Best Time to Visit the Luxury Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu Tour
The ideal time to visit the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu is during the dry season, April to October, when weather and hiking conditions are optimal. June through August offer the best weather but are busiest, so early booking is advised. For fewer visitors and comfortable conditions, consider April, May, September, or October.
This tour runs all year, and every season has its own appeal. During the rainy months from November to March, the landscapes are lush and green. In the dry season, you can expect clear blue skies. With luxury hotels, private service, and flexible itineraries, you can count on a comfortable experience no matter when you visit.
Day 1: Cusco – Sacred Valley – Aguas Calientes
Your professional guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 7:30 am to begin your journey through the Sacred Valley. Our first stop is Manos de la Comunidad, a charming alpaca farm where you’ll learn about llamas, alpacas, and vicuñas and discover the art of traditional Andean weaving. This is also an opportunity to purchase authentic souvenirs directly from local artisans.
We then continue to the impressive Pisac Inca Site, one of the most important archaeological complexes in the valley. Here, your guide will lead a walking tour through its terraces, temples, and ceremonial areas. Afterward, visit the Pisac Market, a vibrant place where ancient traditions blend with modern life. We drive through the fertile Sacred Valley, known for its giant white corn, and arrive in Urubamba to enjoy a Peruvian lunch at a selected restaurant.
In the afternoon, we reach the living Inca town of Ollantaytambo for a guided exploration of its remarkable fortress, built with precision and rich in history. By 3:37 pm, you’ll board the Vistadome Observatory Train, a scenic two-hour journey with panoramic views of the Andes that gradually transform into lush cloud forest as we approach Machu Picchu. Upon arrival in Aguas Calientes, our team will welcome you and escort you to your luxury hotel, where you can relax and prepare for the highlight of your trip the next day.
