Please allow approximately three to four hours for the entire experience.
Visit Pisac Archaeological Site and Calca Market
Begin your journey in the highlands above the Sacred Valley, where the ancient archaeological site of Pisac unfold across the mountainside. Once a significant ceremonial and agricultural centre, Pisac is home to the only remaining Inca sun dial outside of Machu Picchu. As you explore its temples and terraces, the panoramic views over the valley below are nothing short of extraordinary.
Continue to the charming andean town of Calca, nestled at the foot of the eastern range. Its lively market offers a vivid glimpse into everyday life, with stalls overflowing with local produce, herbs, and flowers — a timeless meeting place where tradition and exchange come alive.
Please allow approximately four hours for the entire experience.
Visit Chinchero, Moray & Maras
Begin in Chinchero, a highland village set among vast open plains, where ancient stonework frames sweeping views of the APUS (mountains). The market, particularly vibrant on Sundays, is a glimpse into daily life — a place where neighbours trade textiles, products, and stories in a rhythm unchanged for generations.
Continue to Moray, a striking site of circular terraces believed to have served as an agricultural testing ground. Then descend to Maras, where glistening salt ponds spill down the mountainside and local families still harvest by hand — a quiet, enduring craft that supports the community and invites you to take a piece of the Andes home with you.
Please allow approximately six hours for the entire experience.
Hike Wayna Picchu (with local guide)
Your experience begins with a short walk from your hotel and a 20-minute bus ride to the entrance of Machu Picchu. From there, together with your local guide, begin the hike to Wayna Picchu — a demanding yet deeply rewarding trail that climbs along stone pathways and weaves through cloud forest terrain. Some sections are narrow and steep, but the views from the summit more than make up for the effort, offering a remarkable panoramic perspective of the citadel and its surrounding peaks.
The entire route takes around two hours, allowing time to rest and take in the landscape from above. The descent unfolds at a gentler pace, inviting quiet reflection as you make your way down. This is an ideal experience for travellers seeking to explore Machu Picchu from a more active and elevated point of view.
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.
Highlights of Cusco and San Blas
Uncover the many layers of Cusco’s identity on a walk through its storied streets. From the graceful architecture around the Main Square to the artisan soul of San Blas, this journey reveals how civilisations have shaped, overlapped, and echoed through time.
Your guide will share insights into temples turned churches, Inca paths that still pulse beneath the city, and how San Blas evolved from a sacred place of creation into a haven for artists and thinkers — a transformation still visible in its studios and cobbled lanes.
Please allow approximately three hours for the entire experience.
