Overview

Explore the Sacred Valley with Diego, a local guide with 18 years of experience living and guiding in the valley. This private full-day tour combines the valley's most important archaeological and cultural sites with the freedom to explore at your own pace.

Travel in your own private SUV and visit Ollantaytambo, Moray, Maras and Chinchero, with hotel pickup and drop-off in the Sacred Valley. Your itinerary can be adjusted according to your interests, available time and pace.

Your guide is Diego — not a rotating team of guides. After 18 years guiding in the Sacred Valley, he brings the history of the Incas to life while also sharing the local perspective that comes from living here.

Discover the massive stonework of Ollantaytambo, the remarkable agricultural terraces of Moray, the traditional salt pools of Maras, and the living textile traditions of Chinchero.

No shared transportation, just your group, your private guide and the Sacred Valley at your own pace.
