📌 Frequently Asked Questions – Sacred Valley Tour (Special Tour)

1. The Sacred Valley tour seems perfect, but I am short on time. Is one day enough to see it?

Absolutely! This full-day tour is meticulously optimized to show you the absolute highlights of the valley. We spend between 40 minutes to an hour at each key site. Your expert guide will take you directly to the most historically significant spots for an insightful explanation, and you will still have plenty of free time to explore and take incredible photographs.

2. I have a train to catch from Ollantaytambo. What time will we arrive there?

Many of our travelers connect directly with their Machu Picchu trains from Ollantaytambo. The Sacred Valley tour reaches the Ollantaytambo archaeological site at approximately 03:45 PM. This timing leaves you with more than enough cushion to walk to the station and board your afternoon or evening train smoothly.

3. I arrive in Cusco just one day before the tour. Will I have issues with altitude sickness?

Most travelers follow this exact same timeline! Fortunately, the Sacred Valley is lower in altitude than Cusco city. The only high point on the route is Chinchero; after that, you will descend into the valley where breathing is much easier. Furthermore, our guides are fully trained in altitude management and will keep a close eye on your comfort throughout the journey.

4. I am traveling with an 8-year-old child and a 65-year-old adult. Is the trail too difficult for them?

The Sacred Valley tour is one of our most accessible and comfortable circuits. However, exploring the archaeological sites does require some walking on stone steps and uneven terrain. If any family member faces significant mobility challenges, we highly recommend upgrading to a Private Service. This allows your family to explore the magnificent ruins entirely at your own pace without the pressure of keeping up with a group.

5. Do I need to buy the Cusco Tourist Ticket (Boleto Turístico) in advance?

No need to worry about booking it beforehand. You can purchase the ticket in cash directly at the first checkpoint of the tour. Your guide will assist you in getting the correct ticket depending on whether you are doing a full Cusco itinerary or just a single-day excursion.

6. Is lunch included in the Sacred Valley tour?

We stop at a beautiful countryside restaurant in Urubamba, the heart of the valley, which is the perfect place to recharge your energy. Vegetarian and vegan options are fully available—just let us know!

7. I prefer not to share my passport details online. Can I book the tour using only my name?
