Sacred Valley
Best time to visit
The best time to visit is in the morning or afternoon when the light beautifully reflects off the terraces and the wind is less strong. March to May brings fresh greenery and clear skies.
Budget tips
The visit is inexpensive thanks to a combined ticket for several locations, which can be purchased at the entrance and saves money. Some markets do not require admission and are worth seeing.

- Visit the markets early in the morning when there are fewer tourists and the products are fresh.
