We went on one of the one-day tours of the Sacred Valley. I really enjoyed the sights we saw: Pisac ruins, Ollantaytambo, Chinchero. (I thought places were even more interesting than Machu Picchu!) The vally itself was also gorgeous, and we saw many farmers out in there fields. However, one day felt really rushed. We hardly had any time at... more

In Dec. 2008 we did two days of tours in the Sacred Valley. We hit all the "highlights", including Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero. Also, around Cusco, the Incan "ruins" of Sacsayhuaman, Tambomachay and Puca Pucara. In all cases we would be left dumbfounded when the "ruin" was yet another patch of grass. Half the time there are some rocks flush... more

Ollyantaytambo was mind blowing in its size and construction. The craft market at Pissaq was nothing special as has been mentioned in other reviews the prices... more

Ollantaytambo was the highlight. It is a very impressive last stronghold city of the Incas and has many amazing ruins in good shape and in a... more

When you speak of the Sacred Valley, I feel that all the towns, and ruins are placed in this one subject for review. There are so many towns that one can explore, or not. There are so many places of interest, not just to shop, but to eat. One of the things that I didn't get to experiece was Chicha.... more
