Frequently Asked Questions

Pisac has a market most days, though it's largest and most active on certain days of the week — ask Voyzo when booking if the market is a priority.
The Sacred Valley stops are spread across a real driving day; expect a mix of scenic drive time and time on the ground at each site.
This VIP day covers three sites — Pisac, Maras, and Moray — in a single focused day from Cusco. Voyzo's longer Best of the Sacred Valley tour covers these same three stops plus Ollantaytambo and Chinchero, with lunch included, as a fuller 12-hour day. Choose this version if you'd rather see fewer sites at a steadier pace.
Researchers believe the circular terraces functioned as a real Inca agricultural laboratory — the ring design creates distinct microclimates, with temperatures varying by as much as 15°C between the highest and lowest terrace, which may have let the Incas test crops under conditions resembling very different altitudes in one compact site.

About This Tour

A private full-day Sacred Valley tour from Cusco taking in the Pisac indigenous market, the Maras salt mines, and the Moray Inca terraces. Don't let limited time in Peru stop you from seeing the Sacred Valley in depth — this private tour covers the Pisac indigenous market, the pre-Inca Maras salt mines, and the Inca terraces of Moray in a single day, without needing to book each stop separately.

Pisac opens the day at nearly 3,000 meters, where one of the largest Inca fortress complexes ever built sits above the valley — developed under the ruler Pachacutec into a combined military, agricultural, and religious site, with temples, watchtowers, and terraced cemeteries that each served a distinct real purpose, guarding the valley's southern approach and the routes toward Cusco and the jungle beyond. Down in the colonial village below, the Pisac market is a genuine, long-running draw of its own, known for textiles, ceramics, and local produce — ask Voyzo when booking if visiting on the market's busiest day is a priority, since its scale varies through the week.

The Maras salt pans are a real pre-Inca engineering feat, not an Inca creation — the terraced pools were first built by earlier Andean cultures, likely centuries before the Inca Empire existed, fed by a naturally salty spring that still supplies roughly 3,000 individual pools worked by local families today using the same evaporation technique their ancestors used.

Moray's circular terraces, carved into a natural bowl at over 3,500 meters, are widely believed to have served as a real Inca agricultural research site — the ring-shaped design creates genuinely different microclimates between the top and bottom levels, with a temperature swing of up to 15°C (27°F), which would have let the Incas test how crops performed across conditions resembling very different altitudes in one place. It's a theory, well-supported by the physical design, rather than a documented certainty.

This VIP day is deliberately built around three standout sites rather than Voyzo's longer five-site "Best of the Sacred Valley" itinerary, which covers these same Pisac, Maras, and Moray stops plus Ollantaytambo and Chinchero in a 12-hour day with lunch included. If your schedule is tighter, or you'd rather see fewer sites at a more relaxed pace in one focused day from Cusco, this is the leaner version of that same real route.
