Highlights
We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Cusco around 7:00 a.m. and drive for about 1 hour and 30 minutes to the community of Pachar, located in the Sacred Valley.
Upon arrival, your guide will provide safety instructions and a short practice session before we start the ATV ride.
Our off-road journey passes through scenic agricultural areas, mountain valleys, and local villages where you’ll see authentic Andean life.
After about 2.5 hours of riding, we’ll park the ATVs and begin a 30–40 minute hike to reach the majestic Perolniyoc Waterfall, where you’ll have time to relax and take photos.
We’ll then hike another 15–20 minutes to the archaeological site of Raqaypata, followed by the descent back to the ATVs.
On our return, we’ll stop at the Ñaupa Iglesia ceremonial site, a mystical Inca temple dedicated to the Moon, for a guided visit of about 45 minutes.
Afterward, we’ll continue to Pachar for a delicious community-prepared lunch made with local ingredients before returning to Cusco around 5:00 p.m.
