✨ A Journey Through the Sacred Valley: Where the Spirit of the Inca Awakens
Embark on a private full-day journey through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, a land where history, nature, and spirituality intertwine. Departing from Cusco at 7:30 a.m., we travel through fertile landscapes that once nourished the heart of the Inca Empire. At the Taray Viewpoint, you’ll take in a breathtaking panorama of the Vilcanota River winding through the valley, surrounded by majestic mountains once revered as sacred.
Our next stop is Pisac, an archaeological wonder with agricultural terraces and solar temples that reveal the Incas’ deep understanding of astronomy and harmony with nature. In the traditional town of Pisac, you’ll stroll through its vibrant artisan market, filled with handwoven textiles, painted pottery, and silver jewelry crafted by local artisans.
We’ll continue to Urubamba, where a delicious buffet lunch awaits, featuring the best of Peruvian cuisine—ceviche, lomo saltado, quinoa dishes, and more—prepared with fresh ingredients from the Sacred Valley.
In the afternoon, we’ll explore the fortress of Ollantaytambo, one of the last living Inca towns and a masterpiece of stone engineering. Its cobblestone streets still follow the original Inca layout, and the Temple of the Sun continues to stand as a symbol of strength and spiritual devotion.
On our way back, we’ll visit Chinchero, a picturesque Andean village where ancestral weaving traditions are still alive. Here, you’ll witness how natural dyes are created from plants and minerals, preserving a heritage passed down through generations. You’ll also explore the colonial church of Chinchero, built upon ancient Inca foundations—a striking symbol of the fusion of two cultures.
As the light softens over the mountains, we return to Cusco around 6:30 p.m., carrying with us the essence of the Sacred Valley—its timeless history, its warm-hearted people, and the enduring spirit of the Andes.

Amazing Trek with Sergio!
We had such a fantastic experience with Sergio on the Salkantay trek! His deep respect for Pachamama really shone through and helped us to connect with the land we walked. He led us in guided meditation and offerings to Pachamama at different points along the trek, allowing us to slow down and fully absorb the energy around us. Thank you Sergio for an amazing experience, you made it truly unforgettable.

A wonderful trek with Sergio!
Sergio is a wonderful guide! We went on the 5 day/4 night Sallantay trek with him and it was an amazing experience. We were on a group tour and right away he made everyone feel welcomed and comfortable with one other, and it made the journey all the better to be hiking with our “trail family”. He shared Inca history with us and showed us some local customs as well—we particularly enjoyed the stories about the coca leaves as well as his deep respect for the Pachamama (Mother Earth). It was apparent from day one that Sergio’s main goal for the entire trek was to make sure everyone enjoyed the experience and he definitely delivered. He made sure to point out items of interest along the trail and had answers ready for questions anyone had, and even organized an impromptu soccer game at one of the rest areas! Machu Picchu is incredible on its own, but once we arrived it was soon clear that the experience was made even better by having Sergio guide us through the ruins and explain the history and architecture to us. We had some varying fitness levels in our group, but Sergio was able to make the whole group feel included for the entire trek. His style of guiding allowed everyone to hike at their own pace while still feeling like they were safe and part of the guided group through his in-depth knowledge of the trail system and strategic waiting/meet-up points on the trail. In addition to his guiding skills, Sergio is really just a cool guy and we immensely enjoyed chatting with him on the trails and hanging out with him at the campsites each night. I absolutely recommend Sergio as a guide to anyone visiting Cusco or the surrounding area—you will not regret it!

Salkantay Trek with Sergio
I did the Salkantay Trek with Sergio, and my group and I had an amazing time with him. He was great company, knew so much about the wildlife, the culture and the history, and was a very experienced and fun guide! The Salkantay trek was the highlight of my trip to Peru! I would always do it again with Sergio as guide - it was an unforgettable experience.

Amazing Backpacking Trip – Highly Recommend Sergi!
We did an overnight backpacking trip through the Salkantay Trail to Machu Picchu with our guide, Sergi, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. My boyfriend and I went with four of our best friends, and Sergi made the entire journey seamless, comfortable, and so enjoyable.He was incredibly knowledgeable about the trail, the history, and the area, which made the trek even more meaningful. One of our friends experienced altitude sickness during the hike, and Sergi was so thoughtful and attentive. He not only made sure they were safe but also arranged horses so they could continue the journey and not miss out. That level of care really stood out to us.Throughout the trip, Sergi was kind, patient, and always made sure we were comfortable. Everything was well organized, and we always felt supported. This trek was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide.I would highly recommend Sergi to anyone considering this trip—he truly went above and beyond to make it an incredible and memorable experience.
