza antes de regresar a Cusco.

Our guide, William was amazing! He was very kind, knowledgeable and patient with us. He very graciously accommodated our time schedule and frequently checked in to see how we were feeling and what we wanted to do next. He is very up to date on historical debates and told us about different accounts of what we were looking at. Knows his research! Our driver, Aquiles, was very professional as well, calm, and safe! Also great to talk to. Thanks so much to William and Aquiles for a great afternoon!

Our family of four had an absolutely epic adventure exploring the Sacred Valley! From start to finish, everything was seamless – the van was comfortable, the itinerary was perfectly paced, and the communication with the team was responsive and helpful throughout our whole vacation. Our tour guide, Katia, was the highlight of the experience. She was not only kind, knowledgeable, and engaging, but also deeply passionate about sharing the stories and traditions of her ancestors. Her personal connection to the sites made the history come alive in such a meaningful way. We couldn’t have asked for a better day in the Sacred Valley. 10/10 – we’ll definitely be back to do another tour! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a genuine, memorable, and comfortable way to experience this magical region.
Dear Jennifer, Thank you so much for this glowing review! We’re thrilled your family of four had a seamless, comfortable day in the Sacred Valley — from the smooth van ride to the well-paced itinerary and clear communication. Katia will be over the moon to hear your kind words. Her passion for sharing her heritage and stories is truly special, and we’re so happy it made the history come alive for you. We’d love to welcome you back for another 10/10 adventure when you return. Thanks again for the heartfelt recommendation! Warm regards, The TreXperience Team
3 day private tour in Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu with Katia. Katia is passionate and knowledgeable about the Quechua people and Incan history. She explains history with excitement and love that we were all entranced by the places we saw. Highly recommend her.
Dear Sandra, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear your 3-day private tour in the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu was so special. Katia will be delighted to know her passion for Quechua culture and Inca history brought each place to life. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Peru! Warm regards, The TreXperience Team
Trexperience was recommended by a close personal friend from their recent Peru trip. It did not disappoint. Frank was very knowledgeable, kind and thoughtful. He picked us upon our arrival at the airport in Cusco. We visited a llama sanctuary on our way out to Pisac and Ollytaytambo. The impressive archeological sites are amplified when coupled with explanations by someone with deep pride and knowledge of the history. Frank altered our itinerary when he recognized our fatigue from the red eye flight. Day two we visited Chinchero, Moray and Maras for more local history. Each day included a van, driver, lunch, entry tickets to archeological sites, and hotel. Why sit in Cusco waiting to acclimatize when you can explore, learn and immerse prior to Machu Picchu?
Dear friend, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear that you had such a great experience exploring the Sacred Valley with Frank. He’ll be delighted to know his knowledge, kindness, and flexibility made your trip comfortable and meaningful. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed visiting the local sites, learning about Inca and Quechua history, and immersing yourself in the culture from the very first day. Thank you for choosing TreXperience and for sharing your lovely experience — we hope to see you again for another unforgettable adventure in Peru! Warm regards, The TreXperience Team
English speaking guide Jennifer was patient, helpful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. One of group members got sick and she was extremely helpful. All ended well. Her extensive experience as a guide throughout Peru allowed us to pepper her with questions- and she knew all the answers! We loved beginning with Alpacca and ending at the salt mines. Great day!
Dear DentHouseOwner, Thank you for your kind review! 💚 We’re so glad Jennifer and Adolfo made your Sacred Valley tour such a great day, from meeting the alpacas to exploring the salt mines. It’s wonderful to know you felt supported, especially when a group member wasn’t feeling well. Warmly, TreXperience Team
Great trip. Everything arranged by Trexperience well. Roger, our tour guide was the best. He told interesting facts and stories throughout the tour to make it exciting for our family. Alpaca farm tour was a highlight. Buffet Lunch was amazing. Roger' s attention to detail made all the difference to the tour.
Dear Voyager37374986883, Thank you so much for your lovely message! We’re so glad Roger made your Sacred Valley tour special — and that you enjoyed the alpacas and lunch too! 😊 Warmest wishes, TreXperience Team
The trip was a super easy way to visit all the key sites of the Incans, and we were led by our wonderful guide, Jennifer. She had a wealth of knowledge about every site, and was able to answer every question. We also stopped at a llama and alpaca center, which was a super fun experience.
Dear traveler, thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled that Jennifer made your Private Sacred Valley Tour so easy and informative, and that you loved the llama and alpaca center visit. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re honored you chose TreXperience for this adventure. Warm regards, Yosselyn – TreXperience
The Sacred Valley tour was amazing! Everything is organized really well, and the benefit of doing this tour is you get to see so many different sites in one day! This is perfect for those with limited time and want to see a lot of the important sites. Jennifer, our host, also made the trip really interesting and entertaining. She was very knowledgeable about the sites and was helpful in answering all of our questions. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see as much as possible with limited time, and would definitely do a tour with Jennifer again! Thanks for the wonderful experience!
Dear Apurwa, Thank you for choosing our all-inclusive Sacred Valley tour! We’re delighted it fit your tight schedule and that Jennifer’s knowledge and energy made the day unforgettable. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another adventure!
TreXperience had a fun premade tour through the Sacred Valley, but our Guide Leo made the valley come alive with history and levity and Victor kept us safe and comfortable along dynamic roadways. Ullantaytambo was positioned at the right elevation for us to acclimate before time in Cusco and a 4-day hike on the Inca Trail. To our larger trip with TreXperience, we added two days of tours through the Sacred Valley, which finished in Cusco. This was semi custom. There is more to experience in the Andes and I would find Leo to lead me off the beaten path.
Leo was an amazing guide and would highly recommend him to all my friends and family. Victor keep us on time and was an excellent driver. My greatest thanks to the both of them.
