The Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu Holidays


south & central america
Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu holidays offer spectacular scenery, bustling markets and of course awe-inspiring archaeological ruins. Two of the most popular regions in the country, almost all holidays to Peru will include these remarkable regions and for very good reason.

Set between Cusco and Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley of the Incas is home to jaw dropping scenery, traditional Andean villages, colourful markets and several fascinating archaeological sites. Almost all our Peru private tours, small group tours and Peru luxury tours include at least a few days in the Sacred Valley to truly enjoy the stunning surroundings.

From the Sacred Valley, trek the iconic and challenging Inca Trail for an unrivalled first glimpse of Machu Picchu or if you're looking for a more refined experience, take a relaxing and luxurious train journey through the countryside to Machu Picchu. Mysteriously abandoned by the Incas and hidden amongst the jungle for centuries, the spectacular ‘Lost City of the Incas’ was re-discovered by American explorer Hiram Bingham in 1911. Named as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, Machu Picchu is as impressive and spectacular as you expect it to be.

Trailfinders offers a range of Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to travel through Peru on a luxury train, take a once in a lifetime private touring holiday or join an action-packed adventure filled small group tour - they are the perfect people to ask.
