Pisac Archaeological Park | Ollantaytambo Archaeological Site | Urubamba Valley | Machu Picchu | Aguas Calientes

This tour option from Cusco to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu allows us to discover the wonder of the world that is Machu Picchu without having to take the early train service; it is a comfortable and interesting connection. The Sacred Valley reveals its charms; Pisac and Ollantaytambo as well as the incredible views that adorn our visit at all times.

This two day journey combines two of the most important destinations in Peru: the Sacred Valley of the Incas and Machu Picchu instead of rushing directly to the train station before sunrise, this itinerary allows you to explore the valley first, visiting ancient Inca sites, traditional towns, and some of the most scenic landscapes in the Cusco region before continuing to Aguas Calientes.

The Sacred Valley has long been considered one of the most fertile areas in the Andes. Surrounded by mountains and crossed by the Urubamba River, it provided food, resources, and strategic connections for the Inca Empire.

The experience culminates at Machu Picchu, where history, architecture, and natural surroundings come together in one of the world’s most celebrated archaeological sites. With an overnight stay near the sanctuary you’ll arrive rested and ready to explore the ancient citadel the following morning.

Important: Machu Picchu entrance tickets and train schedules are subject to availability. During the high season, availability becomes limited well in advance. Early reservations are recommended to secure your preferred travel dates and the best available entrance circuit.

Your 2 Day Machu Picchu & Sacred Valley Highlights

Many travelers head straight to Machu Picchu, but visiting the Sacred Valley first provides a deeper understanding of the world the Incas created. The valley was more than a route to Machu Picchu; it was a center of agriculture, trade, and settlement that played a vital role in the empire’s development. Exploring sites such as Pisac and Ollantaytambo before reaching Machu Picchu helps place the citadel within its broader historical context.

This itinerary also offers a more relaxed pace. Rather than starting the journey with an extremely early train departure, you’ll spend the first day discovering the valley’s highlights before continuing toward Machu Picchu, making the overall experience more comfortable and enjoyable.

The best experience in Peru 🤩

We came eager to explore and leave happy for everything we experienced; the agency surprised us from start to finish. Everything was always on time, everything excellent, better than specified in the proforma. We heard several people during the tour having problems with other agencies, but we did not have a single issue; everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you very much for making this experience memorable.
