The Sacred Valley is home to charming, picturesque, and historically significant towns and villages. They cling to its sides amid a few Inca remains. North of Cusco, the valley starts to wind beneath precipitous rock cliffs and hills.
Remember, fully experiencing the Sacred Valley's nature and culture may take time. The area has many archaeological monuments and breathtaking scenery. It also has unique experiences. Trying to see all of it in one day may be rushed and cramped.
To explore the valley, we suggest reserving at least two days in advance. This gives you the chance to truly and peacefully appreciate every location. By taking your time, you can feel the Sacred Valley's spirit, you can marvel at the scenery, and get engrossed in Inca history.
The Sacred Valley has many transportation choices. You can use buses, taxis, or ATVs to visit its historic sites, charming towns, and natural landscapes.
If you want to go to the Sacred Valley via Pisac, it’ll take about 45 minutes to travel the 45 kilometers to Pisac from Cusco. You have to go to Puputi Street if Pisac is your destination.
If you want to go via Chinchero, you must take the bus at Pavitos Street. Both options are economical because the trip only costs five to ten soles.
From morning until around 9 pm, busses leave every fifteen minutes, covering a distance of 1 to 2 hours. The buses are often packed and unclean. However, they are still cheap for their long routes.
They travel along the one sacred valley road. Never fear if you're outside of Cusco; you may flag a bus down anyplace on the pista, and the driver will stop to let you on.
Buses and colectivos are a handy and genuine way to experience local culture and travel the Sacred Valley at your speed. Most of the time, especially with colectivos, you may have to wait for the car to fill up before leaving. But, this is only for a short while.
It is noteworthy that along the journey, these buses make a brief stop to receive additional passengers. With this transport, you may explore the Sacred Valley at your own pace, and get a personal look at local life.
You can take these taxis at the terminal on Pavitos Street, shared cabs provide an additional inexpensive method to go from Cusco to the Valley, it’ll cost you around 10 soles. These taxis operate from early in the morning to approximately 9 pm, and they depart as soon as four or five people board.
The trip to Pisac takes around 40 minutes, but most taxis only go to further places, such as Calca, Urubamba, or Ollantaytambo. Make sure to find out from the driver which route the driver’s taking, via Pisac or Chinchero.
In bigger towns like Calca and Urubamba, this is a popular and reasonably priced mode of transportation. They are just motorcycles with a cabin built around them, and they range in price from 2 to 6 soles for short-distance travel.
Be careful when going long distances on Mototaxis, as some of them are considerably old and some drivers are reckless.
Renowned automobile rental companies such as Hertz and Europcar have locations at the airport.
The daily pricing may vary from $45 to $100 based on the type of car you select. In case you rent a car, is a good idea to leave Cusco as soon as you can. You’ll see stunning and green scenery driving in the Sacred Valley
