Yucay Tours & Activities | Discover the Sacred Valley

Nestled in the heart of the Sacred Valley, Yucay is a quiet Andean village that offers travelers a peaceful escape surrounded by majestic mountains, terraced fields, and traditional Peruvian culture. With its friendly atmosphere and beautiful natural scenery, it's an ideal base for exploring the attractions of the valley or simply relaxing in an authentic rural setting.

A Glimpse into the Past

Yucay has a rich history, once serving as an important estate for Inca nobility. The village still preserves traces of this heritage, including original stonework, ancient irrigation canals, and colonial-era buildings. Walking through its streets is like stepping back in time.

When to Go

The best time to visit is from May to September, when the days are dry and sunny—perfect for outdoor activities and seeing the lush landscapes at their finest. The rainy season, from November to March, brings fewer tourists and a peaceful atmosphere, but some trails may be muddy.

How do I get there?

Yucay is located between Urubamba and Pisac, about an hour’s drive from Cusco. Frequent taxis, buses, and private transfers are available, making access convenient for visitors.
