- Moray - A truly unique archaeological site in the region, featuring enormous natural depressions where the Incas constructed large circular agricultural terraces. These terraces served as a prototype greenhouse or experimental biological station, remarkably advanced for its time.
- Archaeological Park Ollantaytambo - Home to the oldest continuously inhabited dwellings in South America, where residents still live in the same houses and palaces as 500 years ago. Marvel at the impressive structures made from gigantic boulders and learn about the ancient heritage.
- Pisac - Located on the opposite side of the Sacred Valley, visit the Colonial Village of Pisac, where you can explore the famous “Indian Market” and the handicrafts or “souvenirs” market. This is an opportunity to enjoy a vibrant mix of colors, traditions, and people, and to bargain for exotic crafts. Also, visit the Pisac ruins, one of the most significant Archaeological Parks in the region. Explore the exquisite temples, palaces, and the well-preserved and extensive farming terraces, built even to the edge of precipices, which still maintain their straight, sometimes vertical aqueducts.
- Chinchero - Experience breathtaking panoramic views and discover the art of traditional Andean weaving.

Great Tour and amazing Yure - We booked full day tour via Viator and got Peru Trek 4. Yure is such as an amazing tour guide, he was punctual, toured us the valley, took us to amazing roads, places and was very informative. He knows the area and roads well and tour still reminds us of what a great time we had in Peru.
