Cultural Charm of the Sacred Valley Tour

This magical region in Peru offers travelers a glimpse into the heart of Incan civilization. Taking them where ancient ruins blend seamlessly with bustling local markets. With 69 Explorer, your Sacred Valley tour transforms into a culturally immersive experience that combines history, nature, and authentic Andean traditions.

Discover the Soul of the Sacred Valley

Embarking on a Sacred Valley tour with 69 Explorer means stepping into a world of vibrant colors, warm smiles, and rich traditions. The valley is famous for its unique markets, where local artisans showcase their craftsmanship. These markets are more than just shopping hubs; they are cultural landmarks where age-old traditions come alive.

One of the most popular stops is the Pisac Market. Set against the backdrop of breathtaking mountains, this market is a treasure trove of handmade goods, from textiles to jewelry. Visitors can observe skilled artisans at work, weaving patterns that have been passed down through generations. Shopping here is not just about taking home souvenirs; it’s about connecting with the local community and supporting their heritage.

Exploring Historic Marvels

While the local markets captivate with their charm, the Sacred Valley is also home to iconic archaeological sites. The Pisac ruins offer panoramic views of the valley and a chance to explore Incan engineering marvels. Similarly, Ollantaytambo stands as a testament to the Incas’ architectural genius, with its massive stone terraces and fortress that played a pivotal role in their history.
