We start our day in the Sacred Valley of the Incas (2800 m), the cradle of the sacred river. This day, we will pass through picturesque towns and villages that still retain their imperial past. We will visit the Inca site of Pisac (3350 m) with its terraces, fountains, neighborhoods, observatories, and the largest cemetery in the region (almost 4,800 people buried).
Then, we will head towards the Lares Valley (3150 m) in a three-hour car ride. On the way, we will make some stops to enjoy stunning views. The day culminates near the hot springs at 37°C. It is recommended to bring a swimsuit to relax and enjoy the pools.

After breakfast, we prepare our llamas for an exciting day as we descend through the picturesque Lares Valley, which leads us toward the lush Amazon jungle. Along the way, we will marvel at the stunning views of the river below us.
Our day continues as we ascend towards the valley of Cochayoc, which translates from Quechua as "the town that has a lake." This area is primarily inhabited by shepherds, and we will have the chance to get close to herds of llamas, alpacas, and sheep.
Here, we will immerse ourselves in the hospitality of our hosts, sharing the evening to learn more about their rich customs and culture.

On our third day, we will enjoy panoramic views of Mount Terijuay and the charming Yanacocha lagoon. Our journey takes us to the Cuypan Pass (4550 m), and then we head towards the remarkable Pisac, ascending through the pass of the same name.
Although the climb is challenging, it is worth it for the extraordinary view it offers. We will then take a break by a picturesque lagoon for lunch and take in the majesty of various snow-capped peaks. Our next stop is at the welcoming home of a new family, located in Challhuachoca, a historically remote settlement where locals still communicate via radio.
