Between traditional communities and turquoise lakes, remote villages and imposing peaks, Inca sites and demanding passes, between 3,800 and 4,500 metres above sea level, trekking in the Sacred Valley is a unique experience. Along authentic Inca trails, including the famed Inca Trail, breathtaking views over the Andes and the valley unfold before you. This majestic Eden remains nonetheless authentic: around a bend in the canyons, you’re likely to encounter herds of llamas and alpacas.
This is the ideal excursion to experience the Sacred Valley as it once was, in all its richness and mysticism.
