Overview
The Sacred Valley played a fundamental role during the Inca era, serving as a gathering place for spiritual ceremonies and a center for thriving agricultural activity. Adorned with farming terraces, the Sacred Valley enjoys a surprisingly warm climate amidst the towering Andean peaks, making it a fertile land for abundant harvests.
The Urubamba River also known as “Willkamayu” or the “Sacred River” flows through the valley; it was believed to be a reflection of the Milky Way. Our ancestors viewed it as a divine symbol and undertook the monumental task of shaping the landscape to mirror the celestial constellations of the Milky Way. The valley is home to a treasure trove of ancient temples, sacred sites, and portals to other dimensions, inviting today’s visitors to connect with its profound spiritual legacy and ancestral wisdom.

Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu Itinerary
01 DAY: SACRED VALLEY – CHINCHERO – OLLANTAYTAMBO & MACHUPICCHU
Today we visit Chinchero, a small village located high up in the windswept plains, offering spectacular views over the Sacred Valley and the snowcapped peaks of the Andes. Renowned for its beautiful traditional weavings, this town is the perfect place to pick up souvenirs and gifts. Here we immerse ourselves in the local community, meeting village elders and the friendly local inhabitants.
After lunch we will arrive to Ollantaytambo, known as The Sanctuary of the Wind, an ancient observatory and ceremonial center set amongst impressive hillside terraces. Visit the Temple of the Sun and also the Royal Baths and Fountains for a shamanic energy experience where we will connect with the elements of earth, water, air, and fire. We then make our way along the murmuring river to the Temple of the Condor for a few moments of reflection and silent meditation.
Later we will journey on to Ollantaytambo train station, and enjoy a train ride along the Urubamaba River to the charming village of Aguas Calientes, or Machu Picchu Pueblo as it is now called. After checking in to our hotel, enjoy the evening at your leisure to prepare for your visit to sacred Machu Picchu tomorrow.

02 Day: MACHU PICCHU FULL DAY
After breakfast we make our way by bus to the sanctuary of Machu Picchu for our spiritual awakening. This Cristal Condor sacred site is an inspiring and beautiful place, an architectural wonder, and a great testament to Incan Civilization. Once used primarily as an astronomical Observatory and place of pilgrimage, Machu Picchu now attracts thousands of visitors each year to connect with the sacred energies and ancient wisdom. Because it sits within three corresponding high peaks of power, which create an energy triangle, it is a perfect spot to sit and meditate, focus your intent, and expand your awareness.
During our time here we will have a heart-opening ceremony to connect with Pachamama and the universal energies that encompass us a life changing experience!
After visiting Machu Picchu, we will take the bus back to Aguas Calientes. We will have time for lunch, and in the afternoon, we will take the train from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo, where our Pumadventures team will meet us and transfer you directly to your hotel. The total travel time from Aguas Calientes to Cusco is approximately 4 hours.
If you wish to climb Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain, please inform us at the time of booking, as a separate permit is required and have additional cost.
