The Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu in two days, in small groups of up to 8 people
Sumac Llacta is the 2-day package that covers the two essential Cusco tours on back-to-back days, with no idle days and in small groups of up to 8 people. On day one, you tour the Sacred Valley: Chinchero and its farming and weaving traditions, a buffet lunch in Urubamba, the fortress town of Ollantaytambo, and Pisac, with its archaeological complex and market.
Day two is the full excursion to the Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary: a road transfer to Ollantaytambo, panoramic train to Aguas Calientes, Consettur bus to the sanctuary, and a guided tour, with free time afterward to explore on your own. The current circuits are published by the Ministry of Culture.
It costs US$ 530 per person, with almost everything covered: Partial Cusco Tourist Ticket (Boleto Turístico Parcial), Maras salt mines, round-trip train, Consettur bus, Machu Picchu entrance ticket, bilingual guide, and 2 lunches. If you want to add the Cusco City Tour and a dinner show, see the 3-day Saquisqa Awquicuna package; and if you would rather go by road and spend less, try Machu Picchu by Car.

Frequently asked questions
Here are answers to the most common questions, so you can book with peace of mind.
Do I need to acclimatize before the Sumac Llacta package?
It is a good idea. Both days take place at a lower altitude than Cusco city (the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu sit lower), but they are long days with early starts, so it is best to arrive rested and to have spent at least one day in the city.
How difficult is the package?
Moderate. There is no trekking, but there are walks over terraces and stone staircases at Ollantaytambo, Pisac, and Machu Picchu. It suits families and travelers without special fitness; bring comfortable shoes.
Which tickets do I need to buy separately?
The package already includes the Partial Cusco Tourist Ticket (Boleto Turístico Parcial), the Maras salt mines, and the Machu Picchu entrance ticket. You pay separately for Wayna Picchu, if you decide to add it, and for the hot springs in Aguas Calientes.
What time does it start and how long does it take?
The program lasts 2 days. On day one, pickup is around 6:30 a.m. and the Sacred Valley tour ends around 6 p.m. On day two, you do the full excursion to Machu Picchu, leaving very early in the morning.
What should I bring?
Comfortable shoes for walking on stone, layered clothing and a windbreaker, a rain poncho, a warm hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, water, cash for shopping and tips and, without fail, your original passport to enter Machu Picchu.
How do booking and payment work?
Before you buy, please contact us to confirm availability, since train tickets and Machu Picchu entrance tickets are issued in each traveler’s name and are limited. The tour price is US$ 530 per person. Then we sort out each traveler’s details and the logistics with you.
What happens if the weather affects one of the outings?
The program runs year-round. In the rainy season, bring a rain poncho, since almost all the visits are outdoors. If something unexpected happens with the weather or with train or sanctuary operations, we agree with you on the best possible alternative.
How much does the 2-day Sumac Llacta package cost?
The price is US$ 530 per person. It includes pickup from your accommodation in Cusco’s historic center, round-trip transportation on both tours, a bilingual tour guide, the round-trip panoramic train ticket, the Consettur bus, the entrance ticket to the Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary, the Partial Cusco Tourist Ticket (Boleto Turístico Parcial), entrance to the Maras salt mines, and 2 lunches.
What is the advantage over booking the two tours separately?
Logistics. The two days are linked and run by the same operator, with groups of up to 8 people and a single pickup point, instead of two bookings with different schedules and suppliers. On top of that, the train tickets and Machu Picchu entrance tickets are sorted out from the start, which is usually the trickiest part when you book on your own.
