Do you want to visit the most amazing places the Incas left us but don’t have much time? Our 2-day Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour will take you to the most amazing Inca complexes, including World Wonder Machu Picchu. You’ll get the opportunity to learn all about this ancient civilization and marvel at its incredible architecture and engineering.
The Sacred Valley is an incomparably beautiful place with small towns and ancient archaeological sites in the midst of rugged mountains northeast of Cusco. This valley was extremely important to the Incas due to its geographical location and excellent climate. To this day, it stands as one of the best places for corn production in Peru, which is a very popular food among Peruvians.
In the middle of the mountains runs the sacred river of Urubamba (also called Willkamayu or Vilcanota), the focus of Inca cosmology. The Incas knew that this river was not only fully linked to the constellations and snow-capped peaks, but was also the reflection of the Milky Way.
On the second day, you’ll visit Machu Picchu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, make your dreams come true, and enjoy this archaeological sanctuary to the fullest in a package that gives you, like no other tour, the most amount of time Machu Picchu to enjoy it to the fullest. So, what are you waiting for? Come and discover the magic of the Incas with us.
