We will pick you up from your hotel to begin the VIP Sacred Valley Tour, where you will explore fascinating archaeological sites accompanied by your professional guide.

Continuing the tour, we will arrive in Maras, a place famous for its traditional salt production process.

Afterward, we will head to Urubamba to enjoy a delicious lunch. Finally, we will visit the impressive Fortress of Ollantaytambo, built with colossal stones to protect the Inca Empire from possible invasions. After the guided visit, you will have the opportunity to walk through the town’s streets and gain a clear understanding of what this military, religious, and cultural center was like.
