Flight to Cuzco. Perched at 3,400 m altitude, Cuzco has the charm of Andean towns, somewhat spellbinding and full of light. Walking along its Inca walls, you will be struck by its extraordinary beauty, a blend of colonial, baroque and Inca influences.

Your adventure begins with the exploration of the magnificent archaeological site of Chinchero, where colonial buildings rest on Inca foundations. Hike along authentic Inca trails from Chinchero to the town of Urquillos. Explore the Maras salt pans and admire the concentric terraces of Moray.
Early start to reach the Pisaq market at first light.
Option to get there by mountain bike along the banks of the Urubamba river.
Roughly 3-hour hike from the community of Amaru to the community of Viacha, specialised in potato farming.
Continue on to the Inca sites and villages of the Lares Valley: visit the weaving village of Choquecancha. A roughly 3-hour hike through turquoise-blue lakes to the village of Huacahuasi, where you will stay for 2 nights; or a 7-hour hike along the “Trail of the 1,000 Lakes”. Visit the village, take a cooking class, and live at the heart of the community!
The following day, choose between a hike over the Lares pass along a canyon to the community of Totora, or a more demanding route to the village of Ollantaytambo.
Visit the village or explore the valley by mountain bike.
