Offering to Mother Earth and visit
Chinchero with Moray

Route: Cusco → Chinchero → Moray → Urubamba

Today we start our amazing journey from your starting point. We will explore the town of Chinchero, known as that hometown of rainbows. Located atop Andean windy plains, Chinchero shows awesome views of Sacred Valley and the snowy peaks that form horizon. Known for fine old-style textiles, this quaint town is a great spot to get special keepsakes or items shaped by native skills.

In Chinchero, we’ll have that special chance to connect with the local community – meeting village elders and warm-hearted inhabitants. Here, we’ll take part in a sacred Despacho ceremony or Offering to Mother Earth, an ancient Andean ritual of gratitude and connection to Pachamama (Mother Earth). We will invite blessings for our adventure, plus a moment of deep reconnection.

After a filling lunch in Chinchero, we continue to the charming Incan site of Moray, located 600 meters above Urubamba. This mysterious archaeological wonder has huge of circular terraces that descend in the shape of an amphitheater into the earth. Thought to be as an agricultural laboratory, these terraces made microclimates to grow diverse crops. Moray is even regarded as the womb of our Mother Earth – a special feminine energy center at which healers were initiated. Here, enclosed within the silence with wisdom of mountains, we will deepen our connection into the feminine sacred, opening ample space for healing both body physical and self emotional.

 Rainbow Mountain Tour 

Route: Cusco → Uros → Cusipata → Vinicunca → Cusipata → Cusco

We will pick you up from your Cusco hotel early in the morning, as we begin a private transportation adventure throughout the South Valley, heading on towards Vinicunca, the famous Rainbow Mountain (5,040m). Along the route, we’ll go through scenic views and classic towns, such as Urcos, Cattca, and Ocongate. These first few hours offer up a glimpse of the stunning Cordillera Vilcanota, with stunning views from the towering Ausangate mountain, the highest peak in the region.

As we get closer to Rainbow Mountain, be mindful of altitude. To help prepare, we recommend drinking an abundance of water as well as resting as needed. We suggest consulting your doctor prior to beginning such a high-altitude adventure.

When reaching Cusipata, we will stop to get a breakfast that fuels us for the trek ahead. After some breakfast, we proceed for only one more hour to a trailhead, where this adventure does begin. As you ascend, all energetic mineral-covered layers of Vinicunca Mountain unfold before you, with the majestic Ausangate Apu standing watch over the landscape.

For those who prefer to have a more relaxed adventure to the summit, there will be an opportunity to hire horses from within the local community to assist in the trek. Horse rentals are arranged directly with that community. Payment must be paid on-site in soles.

Once at the top, you’ll feel as if you’ve reached all heavens. Take time to try to explore, snap photos that are incredible, and immerse yourself in that beauty of all surroundings. Afterward, we will then retrace all our steps back again to the trailhead, stopping in Cusipata for lunch.
