Description

Begin your adventure with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Cusco. Head to Urubamba, where you’ll enjoy a local breakfast before starting your hike. Follow a trail through a lush valley with queuña forests, Inca canals, and constant views of snow-capped peaks. Gradually gain altitude until you reach the first lagoons, with turquoise and emerald waters, surrounded by mountains and local shepherds with their llamas and alpacas. Take time to rest, take photos, and connect with the peace of the place while your guide shares stories about the Sacred Valley, Pumahuanca, and Yanahuara. On the way back, enjoy a picnic-style or local menu lunch before returning to Cusco.
