- Chinchero - Guests will be picked up from their hotel at 6:40 am, departing from Cusco city at 7:00 am. The first destination is Chinchero town, where the archaeological site of Chinchero will be explored.
- Moray - After 25 minutes, the journey continues to the archaeological complex of Moray. Moray features several circular agricultural terraces, which historians believe were used by the Incas to cultivate plants from warmer climates.
- Salinas de Maras - The next stop is the Maras Salt Mines, located 25 minutes from Moray. The Salt Mines consist of numerous square wells filled with salt water from underground sources. Sunlight causes the water to evaporate, leaving behind salt, which is then collected by locals and sold at the market.
- Urubamba - Following the visit to the Maras Salt Mines, the tour proceeds to Urubamba town, situated in the lower part of the Sacred Valley, offering a slightly warmer climate. A buffet lunch will be enjoyed here. After lunch, the archaeological complex of Ollantaytambo will be visited.
- Ollantaytambo - Departing Urubamba post-lunch, a 30-minute drive leads to the town and archaeological park of Ollantaytambo. Known for its extensive stone stairs leading to the main area, Ollantaytambo was an Inca royal palace, similar to Pisac. Visitors can also explore Ollantaytambo town and purchase souvenirs.
- Pisac - After Ollantaytambo, a 1 hour and 30-minute drive will take guests to the town and archaeological complex of Pisac in the Sacred Valley. Pisac is a charming village by the Urubamba river, featuring a traditional market for souvenirs and local cuisine. The archaeological complex is located on a nearby hilltop, consisting of numerous stone buildings that housed the Inca nobility. After exploring this stunning site, the tour returns to Cusco city, arriving around 7:00 pm.

Beautiful Experience - Loved it. Jimi was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable. We hit Pisaq, which was my favorite, Ollantaytambo & those ruins were amazing. It was my birthday & at lunch they had the restaurant make it a whole thing, which was sweet. We also hit the salt mines, & lots of other places, too many to remember. Overall great experience

Pleasant experience - Very good experience, the guide explained the places we visited, they gave us enough time to take the photos and appreciate the landscape, my children of 11 and 12 years were happy and entertained, my wife and I enjoyed the family day taking our children to know in a safe and didactic way the history of the Sacred Valley of Cusco.

The tour guide is good,... - The tour guide is good, we did visit all the spots, but it's too short for some of sites such as Pisac, pretty much didn't get to see much at Pisac. You might need to do that separately. The only major complain I have is that they take you to shopping sites... there were 3 spots we stopped for shopping, which did not mention in the details.

It was an enjoyable tour... - It was an enjoyable tour that hit many of the top tourist sights. We learned a lot taking the tour. It was convenient pick up. It takes a very long day to see all the sights. The lunch buffet was nice but not deluxe.
