Two Sacred Valley Departures from Cusco
We run two Sacred Valley full-day tours from Cusco, both with a certified bilingual guide (English–Spanish), round-trip transport, and a traditional Andean buffet lunch included. The Sacred Valley Classic Tour (from US$30) covers Taray, Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero. The Sacred Valley Complete Tour (from US$32) covers the same core route plus Moray and the Maras salt mines, for a longer and more complete day.
Which Plan Should You Choose?
Both are shared small-group departures (max 17–18 travelers) at a comfortable pace suitable for most fitness levels and ages. If you want to see Moray's circular terraces and the Maras salt pans, the Complete Tour is the better fit. If you'd rather keep the day shorter and more affordable while still covering the essential Inca sites, the Classic Tour does the job just as well. Still deciding? See our honest take on whether the Sacred Valley Tour is worth it or our full Classic vs Complete comparison.
What Makes These Tours Different from a Shorter Excursion
Many Sacred Valley tours only cover two or three stops. Our Classic route covers four, and our Complete route covers five — moving efficiently between a hilltop citadel, a fortress-temple, a living textile village, an Inca agricultural laboratory and an active salt mine. See the full hour-by-hour itinerary for the Classic Tour or the Complete Tour for exactly how each day unfolds. Before you go, check the altitude at each stop and what entrance tickets you'll need along the way.
