Explorations in
Machu Picchu & Sacred Valley

Inside Quebrada Yanahuara, following a small stream that descends from the glaciers and crosses an ancient forest, we will find tremendous biodiversity with native trees over 200 years old. After leaving the gorge we will visit Enisfera, a private reserve that preserves hummingbirds, where we will observe these beautiful birds, which are characteristic of the valley.

On this occasion we will be behind the massif of Pitusiray, the apu or mountain lord of Calca province, and walk along the edge of a mountain range where we will have the chance to see different lagoons and the slopes of Quebrada Calca and Quebrada Lamay, along with folds of the earth's crust that add drama to Andean geology.

Following an old Inca road still used by the region's inhabitants to trade products between Pampa de Anta and the Sacred Valley, we go into the ravine until we reach Wata, an old ceremonial center on the mountain peak that predates the Incan era and has spectacular views of the mountain range and the Quebrada Huarocondo.

There is a stretch of the Inca road between the valley and the Urubamba Canyon that used to connect the Sacred Valley with Machu Picchu. As we hike along it, we will observe the imposing rapids of the Urubamba River and the hanging glaciers of the Apu Verónica or Wakaywillca. As we approach the beginning of the canyon, we will visit Salapunku, an enigmatic archaeological center that probably belonged to the Royal Panaka of the Inca Pachacuteq.
