About this activity

A full-day private taxi through the Sacred Valley, with stops in Chinchero, the Maras Salt Pans, Moray, and Pisac, takes approximately 8 hours in a vehicle with driver, without rushing any visit.

It’s the most complete Sacred Valley tour in a single day: four iconic stops, a private vehicle, and a flexible pace. Unlike our VIP Sacred Valley Tour (which includes a guide and lunch but doesn’t reach Pisac), this taxi tour is transport and access only, at a more affordable rate.

With over a decade operating in Cusco and a 5.0/5.0 TripAdvisor rating (36 reviews), we adjust the order of the stops to what you want to see.

Itinerary

Start

Chinchero

Chinchero is an Andean village at 3,762 m above sea level with a colonial church built on the foundations of an Inca palace, and a textile market where women from local communities weave by hand with natural dyes, often with live demonstrations of the process.

Stop 01

Maras Salt Pans

The Maras salt pans hold over 3,000 terraced salt pools fed by an underground spring, in use since pre-Inca times. Local families still work the salt using traditional methods, and the color contrast against the valley is one of the most sought-after photo spots on the route.

Stop 02

Moray

Moray is made up of concentric circular terraces believed to have been an Inca agricultural laboratory: the temperature difference between the top and bottom terrace can exceed 15°C, enough to simulate different ecological zones in a single place.

Stop 03

Pisac Ruins and Market

The Pisac ruins offer Inca agricultural terraces with Sacred Valley views, and the town's crafts market brings together textiles, pottery, and silver jewelry from nearby communities.

End

Cusco (or Ollantaytambo upon request)

Return to the agreed point in Cusco, or we continue straight to Ollantaytambo if your next step is catching the train to Machu Picchu — coordinate the route with us when booking so you don't lose time with an extra stop in the city.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from your VIP Sacred Valley Tour?

The VIP Sacred Valley Tour includes an expert guide and gourmet lunch, with Ollantaytambo and Urubamba instead of Pisac. This taxi tour is transport and access only, more affordable, with Pisac included.

Does the tour include a guide or lunch?

No. It's private transportation with a professional driver; entrance fees, food, and guide are the traveler's responsibility.

Can I remove a stop if I'd prefer a shorter day?

Yes, coordinate via WhatsApp which stops interest you — the itinerary adjusts to your preference.

Can I end the day in Ollantaytambo instead of returning to Cusco?

Yes, useful if you're continuing by train to Machu Picchu the next day.
