Visit Pisac Archaeological Site and Calca Market (from Sacred Valley)
High in the Sacred Valley, the archaeological site of Pisac stretches across well-preserved terraces that follow the natural shape of the mountain. Once an important ceremonial and agricultural centre, it holds the only known Inca sun dial outside of Machu Picchu, overlooking a valley still guided by its cycles.
Further down, Calca offers a closer look at everyday life. Its market is active and authentic, with stalls offering herbs, flowers and seasonal produce. Tradition here is lived rather than displayed, forming a natural part of the community’s daily rhythm.
Please allow approximately four hours for the entire experience.
Visit Chinchero, Moray & Maras
Set in the highlands, Chinchero combines open landscapes with traces of Inca architecture and daily village life. On market days, you’ll find textiles displayed in the main square, local families gathered, and a steady pace shaped by longstanding customs.
Nearby, visit the circular terraces of Moray, once used for agricultural experimentation, and continue to the salt ponds of Maras, where hundreds of pools are still harvested by hand. Both sites reflect a deep relationship between people, land and tradition.
Please allow approximately six hours for the entire experience.
Hike Wayna Picchu (with local guide)
The hike to Wayna Picchu begins near the citadel, following a narrow and steep path with your expert local guide. It calls for steady footing and caution, with views that open up gradually as you move higher into the mountain. From the summit, the perspective over Machu Picchu and the surrounding peaks is truly striking. The descent is taken at a slower pace, offering time to absorb the landscape from a new angle. It is an active experience that brings together challenge, history and a different way of connecting with the site.
Please allow up to two hours hiking and up to four hours for the entire experience. | You must show your passport in order to be allowed to enter Machu Picchu Citadel. | This experience is not recommended for travellers with limited mobility or fear of heights.
