Embark on an unforgettable hike from the picturesque town of Chinchero to the charming town of Urquillos , traveling along ancient Inca trails and exploring landscapes that seem straight out of a dream. This hiking tour is a perfect adventure for those who want to connect with the history, nature and culture of the Sacred Valley.
We begin our adventure in Chinchero, a town known for its rich textile tradition and its impressive archaeological complex. Here, we will explore the Inca ruins, admiring the terraces and buildings that still stand as witnesses to the glorious past of this civilization. After concluding our tour of the archaeological site, we headed towards the beginning of an ancient and cobbled Inca road.
This trail, which crosses a spectacular forest-covered ravine, will take us on an exciting descent towards the Sacred Valley. Along the way, you will be rewarded with stunning views of the mountain range that surrounds the valley, with its imposing natural panorama.

Halfway there, we will detour to discover one of the best kept secrets of the Sacred Valley: the Poc waterfall Poc , a serene corner where you can relax and enjoy the freshness of the surroundings before continuing our journey.
Finally, we will return to the main trail that will take us to the quiet town of Urquillos , where our transportation service will be waiting to take you back.
