Day 1:

Upon arrival, our team will welcome you at the Cusco airport, and from there, you'll be transferred to the Sacred Valley of the Incas. You will start by visiting Pisac, a charming little town famous for its artisanal market. 

Then, we will take you to a charming colonial hacienda and farm for your first gastronomic experience in Cusco. You will meet Maria del Pilar and Yussef, third-generation producers of giant white corn. Maria del Pilar and Joseph, third-generation giant white corn producers, will welcome you to their beautiful colonial hacienda. With them as guides, you will live a unique experience on a working farm. You will learn first-hand about the exclusive giant white corn of the Sacred Valley (the only one in the world with a protected designation of origin!), its production, and life at the hacienda. The hosts will also spoil you with a corn-based lunch based and other local ingredients.

Finally, you will arrive at your hotel for some well-deserved rest.

Afterward, you will rest for a few minutes and have a small snack to continue pedaling toward the famous salt wells that local communities have been using since pre-Columbian times.

Finally, the descent will begin to return to the Sacred Valley, where you will have lunch before starting the last section of the route to the Vilcanota River, following a fun route on a bicycle that will take you to the “Cerveceria del Valle”.
