Whether you're especially interested in history, archaeology, architecture, or simply want to make the most of your visit, your guide can adapt the experience to your interests.

  • 5Amazing experience!!

    Luis was amazing. So knowledgeable, very interesting and articulate. Fluent in Spanish and English, which was so helpful because my husband only speaks English. He answered all our questions, he even helped us with taking the time to take the best videos and pictures of us! Thank you Luis!

  • 5Luis is the best decision we made!

    Luis was amazing with our family! He was extremely helpful with the entire process from the bus in Aguas Calientes to getting in line and the whole way through. I was hesitant about all the different guide options, but turned out to be the best option we made. English and Spanish was excellent. Completely explained things throughout the tour and you can tell he is passionate about his culture. Wives - Don’t worry, he knows all the best places to take photos and does it al for you with your camera/phone… Husbands - Don’t worry about having to take a million photos. Luis is excellent with know what pictures to take and is QUICK about it… No fighting with the wife for taking forever taking pictures haha. Luis is great! Don’t worry about prices.. He is right in line with everyone else. Not expensive at all and well worth every penny.

About Sacred Valley

The Sacred Valley is the Urubamba River valley in the Peruvian Andes, a fertile corridor of Inca terraces, fortress towns and markets near Cusco.

The Sacred Valley follows the Urubamba River, also called the Vilcanota, through the Andes north-west of Cusco. It lies lower than the city, so the air is warmer and the land greener. The Incas farmed the valley intensively, and stone-walled terraces still climb its hillsides. Villages such as Pisac, Urubamba and Ollantaytambo lie along the river, with snow peaks above.
