Adventure
6 - 8 hours AM Upon request
Cusco is full of impressive landscapes hidden amongst the
Apus and protected by the Pachamama, making it a paradise
for trekking lovers anxious to discover terrestrial treasures.
Offering connection and disconnection at the same time,
this is a perfect way to tune into nature and exchange the
chaos of the city for the quiet company of the surrounding
mountains and stars.
Embark on an adventure that takes you across the
Intu
unforgettable Inca Trail or Salkantay Mountain demands
a time commitment that not all can afford. If you only have
a few days in Cusco, but you are still interested in taking a
hike into the heart of the Inca Empire, we offer you equally
fascinating full-day options.
For those looking for a one-of-a-kind cultural encounter,
hiking through Choquechaca and Huilloc is the way to go.
Both communities boast traditions inherited from Inca
times, like their clothing, work distribution, and language.
Participate in different activities, visit towns, learn about
customs like cooking and weaving, participate in ritual
offerings to the earth, and discover nearby archaeological
sites. All this and more in an incredibly unique and gorgeous
green valley with amazing views at every turn.
If you are looking to familiarise yourself with Inca history,
there are two interesting programme options: Chinchero-
Urquillo, and Maras-Moray. These tours will introduce a unique
perspective of the more typical tour circuits the Sacred Valley
has to offer. Forget the buses and make your way by foot, down
paths that have been continuously used by locals for hundreds
of years. Become familiar with the Inca legacy as you tour the
Chinchero and Moray Archaeological Sites, and learn about the
wonderful riches the earth has to offer in these places, like the
famous Urquillo corn, and the Maras Salt Pools.
Do you want to discover unique places? If so, the Huchuy
Qosqo and the Balcon del Diablo (Devil’s Balcony) sites are for
you. While notably impressive, Huchuy Qosqo – thought to be
one of the Inca’s residencies – is still not heavily frequented by
tourists. Meanwhile, Balcon del Diablo brings together nature
and legacy: a rock formation carved by the Incas as a place
dedicated to the worship of water, with a platform that acts as
Intu
a balcony, and a gorgeous cave with a waterfall.
