TREKKING & HIKING

We offer short and long cross country hiking through the magic territory of the Sacred Valley, among scenic lakes, little known but marvelously engineered Inca constructions, Inca trails, straight and in terraced, some more physically demanding than others, depending on individual hiker’s experience.

Our hikes include the necessary transportation to pick up and leave hikers from starting and finishing points, first aid kit, a bilingual guide (two, if there are more than eight hikers), snacks, box lunch or picnic, depending on the route.

HALF DAY HIKE

PEROLNIYOC TREK

This is a mostly downhill walk between mountains where we will pass through the Raqaypata archaeological center and the Perolniyoc Waterfall. We will leave Urubamba for about 1 hour to the starting point of the trek. We will walk at the beginning in a gentle ascent, to then enter the ravine and take the old road to Raqaypata. After visiting the archaeological center, we will continue down with a view of the 80 m waterfall until we reach the base where we can cool off with the cold water. We will continue a little more until we reach our vehicle
