Will I experience symptoms of altitude sickness in the Sacred Valley?

40-50% of travelers experience minor symptoms of altitude sickness, also known as Acute Mountain Sickness, like shortness of breath, fatigue, and dizziness when traveling in high altitude destinations in Peru such as on the Inca Trail, Arequipa, and the Sacred Valley. Symptoms of altitude sickness generally alleviate after 24-48 hours in altitude. Best practices for minimizing its impact on your trip include taking the time to acclimate, drinking lots of water, resting, avoiding alcohol, and eating light non-fatty foods upon arrival at altitude.

Consult with your doctor before traveling to high altitude destinations.

What is the elevation of the Sacred Valley compared to Cusco?

The altitude in the Sacred Valley is approximately 8,000 feet (2,400 meters) above sea level while Cusco city sits at 11,150 feet (3,399 meters) above sea level. Giving a difference of 3,150 feet (960 meters) between the two destinations with Cusco being higher in altitude than the Sacred Valley.

How long should I spend in the Sacred Valley?

1-2 days. As you make your way from Cusco to Machu Picchu, you’ll pass through the Sacred Valley. We recommend an overnight stay in the Sacred Valley to take advantage of the breathtaking mountain scenery from one of the top Sacred Valley hotels. Many wish they had even more time here.

What is there to see in the Sacred Valley?

Apart from the incredible natural vistas of the Urubamba River and mountain range, the Sacred Valley is home to many unmissable sites. Top-sites in the Sacred Valley include the enigmatic concentric circles of Moray, the Maras Salt Flats, Ollantaytambo Ruins, Pisac Ruins, and Pisac Market.

Where should I stay in the Sacred Valley? In Ollantaytambo town or a Sacred Valley resort hotel?

Ollantaytambo town is a small Andean town without any 5-star accommodations. It’s perfect for those looking for fewer amenities and more authenticity, those who want to wander Ollantaytambo town and market on their off-time, and those who don’t plan to spend more than one night.

A short drive outside of Ollantaytambo town are magazine-worthy hotels on large-scale properties that house all the amenities you would need for your stay without even needing to leave the hotel property. From beautiful to down-right luxurious, your Inca Expert travel advisor is likely to recommend a night in one of these properties.

How far is the Sacred Valley from Machu Picchu?

Sometimes included in definitions of the Sacred Valley, the ruins of Machu Picchu are located 33 miles (53 km) west of what is generally considered its center.

How long is the train from the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu?

The train journey from Ollantaytambo train station in the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu is ~1 hour and 50 minutes.

How far is the Sacred Valley from Cusco?

The Sacred Valley is 45-miles (72km) outside of Cusco. The train journey from Cusco train station to Ollantaytambo train station is ~1 hour and 30 minutes. A private transfer will take ~1 hour and 30 minutes (depending on traffic). Your private Sacred Valley tour with Inca Expert will take ~6 hours from pick up in Cusco to drop-off at your Sacred Valley hotel.

Should I go directly to the Sacred Valley after arriving at the Cusco airport?

The Sacred Valley is the perfect stop for those who are concerned about the effects of altitude sickness. At only 8,000 feet above sea level (compared to Cusco’s 11,150 feet) acclimatizing your body in the Sacred Valley upon arrival will be more gradual, though some minor symptoms of altitude sickness are still possible.

If you prefer to have ample culinary, shopping, and nightlife options, the city of Cusco would be the better place to stay upon arrival. Consult with your doctor about whether altitude medicine may work for you if you’d prefer to stay in bustling Cusco.

Everything You Need to Know About Visiting Peru’s Sacred Valley

The Sacred Valley is located to the north in the direction of Machu Picchu, 2 hours from Cusco by car. In the last 10 years it has become the favorite place for the people of Cusco and for tourists who quickly fall in love with its warm and agreeable climate and its tourist attractions

One of the closest places to the Sacred Valley is Pisac, located only 40 minutes by car from Cusco, or you could also go to the town of Chinchero which is approximately 1 hour from Cusco. Both routes connect you to the Sacred Valley and reach Ollantaytambo which is the last place to visit in the Sacred Valley before traveling to Machu Picchu.

if you love adventure and hikings we recommend visiting Pisac ruins, from where you will hike up to the summit where you will get one of the best views over the Sacred Valley then hike down through an Inca Trail to Pisac town, this route is also quite recommended for those who wish to warm up before starting the 4 day classic Inca Trail.

The Sacred Valley has countless places to see, even if you’re tired of seeing the stone ruins, the Maras salt flats can look white, brown, beige or red depending on the angle and light. Created and fed by a nearby spring, the salt is harvested by local families who own the place, most salt pools are handed down genrations keeping the tradition alive.

Moray is a place out of the ordinary that almost nobody expects to see, the ruins of Moray form circles exactly built and oriented to catch the sunlight during the day which makes each terrace create its own microclimate thus initiating the adjustment of different species of plants at different heights.

During your visit to the Sacred Valley buying the tourist ticket is essential since it will allow you access to all the ruins in the Sacred Valley, you should know that there are 2 types of tourist tickets; the full ticket costs 130 soles or 40 US dollars, and the 70 soles ticket which is only valid for two days and allows you to only visit the ruins in the Sacred Valley but not in Cusco. this tickets can be bought in any place you are going to visit, remember that before you make your trip to the Sacred Valley you must bring cash so you can avoid inconvenients.
