Overview
We know very well each place of this tour, since we have grown up in this area and we studied over 3 years to get a guide license. as well, our vehicles have all the permits to operate.
We know when and where to go first to avoid the crowds. We want you enjoy the beauty and peace of each place and if you do not want to get too exhausted doing long tours over 8 hours, this is the best option for you. Splitting the visit to the Sacred Valley in 2 days will allow us to do shorter and more relaxed tours between 6 and 8 hours aprox. per day. But also, we will have plenty of time to have a deeper insight of each place, especially if we start the tour from Urubamba (town in the Sacred Valley).
WE SUGGEST TO STAY IN URUBAMBA, because this town is closer to all the sites and is about 800 m lower than Cusco city, better to acclimatize to the altitude and also closer to get to Machupicchu.
Remember, our tours are PRIVATE, so we are very flexible.
