Embark on an unforgettable trekking exploration along one of the world's most iconic trails. Follow in the footsteps of the ancient Incas on the famous Qhapaq Ñan, the royal road network of the Inca Empire, as you trek on foot to the legendary Machu Picchu.
Ideal for travelers seeking a deep connection with nature through a contrasting rafting experience, where the most vital river of The Inca Empire, The Urubamba River, sets the pace across its sacred waters.
Perfect for those seeking an active and adventurous half-day to connect with nature and the sacred mountains of the Incas. With an adrenaline rush suitable for all, this exploration offers stunning views of the northwest region of the Sacred Valley, overlooking the Urubamba River and the surrounding villages and crops.
Inside Quebrada Yanahuara, following a small stream that descends from the glaciers and crosses an ancient forest, we will find tremendous biodiversity with native trees over 200 years old. After leaving the gorge we will visit Enisfera, a private reserve that preserves hummingbirds, where we will observe these beautiful birds, which are characteristic of the valley.
On this occasion we will be behind the massif of Pitusiray, the apu or mountain lord of Calca province, and walk along the edge of a mountain range where we will have the chance to see different lagoons and the slopes of Quebrada Calca and Quebrada Lamay, along with folds of the earth's crust that add drama to Andean geology.
Following an old Inca road still used by the region's inhabitants to trade products between Pampa de Anta and the Sacred Valley, we go into the ravine until we reach Wata, an old ceremonial center on the mountain peak that predates the Incan era and has spectacular views of the mountain range and the Quebrada Huarocondo.
We will explore the Spanish influence through art and the religious syncretism that the cultural encounter fostered. We begin with a visit to the first of the three Canicunca churches, before walking to the Huaro church and then heading to the Andahuaylillas church, where we will visit the choir and the museum. We will end with lunch in a wetland accompanied by native birds.
