What Is a Sacred Valley Taxi Service?

A Sacred Valley Taxi Service is private transportation from Cusco that allows you to visit several of the valley’s main attractions with your own vehicle and professional driver. Your driver picks you up from your hotel in Cusco, transports you between the selected destinations, waits at the designated areas while you explore independently, and finishes the journey in Ollantaytambo.

Choose our Classic Route through Chinchero, Moray and Maras, or the Extended Route through Pisac, Urubamba, Moray and Maras.

This is private transportation with a professional driver, not a guided tour. A licensed professional tour guide can be added separately.

Your driver waits at the designated vehicle areas while you independently explore the archaeological and cultural attractions included in your selected route. Once you finish each visit, meet your driver and continue to the next destination.

Convenient for Machu Picchu Travelers

Finishing in Ollantaytambo makes this service particularly useful for travelers staying overnight in town or continuing their journey toward Machu Picchu by train. Your driver can drop you off at your Ollantaytambo hotel or train station, according to your confirmed reservation.
