Sacred Valley & buffet lunch
Description
The Sacred Valley of the Incas offers a glorious start to your visit to Cusco and Machu Picchu; sublime weather, overwhelmingly beautiful landscapes, colonial towns, ancient Inca settlements, and very friendly people reflect why so many people travel thousands of kilometers to visit this valley. These colonial cities, mostly inhabited by artisans, artists, farmers, and those tired of the city hustle, are some of the best places to explore not only in Peru but in South America.

Our guide Juan was just great, he is a great professional in what he does.
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad Juan made your Sacred Valley tour so special — we'll be sure to pass your message along to him. We hope to see you again in Cusco! Machupicchu Agency Team
We had a wonderful experience on the Sacred Valley tour, which included Chinchero, the Maras salt mines, Moray, Ollantaytambo, and a buffet lunch. Our guide, Josy, was incredibly kind and patient. She explained the history of each archaeological site with great clarity and enthusiasm, and she always pointed out the best spots for photos—giving us just enough time to capture them. One of the highlights of the day was the visit to a traditional alpaca weaving workshop, where we were shown the natural dyeing process used for the wool. We also stopped at a chocolate and salt shop, where we learned about the three different types of salt produced in Maras and had a chance to taste and browse their products. The buffet lunch was excellent, with plenty of fresh and tasty options. Ollantaytambo was especially impressive—a truly atmospheric site that gave us a first glimpse of the majestic Inka engineering we would later see in Machu Picchu. Overall, this tour was well-organized, educational, and full of memorable moments. Highly recommended!
Thanks for this beautiful lived experience, Peru is a place to visit again and recommend it to our acquaintances
Was meant to do this solo, I arrived 10 mins early to the pickup point with the tour guide completely ghosting me. I had contacted there support and they didn't even respond back. Please do not use this company they will not contsct you in anyway this company is a complete scam!

The experience was phenomenal. A day before your service they contacted me to send me my pick-up schedule and gave me all the details of the tour that I had. Both the guide, the transport and the driver were in very well presentable, tidy and very friendly, also attentive to each passenger. I remember a tourist with height problems and they were there to attend to her, that was very nice. I would definitely buy them back because of the trust that has already been generated in me.
