Please allow approximately three and a half hours for the entire experience.

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.

Lake Huaypo Kayaking & Biking to Maras

Begin your day on the serene waters of Lake Huaypo with a peaceful kayaking experience, surrounded by breathtaking Andean scenery and the chance to spot rare bird species. After a gourmet outdoor lunch, continue your adventure on mountain bikes, riding toward the awe-inspiring salt mines of Maras and passing through quiet villages where daily life unfolds in harmony with the land.

• Please allow approximately two hours for kayaking, three hours for biking, and up to seven hours for the entire experience.

• Pack shoes that can get wet and a change of clothes for the lake activity.

Explore Machu Picchu

Above a lush canyon, the citadel of Machu Picchu rises among mist and stone — a presence both powerful and serene. As you ascend on foot and by scenic drive, the first glimpse of its terraces and walls feels almost whispered, as if the mountain reveals itself only to those who arrive with quiet intent. With your local guide, explore this sacred sanctuary shaped by vision, stone and time. Each pathway opens a window into another world — where precision and reverence echo through carved rock and silence. This is more than a place; it is a quiet encounter with something enduring.

• Please allow approximately three hours for the guided route and four hours for the entire experience.
• You must present your passport to enter Machu Picchu Citadel.

Conquering Machu Picchu Mountain

From the gates of Machu Picchu, a quiet ascent begins. In the company of your local guide, follow stone steps that rise steadily toward Machu Picchu Mountain, a trail that traces the upper flanks of the citadel and occasionally follows the original Inca route. At the summit, a wide panoramic view opens over the valley and the site below, allowing a deeper sense of place and scale. The way back unfolds at a slower pace, with time to take in the stillness and surrounding peaks.

Please allow up to four hours hiking and up to five hours for the entire experience.
You must show your passport in order to be allowed to enter Machu Picchu Citadel.

Chocolate Workshop: From the Cacao Bean to Chocolate and much more

Step into the world of cacao and trace its transformation from bean to bar. Over the course of this hands-on experience, you will follow each stage of the process—from harvesting and roasting to grinding and moulding—gaining a deeper appreciation for the craft behind every piece of chocolate. Along the way, you will prepare and taste the first known chocolate drink, once enjoyed by the Mayas, and savour another rich cocoa-infused treat.

Please allow approximately one and a half to two hours for the full experience.
