2 Days Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu Experience

We had the best experience! The value was great, worth every penny! We were able to do a lot more activities on this tour than I would be able to plan on my own. The crew handled everything, so it was low stress. I learned so much at each site with our awesome guide Felix who was extremely knowledgable, which made each place we went to so much more interesting. I highly recommend booking this tour and requesting Felix for your guide.

Our 2 day Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour was amazing and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We began in the Sacred Valley by visiting a local alpaca farm, where we saw llamas, alpacas, a condor and even guinea pigs. This fun and unique stop helped us appreciate Andean culture even more. Next, we visited Pisac an impressive Inca site high in the mountains. The views were stunning and our guide Victor made the visit special with his knowledge and clear explanations about the site's history and importance. His passion made the ruins feel alive. After that, we had a tasty buffet lunch at a local restaurant in Urubamba. In the afternoon we explored Ollantaytambo, a beautiful Inca town with huge stone terraces and an interesting history. Later, we took the train to Aguas Calientes and stayed overnight at La Jaya Machu Picchu Hotel. The hotel was very comfortable and even had a jacuzzi, which was a great way to relax before our visit to Machu Picchu. On the second day, we visited Machu Picchu. It was cloudy at first, but after waiting a bit, the weather cleared and we got amazing views of the citadel. Victor was patient and gave us a great walking tour, explaining the history, architecture and mysteries of Machu Picchu in detail. In the afternoon, we took the 1:30 pm train back to Ollantaytambo, where our driver Juan met us at the station. He drove us safely back to our hotel in Cusco, making the trip back simple and stress-free. This tour was well organized, informative and truly unforgettable. Thank you to Qoricancha Expeditions Victor, Juan and the whole team for giving us such a great experience. They are professional, friendly and we highly recommend them.

Our experience with Qoricancha Expeditions was seamless from the initial contact. María, our travel advisor, responded promptly, provided clear itinerary details, and assisted with our hike preparations. All logistics, including tickets, transportation, hotel arrangements, and packing recommendations, were managed efficiently. We felt fully supported throughout, which made the experience both stress-free and enjoyable. Our group consisted of five hikers, creating a personal and engaging atmosphere. We met our guide, Víctor, at the train station early in the morning. He immediately demonstrated professionalism and courtesy. The hike began at Km 104, with a visit to Chachabamba, followed by a scenic ascent through mountain trails featuring orchids, waterfalls, and impressive views. Víctor provided valuable insights into Inca history, traditions, and the importance of each site. We paused for a boxed lunch near Wiñay Wayna, a notable ruin along the Inca Trail with remarkable views. Víctor assisted with group photos and maintained an appropriate hiking pace. The small group size encouraged connections among travelers, creating a welcoming and collaborative environment. Arriving at the Sun Gate (Inti Punku) in the afternoon provided a memorable view of Machu Picchu emerging through the mist, despite some cloud cover. We then continued to Aguas Calientes and stayed at Hotel La Jaya, a modern and comfortable hotel with a jacuzzi that offered welcome relaxation after the trek. The following morning, we took an early bus to Machu Picchu for a guided tour. Víctor’s explanations enhanced our understanding of the citadel’s history and significance. We appreciated the well coordinated and meaningful experience.
