Visit Chinchero

Perched high on the windswept plains of the Sacred Valley, Chinchero is a town where the past lingers in stone and sky. Built upon ancient Inca foundations, its timeworn walls and panoramic views invite quiet reflection, while the true soul of the place reveals itself in its vibrant market.

Here, villagers from across the region gather to trade textiles, food, and crafts in a tradition that has endured for generations. Any day of the week offers a glimpse into this living culture, but on Sundays the town comes alive with its most vivid expressions.

Please allow approximately three hours for the entire experience.

Locals Only Sacred Valley

Step off the beaten path and into the rhythms of daily life in the Sacred Valley, guided by local knowledge and spontaneity. This flexible experience adapts to your preferences and the spirit of the day—whether that means strolling through village markets, joining a cooking session with seasonal ingredients, visiting family-run farms, or meeting artisans in their workshops. It’s an invitation to discover the valley’s quieter corners, where tradition is lived rather than displayed.

Please allow approximately four hours for the entire experience.

Hike to the Devil's Balcony

Enjoy majestic Andean scenery during the mild ascent to the Devil’s Balcony exploring the rock formations, caves and crevices created by mother nature’s river and winds. End with a visit to Sacsayhuaman, a splendid ruin of religious and military significance, positioned perfectly to watch over Cusco. 

Please allow approximately two hours hiking and four hours for the entire experience.

Dune Buggy Adventure in Paracas

Set off on an exhilarating ride through the golden dunes surrounding Paracas, just a short drive from your hotel. Bordering the vast Paracas National Reserve, this otherworldly landscape offers sweeping views of one of South America’s great deserts. Your expert driver will navigate the undulating terrain at thrilling speeds, climbing and plunging across towering dunes. For those seeking an added rush, sandboarding may also be available. The ideal time for this adventure is late afternoon, when the desert is bathed in amber light and the sun slips beneath the horizon in a breathtaking finale.

Please allow approximately two hours for the entire experience.

Ballestas Islands Yachting

Embark on a private yacht journey to the Ballestas Islands, where comfort meets the untamed beauty of the Pacific. As you glide across calm waters, a chef and bartender attend to you with a curated selection of small bites and refreshing drinks. Around you, sea lions and seabirds animate the coastline, their presence a vivid contrast to the stillness of the sea. Time stretches gently here, shaped by the breeze and the rhythm of the wild.

Please allow approximately three hours for the entire experience.

Nazca Lines Overflight

From the Pisco aerodrome, take flight over one of Peru’s most intriguing ancient legacies. The Nazca Lines emerge from the desert as vast geometric shapes and animal figures, visible only from above. The Hummingbird, the Monkey, and the Spider are just a few of the geoglyphs that have sparked wonder for generations. Preserved by the desert’s extreme aridity, these markings continue to defy explanation, offering a rare glimpse into a long-lost worldview.

• Please allow approximately one and a half hours for the overflight. 

• Kindly note that the exact schedule depends on weather conditions and passenger numbers, and will only be confirmed one day prior.
