Super sacred valley Vip in Cusco 1 Day
If you only have one day in the Sacred Valley — and you want to see everything — this is the tour. The Super Sacred Valley VIP is Aremika Expeditions’ most complete single-day journey through the heart of the Inca Empire, visiting six extraordinary sites that together tell the full story of this remarkable civilization: its textile traditions, its agricultural science, its salt-harvesting ingenuity, its military architecture and its sacred ceremonial centers.
In a single well-paced day from Cusco you visit Chinchero with its Inca terraces and live weaving demonstration, the circular agricultural laboratory of Moray, the 3,000 salt pools of the Maras salt mines, a buffet lunch in Urubamba, the living Inca fortress town of Ollantaytambo and the ancient ruins and artisan market of Pisac — before returning to Cusco in the evening.
This tour covers more ground and more sites than our standard Sacred Valley tour, making it the ideal choice for travelers who want the deepest possible immersion in a single day. Every entrance ticket, a buffet lunch, private transport and a licensed bilingual guide are included.
💡 What makes this VIP? Six sites in one day — including Moray and Maras, which are not visited on the standard Sacred Valley tour. You see the full breadth of what the Sacred Valley has to offer, from Inca engineering and agriculture to living cultural traditions and mountain scenery.
