Sacred Valley Holidays
Valley of ancient Inca ruins
Bookended by the greatest Inca sites, Cusco and Machu Picchu, we love holidays in Sacred Valley for their outstanding reminder of the awe-inspiring Inca Empire. Here starkly traditional villages filled with Quechua-speaking descendents of the Incas are interrupted by ancient Inca ruins unfurling across rugged mountain slopes.
Hike through the valley, passing terraced farmland carved into the verdant hillsides and visit the ancient temples, royal palaces and estates spread like jewels amid the valley. This is an area of natural beauty with the valley floor running between mountains, peaks, villages and a prinkling of alpacas.

Top Tips from our Experts
Barbara
Destination Specialist
"The best way to see the Sacred Valley is to take the train from Poroy or ollantaytambo to Agues Calinetes (where you visit Machu Picchu from). The Vista Dome train or Belmond Hiram Bingham train offer excellent views as you travel along."
