Biking, hiking and Yoga – Sacred Valley – Machu Picchu- Peru

The breathtaking Sacred Valley will serve as home during this unique escape. The Sacred Valley is a region in Peru’s Andean highlands, that along with the nearby town of Cusco and the ancient city of Machu Picchu, form the heart of the Inca Empire. The Sacred Valley is home to charming colonial towns, isolated weaving villages, markets and significant ancient Inca archaeological sites such as Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero. The Sacred Valley serves as a unique entry point into exploring the Andean and Inca traditions, providing a beautiful backdrop to an in-depth understanding of the history of this remarkable region and its people.

For most, a visit to the UNESCO protected Inca city of Machu Picchu is a long-anticipated life-long dream trip, and it is sure to not disappoint. Embedded within a dramatic landscape at the meeting point between the Peruvian Andes and the Amazon Basin, the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu is among the greatest artistic and architectural achievements anywhere and the most significant tangible legacy of the Inca civilization.

Comprised of approximately 200 structures, this outstanding religious, ceremonial, astronomical and agricultural center still remains a bit of a mystery.

The 7 night program is a combination of LOTS of physical activity – biking & hiking & yoga combined with natural, cultural, historical & culinary discoveries.
