The Sacred Valley Tours & Holidays
The Sacred Valley Small Group Tours & Tailor-Made Holidays
A mere hour's drive from Cuzco, the Sacred Valley of the Incas is home to picturesque communities, impressive terraces and several important archaeological sites. In Inca times, the valley was the breadbasket of the empire and its agricultural importance lives on today, as farmers use and sow the same fields that their Incan ancestors did, with the same crops. Its mild weather, beautiful countryside and rich archaeology make it ideal for outdoor activities.

Best experiences
Hike to secluded Pumamarca ruins
This short hike is great to experience both Inca history and living culture. Follow an old Inca Trail down a steeply terraced valley to the little-explored Pumamarca ruins, passing rural Peruvians along the way most of whom still wear traditional clothing.
Paddle in tranquil Lake Huaypo
Set amongst fields of corn with fantastic views across to the snow-capped Vilcanota Mountains, Huaypo is the ideal place to enjoy stand up paddleboards or kayaks. It is a truly peaceful experience gliding along with spectacular views of the Andes mountains.
E-bike across the Sacred Valley
From Urubamba get close to nature and the locals by using a full suspension, electric assisted mountain bike to ride past tiny villages, through fields of potatoes and corn and across the Urubamba River on an old railway bridge to an ancient Inca trail.OUR FAVOURITE PLACES TO STAY
