Meeting the herd and climbing to the vantage point
Your adventure begins in the historic village of Chinchero, where you'll meet the gentle llamas and alpacas that will become your companions on the route. During the first hour of the hike, we'll ascend to the Qori Huayrachina Vantage Point. From this strategic point, you'll marvel at the breathtaking panoramic views of the region's valleys and snow-capped peaks.
Archaeological exploration at MachuQolqa
After a refreshing break to take photos and enjoy a light snack, we'll continue the hike to the MachuQolqa Archaeological Site. Here, your guide will show you the ingenious pre-Inca and Inca engineering systems dedicated to food preservation. You'll discover how they built strategic storehouses designed to protect essential crops, such as tubers and corn, ensuring sustenance in times of drought or scarcity.
Interaction with camelids and community visit
At the end of the hike at our reception center, you'll reward your fellow travelers by offering them fresh grass. You'll have free time to spend with and interact with the whole herd, perfect for taking the best photo souvenirs and even meeting the most popular llama of the season. We will also visit the local guinea pig farm to learn about the historical and cultural role that these small animals play in the Andes.
Traditional Andean feast
When lunchtime comes, you'll enjoy a typical Peruvian menu made with fresh local ingredients. We'll share a comforting soup, a main course prepared with local recipes, and finish with the iconic chicha morada, the refreshing and traditional drink made from purple corn.
Ancient textile art and purposeful shopping
Finally, we'll immerse ourselves in the art of traditional weaving, the cornerstone of world-renowned Peruvian textiles. This ancient technique, handed down from generation to generation, is the soul of our community. You'll get to know the master weavers up close and visit our crafts gallery, the perfect place to buy fine handmade garments and genuine leather goods that will be the ideal souvenir of your trip.
