Immerse yourself in history during a French-speaking guided tour of the historical center. You will explore the magnificent Inca temples overlooking the city as well as the legendary Qorikancha complex, before wandering through the cobbled streets lined with original Inca walls.

Departure to the village of Yuncaypata for an easy Andean downhill hike. You will cross typical rural landscapes before exploring the little-known ruins of Inkilltambo. The excursion ends with a convivial picnic surrounded by nature before returning to Cusco.

Begin your trek from Tambomachay with a panoramic 4.5-hour hike to the Queullacocha pass. You will reach the village of Patabamba to be welcomed by Rosalio and his family. There, you will taste an authentic Pachamanca, a traditional dish cooked underground, during your first night in a homestay.

After breakfast, you will hike facing the snow-capped peaks from the spectacular balcony of the Sacred Valley. You will cross the impressive León Punku canyon and then take a real section of the Inca Trail to reach the ruins of Huchuy Qosqo, before a warm night at Natividad's home.

The effort culminates with the ascent of the Tauca pass at 4,435 m, offering a majestic view of the mountain range. The descent leads you to the peaceful shores of the Piuray lagoon, down to the traditional village of Chinchero where you will settle for the night at Sonia's family home.

Set off to discover the ingenious Inca agricultural laboratory of Moray and then the dazzling Maras salt mines. After a beautiful downhill hike to the valley, you will explore the imposing strategic fortress of Ollantaytambo, an Inca village frozen in time.

Head to the edge of the Amazon! In Huayopata, you are welcomed by Julia and her family in the heart of lush vegetation. You will spend the afternoon in the plantations to discover the production process of Peruvian coffee, from harvesting to tasting your own cup, before sleeping on site.

The morning is dedicated to learning about traditional cacao farming in the family fields. At midday, you will reach Hidroelectrica for a fascinating 3.5-hour hike along the train tracks, in the heart of the tropical forest, to the village of Aguas Calientes.

The culmination of your adventure: a French-speaking guided tour of Machu Picchu (Circuit 2). You will explore the temples and agricultural terraces of this Wonder of the World in perfect harmony with nature. After the descent, a picturesque train ride takes you back to the Sacred Valley to the village of Pisac.

Explore the majestic Inca ruins of Pisac overlooking the valley, before a 2-hour panoramic hike down to the village. Take a moment to stroll through the colorful aisles of the Andean craft market and then hit the road back to Cusco.
