The Sacred Valley is vast and stretches for miles with many small indigenous towns, Camelid farm, secluded weaving villages, and ancient Inca Ruins including Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Urubamba. The tour starts at the massive Pisac ruins with its impressive Inca cemetery of more than 2,000 tombs, engineered farming terraces carved into the mountain, the Inca tunnel and the religious area of this important citadel. The ATV tour includes the Salt Mines in Maras which has thousands of salt ponds carved into the mountainside fed by natural springs above; and the Terraces of Moray, built in the form of an amphitheater and have different temperatures at each level to grow crops. It was watered through a complex irrigation system and allowed the cultivation of the Incas to grow over 250 types of vegetables. The tour ends at the fascinating and imposing site of Ollantaytambo, a truly impressive Inca ruin with the Sun Temple, the water fountains, the temple of Inkawatana and the impressive storehouses.
Pick up from your hotel at 7:30 am in our private van and head to the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
Our first stop is the Manos de la Comunidad, which has a variety of Camelids indigenous to Peru like the llama, alpaca and guanacos. The Vicuna that produces very fine wool and can only be shorn every three years. Visit the farm to pet, feed and take pictures with the animals. At Manos de la Comunidad are local women dressed in local garments. See them weaving items using the wool from these animals. As you exit, encounter a museum and souvenir shop. The workers are always around to answer any questions, but you should never feel pressurized to buy anything.
Stop at the Mirador of Taray to enjoy a beautiful overhead view of the Urubamba valley, which accents the surrounding mountains. Later, head to the Pisac archaeological site, where the biggest Inca cemetery with more than 2,000 tombs lining the mountain side is located. Learn more about the value of the site in terms of Agriculture. Explore the many Inca farming terraces, food storage warehouses at the top of the hill and the water channels for irrigation purposes.
Then, we drive to Urubamba for lunch, passing small farming towns like Coya and Calca before stopping at Urubamba for a delectable buffet lunch. The restaurant has an impressive spread of different foods and is vegan and vegetarian friendly. There is a variety of fresh vegetables, salads, protein dishes, desserts and tea and coffee.
On our way to ATV camp, the guide covers the correct use of the ATVs so we are ready to get going on our way to the Salt Mines. Enjoy this incredible historical site, that has been mined since pre-Inca times and continues to be the bread and butter for this small community. A salt stream above feeds the thousands of salt pans, once the water has evaporated the salt is collected and sold. These salt mines are one of the few left in the world that produce a natural pink salt. The locals have full mining rights and all the salt sold on site belongs to the locals. A great place to grab another souvenir.
Back to our ATVs, we are on our way to the archaeological site of Moray which is an agricultural laboratory from the Inca time, where they created various micro-climates for growing food. These terraces were carved before the Incas took control of the Sacred Valley. This site was used by the Incas to research optimal growing conditions for their crops. The Incas brought in different soil samples from other regions, to optimize their research. Local people were still using it for growing their crops, until the 1970s when it was taken back by the government to preserve and protect for tourism. After our guided tour of this incredibly unique site, we get back on our ATVs going through the Maras Moray area back to the ATV camp. Later we head to Ollantaytambo by private van, our last stop.
Explore this quaint Inca village and the amazing Inca Ruins on the hilltop above. These ruins are where the Incas fought their last battle with the Spanish conquerors, before they had to retreat and flee into the dense jungle. Most of the structures were unfortunately incomplete. There is a section with a number of boulders that were carved, but didn’t make it to their destination.
After our tour ends in Ollantaytambo, we drive you back to Cusco arriving at around 6:30pm.
No other travel agency except Orange Nation visits all of these sites in their Sacred Valley Tour with ATV tour included!

We were short on time during our trip to Peru, so we decided to do the 1-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Everything was very well organised. We were collected from our hotel and taken to the train, where our journey to the trail began. The first part of the hike was a bit challenging, but it was absolutely worth it. The views of the mountains and the surrounding nature were breathtaking. Reaching the Sun Gate and seeing Machu Picchu for the first time was incredible. After the tour, we were taken back by train and dropped off at our hotel. I would highly recommend this hike to anyone visiting Peru, especially if you're short on time but still want to experience the Inca Trail. I also highly recommend our guide, Antonio. He was brilliant, incredibly knowledgeable, and shared so much interesting information about Machu Picchu, its history, and the local flora throughout the trek. He also allowed us to take breaks whenever we needed them.

I did the Rainbow Mountain tour, and I was the only one in the group who walked up the mountain. My guide Henry stayed with me the whole way, encouraging me and taking lots of photos along the trail. A truly great experience.

We had an amazing time with Henry our guide on our trek to Rainbow Mountian. With an early pick we left Cusco for the long car ride to Rainbow mountain with a quick stop for breakfast. When we got there Henry helped us reserve horses (highly recommend) and we started towards the mountain. The terrain, snow capped mountains and sediment settlement are a treat to see but it is worth the 10 extra minutes to the top. Because we had the horses we were able to take a long time at the top to take in all of the beautiful wonders. Henry allowed us time to explore and gave us wonderful information about how this beautiful wonder was formed. We definitely got more than our money's worth out of this gem!

Following a great 2-day Inca Trail experience with SAM Travel, I signed up for the one-day Rainbow Mountain + Red Valley trek. Once again our group was small, just 4 people. Junior was our guide - he was friendly and knowledgeable. He seamlessly adjusted to our request for an earlier start time to beat the crowds, and also managed varying group member speeds / fitness levels well. Another positive experience with SAM Travel - highly recommend booking with them, especially if you are a solo traveler.

Rainbow mountain hike provided for gorgeous views, bunch of alpaca. At up to 5000 meters it provided for a healthy challenge even if the profile does not look that impressive…. Our guide - Cesar Siccos - was with us the whole way and provided the necessary support to get over the challenge. Great day out.
