Traditional Sacred Valley Tour: Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero

The Traditional visits 3 places — Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero, plus a stop at the Taray viewpoint — with pickup at 07:20 and drop-off in central Cusco around 18:30, from US$30. Super Sacred Valley swaps Taray for the Maras salt mines and the Moray terraces, starts at 06:20 and costs US$32. Group size, guide and lunch are the same.

Its difficulty is easy and most of the day runs lower than Cusco: Urubamba is at 2,871 m and Ollantaytambo at 2,790 m. The highest stop, Chinchero at 3,762 m, comes at the end of the afternoon. Walk slowly and drink water; this is general information, not medical advice.
