FAQs

Can you visit the Pisac market?
The famous Pisac market operates every day, but the largest and most colorful is on Sundays. If your tour falls on Sunday, you'll have a special experience.
Does this tour help me acclimatize before Machu Picchu?
Yes, the Sacred Valley is at lower altitude than Cusco (2,800m vs 3,400m), which helps acclimatization. Also, Ollantaytambo is the departure point for the train to Machu Picchu.
