Locals Only Sacred Valley
This “locals only” take on the Sacred Valley allows adventurous travelers to avoid the masses and get a look at (and taste of) the rural treasures that the locals have enjoyed for generations. The itinerary is flexible depending on the preferences of the traveler, as well as the goings-ons of the particular day. Choose between markets, small villages, local farms, learning traditional cooking, meeting artisans and more. Whatever you choose, prepare for an authentic encounter in the heart of the Andes.
Please allow up to four hours for the entire experience.
Four-wheel Adventure in Maras & Moray
An adrenaline rush for the adventurous traveler. You will cross the postcard-like Sacred Valley on your ATV and you set the pace. Head by car to Cruzpata where, after a short security briefing, hop on your all-terrain vehicles and head off for Moray via the Mahuaypampa route. For safety reasons, you will take back roads meaning you may get a little dirty. Underway, you will see locals at work in traditional clothes, picturesque villages, nature’s best landscapes, unique archaeological sites and more. Explore the ruins of Moray, terraced depressions in the earth, whose purpose remains uncertain. Although their crop circle-like appearance invites otherworldly hypotheses, we think these unusual Inca ruins were actually a sophisticated crop laboratory designed to study the optimum growing conditions for different species. Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch, quad-drive back to Cruzpata and head to the Maras salt mines, where seeing the locals mine for salt by hand is truly a unique experience. You will have the option to buy some salt directly from the source, supporting the local economy and making an excellent souvenir.
Please allow approximately three and a half hours riding and six hours for the entire experience.

Hike Puka Pukara & Inkilltambo
To start your day, head over to the intriguing archaeological site of Puka Pukara to discover one of the most important sites in Cusco’s history. Continue to the Tambomachay Valley where you will spot archaeological remains and take in all of the valley’s colourful fauna and flora while enjoying its amazing panoramic views. The most breathtaking sight, however, will surprise you suddenly after four kilometres (2.5 miles) of walking: Inkilltambo, also known as Inca Jail, sits proudly between the rural landscapes. Enclosed by agricultural terraces, the site used to be a religious centre and hold important connections with astronomy. The complex has two levels and maze-like narrow passageways connecting elaborately carved rocks, altars, sacred caves, stairways, and pre-Hispanic canals. Once you have explored everything, walk to the Huayracpunco area, from where you will be transferred back to Cusco.
Please allow approximately three hours hiking including the site visits and four hours for the entire experience.

This is the desert that borders with the famous Paracas National Reserve and will give you a great glimpse of one of South America’s largest deserts. Experience the thrill of riding the buggies going high speed up and down the dunes for a full effect adrenaline rush. You may have the option to try sandboarding if you feel like going for more speed thrills. We recommend to take this excursion at the end of the afternoon so you can watch the sunset from the dunes.
