Description

Escape the city and experience a unique overnight adventure in the Sacred Valley near Maras, surrounded by vast Andean landscapes and breathtaking mountain views. After pickup in Cusco, travel through scenic countryside and traditional farming communities until you reach your campsite, set in a privileged location with panoramic views of the snow-capped peaks of Chicón, Verónica, and Pumahuanca. Upon arrival, settle into your tent and take time to absorb the tranquility of the highlands. Your experience begins with a guided nature walk through open fields and rolling hills. As you explore, keep your eyes on the sky and surrounding cliffs—this area is home to remarkable birdlife. With some luck, you may observe Andean eagles soaring above, as well as kestrels, caracaras, owls, and other native species. Your guide will share insights about local wildlife, ecosystems, and traditional agricultural practices that still shape daily life in the valley. For those seeking a deeper exploration, longer hikes are available across more remote sections of the landscape. These extended walks offer a greater sense of immersion and the possibility of spotting Andean foxes moving across the hills in their natural habitat. Back at camp, enjoy free time to relax, take photos, or simply disconnect while surrounded by fresh mountain air. You will also participate in a target shooting activity, adding a fun and interactive element to your outdoor experience. As the sun begins to set behind the mountains, the valley transforms with warm golden light. Gather around a bonfire and unwind under a vast Andean sky. Far from city lights, the stargazing here is exceptional, creating a peaceful and memorable evening atmosphere. The next morning, wake up early to witness a spectacular Andean sunrise illuminating the surrounding peaks. Watch as the first light touches Chicón, Verónica, and Pumahuanca, creating an unforgettable natural spectacle. Afterward, enjoy a traditional Andean breakfast prepared with local ingredients before returning to Cusco feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply connected to nature. This experience combines adventure, wildlife observation, mountain scenery, and cultural immersion—perfect for travelers seeking something beyond the ordinary in the Sacred Valley.
