Places we visited during the Super Sacred Tour

Pisaq archaeological site
Pisaq is one of the most beautiful archeological sites from the Inca Empire. Located on a mountain top, very well protected from possible invasion, this stunning place houses one of the largest Ancient Inca Cemetery with more than 10000 tombs. Explore the urban area surrounded by impressive walls and marvel with the sophisticated agriculture terrace system adapted to the mountain shape.

Pisaq Market
Located in the central part of the current city, the colonial-style city of Pisaq is famous for housing the biggest hand-crafted goods and textile markets, the market is tourist-oriented nowadays but on Sundays, we can still see local people from the surrounding villages arrive at the town with vegetable and goods to sell and shop from the town what they need to return home, this tradition comes from the Inca Period where Pisaq was trading center where Incas used to exchange products with other cities.

Ollantaytambo
Ollantaytambo, a former political, economic, and administrative center in the northern part of the Inca Empire, used as a Stronghold during the Battle of Ollantaytambo in 1537 between Inca emperor Manco Inca’s forces and Spanish conquistadors led by Hernando Pizarro. The town has been continuously occupied since the 14th century, lying over the Inca foundation with cobblestone streets and water canals that still brings water to the city. The locals still use the streets and original doorways.  Also is outstanding the religious Archaeological site with temples built with enormous granite boulders brought from another mountain located 5 km away.

Moray
Located in teh upper of the Sacred Valley, Moray is home to 4 terraced circular shape depressions on the ground. The deepest depression is 30 meters deep, is widely believed that this natural depression was used as Greenhouses. The different levels on each terrace have different temperatures and this is how there were used for agricultural experimentation and adaptation of different crops to different climates.

Salineras
Located near the town of Maras, Salineras contains more than 3000 salt ponds. The spring with salty water is located in the upper of the complex, the villagers of Maras collect the salt using the evaporation system, a process that takes up to a month to get the salt and deliver to local markets, each member of Maras village owns a certain number of ponds and all together they make a Local company called MARASAL.

Roger was the consummate guide: he was patient and helped us pace perfectly. His handle on Incan history was thorough and he shared numerous stories with us about the ruins and culture. The porters and chefs were wonderful and hard-working. We appreciated the whole TrexPerience team. Thank you!

Una experiencia inolvidable en Perú – Recorrido Lares / Machu Picchu con el mejor guía. Nuestro viaje a Perú fue simplemente extraordinario, y gran parte de esa experiencia se la debemos a Gary, nuestro guía durante el trekking por el circuito de Lares hasta Machu Picchu. Desde el primer momento, Gary demostró una calidad humana y profesional excepcional. Conocedor profundo de la historia, la cultura y la naturaleza andina, nos acompañó con paciencia, entusiasmo y una dedicación que hizo que cada paso del camino fuera especial. El recorrido por Lares fue una combinación perfecta de aventura, paisajes imponentes y contacto genuino con comunidades locales. Cada detalle estuvo cuidadosamente planificado, lo que nos permitió disfrutar sin preocupaciones y aprender muchísimo. Toda mi familia terminó este viaje no solo feliz, sino profundamente agradecida por la experiencia vivida. Nos sentimos cuidados, contenidos y motivados durante todo el trayecto. Sin dudas repetiríamos la experiencia, y si es con Gary como guía, aún mejor. ¡Gracias por hacer de este viaje algo tan especial!

Excelente servicio. Son una empresa muy seria y los guias son espectaculares y muy profesionales. Brindaron apoyo durante todo el circuito, estaban muy atentos al estado de salud de todos los pasajeros. El servicio en 100% bilingue. Los equipos que la empresa proporciona para alquilar, son de excelente calidad, las bolsa camas son adecuadas para los campamentos, y en siempre proporcionan abrigo extra por si el pasajero necesita, las carpas son amplias y estan en excelente estado, en uno de los campamentos, inclusive, proporcionaron bolsas de agua caliete. En cuanto a las comidas, merecen un capitulo aparte, ya que los cocineros se ocupan de las dietas especiales; y así también la comida en general es excelente. El menú incluye un arcoiris de verduras y frutas, también carnes de pollo, pescado y vaca. Acceso ilimitado a infusiones, y agua potable para todo el trayecto. Una de mis compañeras no pudo terminar el trek, y se le brindaron opciones accesibles para poder retornar al hotel. En oportunidad que nos encontramos cansadas, tuvimos la opcion de acceder a un caballo, o una mobilidad. Los guias son super respetuosos, la empresa es seria y brindan todo el asesoramiento que puedas requerir, por whatsapp, y a distancia. La propuesta que te envian en pdf, es exactamente lo que vivirás luego. Todo esta perfectamente aclarado antes de arrancar, no existen las sorpresas. Muy recomendable servicio. Muy profesional, y además de origen local, porque es una empresa de Cusco. No duden en contratar esta empresa, en cualquiera de sus propuestas. Es una experiencia inolvidable.

The Sacred Valley Tour was truly unforgettable, thanks to our guide Katia. Her passion for Inca culture, deep knowledge, and warm personality made every moment special. She brought history to life with engaging stories and shared insights you won’t find in any guidebook. With Katia, it felt like we truly experienced the valley — not just visited it. Highly recommended!

We did the four-day Inca trail and highly recommend TreXperience. They handled all the details including airport transfers, tours, hotel, hike, train from Macchu Picchu and care for our vegetarian diet. They made it so easy and created a magical experience for us. Guide Jose Luis and his assistant Sergio were excellent. Their knowledge and passion of the area and history were beyond compare. They made sure we were taken care of and even used detective skills to track down our lost iPhone which we got back! Definitely book if you're on the fence!
