Get way off the beaten path with this moderately challenging trek. Have the trail to yourself as you climb 2 big mountain passes and get rewarded with unbelievable views of the milky way, rivers, and the Ancascocha Lake and Valley. One of the Sacred Valley’s best kept secrets, this trek takes you through local communities, passed stunning waterfalls, and offers some of the most spectacular 360-degree views in all of Peru. As an added bonus – you also get to see the beginning of the Classic Inca Trail before continuing on to Machu Picchu. What more could you ask for?
This is a full-service trek where you only carry a day pack. All gear, food, and tents are carried by porters and pack animals.
