More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light from Cusco stretches across the high valley as the bus climbs toward Chinchero, where stone streets and multi-colored weavings announce a day of layered history. Travelers step out into thin air—cool, sharp, and bright—surrounded by fields that still hum with grazing alpacas and the steady industry of weavers.

easy
Duration
10 hours
Fitness Level

Wildlife
History
The Sacred Valley was a key agricultural and political region for the Inca; Moray served as an experimental agricultural station reproducing varied microclimates.
Conservation
Visitor pressure can accelerate erosion on terraces and trails—stay on designated paths, buy directly from local cooperatives, and minimize single-use plastics.
Reserve your spot on the Chinchero Inca Town, Moray terraces and Ollantaytambo Full Day today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Acclimatize before you go
Spend a day in Cusco to reduce altitude effects—move slowly, hydrate, and avoid heavy alcohol before the tour.
Sturdy footwear
Wear shoes with good traction for cobbles and terraced steps; some walking is short but uneven.
Cash for textiles
Bring small bills for entrance fees at local craft centers and for souvenirs—card machines may not be available.
Sun and wind protection
High-altitude sun is intense even on cool days—use sunscreen, a hat, and a wind layer.
Sturdy walking shoes
Grippy shoes handle cobbles, terraces and short stair sections found at all three sites.
Hydration system (1–2 L)
Altitude increases hydration needs—carry a refillable bottle for the day.
Sun protection (hat & SPF)
High-elevation sun makes sunscreen and wide-brim hats essential year-round.
Layered jacket
Wind and temperature can change quickly between morning and afternoon on the valley floor.
