Immerse yourself in the magic of Cusco and its natural and cultural wonders over seven unforgettable days

Embark on an extraordinary journey through time and the most impressive landscapes of the Peruvian Andes. This seven-day, six-night tour has been carefully designed to offer a comprehensive experience combining the rich history of the ancient Inca Empire, colonial architecture, the spiritual energy of sacred sites, and the natural splendor of the Andes.

Begin your adventure in Cusco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where centuries of living history are revealed around every corner. Walk along cobblestone streets flanked by Inca walls and colonial facades. Visit temples, plazas, and markets that keep ancestral traditions alive.

From there, you will enter the magical, vibrant Sacred Valley of the Incas, where nature and Inca engineering merge in harmony. You will discover towns such as Pisac and Ollantaytambo, which boast impressive agricultural terraces and ceremonial centers, and have a deep connection to the Andean worldview.

The highlight of the trip is a visit to Machu Picchu, the sacred citadel rising among the mountain jungle, shrouded in mystery and majesty. There, you will be able to admire one of humanity's most amazing constructions, surrounded by an energizing and transformative atmosphere.

Next, you will hike to the stunning Humantay Lagoon, located at the foot of the snow-capped Salkantay mountain. The lagoon's turquoise waters, surrounded by imposing mountains, offer a dreamlike setting ideal for those seeking a deep connection with nature.

Finally, you will reach the Seven Colors Mountain (Vinicunca), one of Peru's most stunning geological phenomena. At over 16,000 feet above sea level, you will witness a unique visual spectacle: a mountain naturally striped with red, green, yellow, and purple minerals, making this hike an unforgettable experience.

This tour is perfect for travelers seeking a comprehensive Cusco experience that combines culture, nature, spirituality, and adventure.
