Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Cusco to the Sacred Valley, where you’ll visit Chinchero, a charming Andean village and Inca archaeological site believed to have been the country estate of Emperor Tupac Yupanqui. From there, the group can choose between two inspiring experiences: an easy-to-moderate downhill hike from Chinchero to the town of Urquillos (subject to availability and additional cost) along ancient Inca trails, or a guided exploration of the Moray archaeological complex and the natural salt mines of Maras. Optional Activities: Massages (additional cost, subject to availability): Unwind with a one-hour massage session. We recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred time.

On this day, the group will have the option to choose how they wish to explore Pisaq. One option is a moderate hike from Amaru Viacha to the Pisaq archaeological site, following ancient mountain trails with stunning valley views. For a more cultural experience, enjoy a scenic drive to the town square and wander through its charming streets and colorful artisan market. After the activity, unwind with a moment of relaxation in the hot tub or by the bar, before the group gathers again for a traditional Pachamanca dinner back at Lamay Lodge.
