Sacred Valley Express: book today until 8 pm and tomorrow you see Chinchero, Maras, Moray, Ollantaytambo and Pisac

No. It is the longest tour in the valley: 11–12 hours, from 6:20 am to 7 pm. "Express" means you see all 5 places in one day, Maras and Moray included, instead of splitting them across two departures. The pace at each site is the same as on the Classic.

There are two on this route: the Tourist Ticket, which covers Chinchero, Moray, Ollantaytambo and Pisac, and the salt mines fee, charged by the community of Maras, which is why it is separate. Neither is included in the US$32; both are paid in soles on the day. The amounts are set by the ticket administration and by the community and change without notice: we confirm the current figures on WhatsApp when you book.

No. Under 24 hours, or if you do not show up, there is no refund. You can move the date while there is space, and if we are the ones cancelling for weather or force majeure, we reschedule or refund in full. With more notice: 30% under 48 hours, 50% under 72 hours and 70% with 30 days or more. Refunds go through WeTravel to your original payment method.

Because the order Chinchero → Maras → Moray puts the highest point of the day (3,762 m) at 7:40 am and gets you to the salt mines before they fill up. From Moray the bus drops to Urubamba (2,871 m) for lunch and the afternoon runs lower than Cusco. If you landed in the city today and the altitude worries you, the Classic starts lower.

Yes, with the version that finishes at 3:30 pm inside the Ollantaytambo archaeological park; the station is a 15-minute walk away. It costs US$31 because the ride back to Cusco is not included and it does not visit Pisac: 4 places, not 5. Flip the "Ending in Ollantaytambo" switch in the booking form.

Yes, until the night before, on WhatsApp. Rustica is included; 14 Inkas (+US$4), Don Ángel (+US$15) and Tunupa (+US$20) are fixed-price upgrades. If you move up you pay the difference; if you drop back to Rustica, we refund it the same way.

Chinchero 1 h 15, Maras 45 min, Moray 45 min, lunch 50 min, Ollantaytambo 1 h and Pisac 50 min plus 30 in the town. That is 5 h 50 of visiting and 5 h 55 on the road across an 11-12 hour day.

Yes: the Tourist Ticket is issued and checked against the original document. Bring the physical passport; a photo on your phone is not accepted at the gate.

Ask on WhatsApp with the ages or the student card before paying: we confirm which tour fare applies and whether the reduced Tourist Ticket applies, which has rules of its own.

We run anyway: in the valley the rain comes in the afternoon and passes, and the sites stay open. Only if an authority closes a site or a road does force majeure apply, and then you reschedule or we refund you in full.

At our office on Av. Tullumayo 111-B, yes, Monday to Saturday until 7:30 pm, in soles or dollars. Online the charge is in dollars through WeTravel, by card. The entrance fees are always paid in soles on the day of the tour.
