We will explore 4 important sacred archaeological sites built by Inca civilization that has been lasting for over 7 hundred years. This expedition will be on horseback riding, like what people did in the ancient time.
The horseback riding is safely equipped with experienced horsemen accompanying each passenger. Even kids over 9 years old could have fun & be safe in this activity. (Children under 9 years old or 120cm will need an adult’s company to ride on the same horse together)
The archaeological sites are including Temple of Thunder and Spring of Fertility, which is still very sacred places for local indigenous people. This is also a less physical-challenging way to adjust to the altitude in highland while running among the most places out of a day. *You could choose to take a car as an alternative option with an extra cost but you need to inform us in advance.
In the afternoon, after lunch hour, we will arrange a special discovery to the biggest local traditional market San Pedro, where you will have a very authentic taste of local cuisine in different stands, and be eye-opened by Shamanic tools that are sold in the market.

Sacred Valley is a place full of beautiful myths and landscapes. The valley is symmetrical like the Milky Way and the historical towns we are going to visit are reflecting with the Inca constellation on the land.
It’s also the most productive area of agriculture & granary for local people since ancient time, hence the Inca civilization has well developed here. Our professional guide will explain thoroughly at the most classic sacred places of Sacred Valley: Pisac (one of the biggest artificial terraces in the world. Represents the element of fire.)
Señor De Huanca (sacred church and mountain with many hidden stories of magical healing & pilgrimage and Ollantaytambo (where the oldest stones of Sun Temple located).
We will also stop by a weaving textile Awana Cancha to see how world-famous weaving textile in Peru is made from the beginning. You can feed animals such as alpacas, vicuñas, llamas. You will stay in the lovely historic town of Ollantaytambo for one night.
Inca Trail is the sacred path for Inca priests in ancient time to go on pilgrimage to sanctuary Machu Picchu. It is rated as the greatest trekking path combined with both natures in Andes highland & archaeology ruins.
We will trek with a professional guide from the trial 104 km to Sun Gate in Machu Picchu with 9km distance in total, which we can finish in a day. This is difficult to arrange as most seats sold out 6 months in advance but in our 7 days adventure, we will make sure this possible for you.
When you arrive at the bottom of the mountain Aguas Caliente town, you can choose to immerse into hot spring to relax your sore muscles after trekking. You will stay in Aguas Caliente for a night and ready for Machu Picchu visit the next morning.
