Overview

The ability to explore ancient archaeological sites and hike through local countryside so close to Cusco is what makes this activity so charming. Because it's mostly downhill, this is a great practice hike for people who plan to hike longer more strenuous trails in the Sacred Valley.

Itinerary

  • Tambomachay

    20 minute drive to the tranquil terraced rocks of Tambomachay ruins (meaning guest house), with aqueducts, waterfalls and canals. It is said that the Inca emperor came here to bathe and perform religious rites in the water. Begin 7KM / 4.5MI hike stopping for a guided tour at Tambomachay, Qenco, Sacsayhuaman, and finally back to your hotel by 1300 to 1400 hours. Amazing views of Cusco. Very easy mostly downhill route can be done at your pace.

    40 minutes

  • Q'enqo

    After your tour of Tambomachay you continue walking through farms and rural countryside (mostly downhill) hike to Qenco temple ruins where sacrifices and mummification took place (with beautiful views of Cusco city) Guide conducts tour at each stop. (bring backpack with water, sunscreen, raingear, snacks, hats, cameras) The terrain is rough unmarked paths in some sections. There's no steep descents or scrambling over rock. It's considered an easy hike because it's mostly downhill, but people need to be able to walk for several hours and carry small backpack with everything they need for the day. Appropriate for older children and active senior citizens.

    1 hour

  • Sacsayhuaman

    The final stop on your hike back to Cusco is at Sacsayhuaman ruins. First built by the Killke culture beginning 1100 A.D. and expanded by the Inca. It’s considered the largest structure built and one of the most significant archaeological legacies of the Incas. Due to the complexity of the layout of the massive blocks of stone, some bigger than a car, it is said that the construction of Sacsayhuaman lasted more than 50 years and employed over 20,000 men in the construction. Return to hotel on foot where the tour concludes.

    1 hour 30 minutes

Adios Travel took a good trip and made it great

Published on Mar, 2024

Heather in Virginia and Vidal and his colleagues in Peru were terrific in making the most of this trip. I knew the rough outline of what I wanted, and typically plan trips myself, but couldn’t quite stick the landing on this one. Heather and I had an initial 2 hour chat where she learned what was important to us. After some tweaking over the course of a week, we had the perfect itinerary. She had tips for the DIY portion that I wanted to do, as she was aware of our efforts to keep to a budget. She offered all kinds of tips for getting around Peru safely - insect repellent, altitude issues, etc etc. And then Vidal! A wonderful addition to the trip, he was warm and professional, engaging with our teenage boys - we couldn’t have had a better experience. Adios Travel took our trip from good to great. Forever grateful

Adios Adventure feels like family

Published on Mar, 2024

We lucked out finding Adios Adventure Travel while booking a home exchange in Cusco. I can't imagine what we would have done without them! Vidal was our primary contact. He set up every detail for us to travel from Cusco to Ollantaytumbo with stops in Chinchera and Moray on the way. He set up tickets for buses and trains and tours from Ollantaytumbo to AguasCalientes to Manchu Picchu. Angela did our tour in Manchu Picchu and she was just as lovely and knowledgeable as Vidal. My children MISSED Vidal when we were in Manchu Picchu and kept asking when we'd see him again. He met us at the home exchange, cooked us breakfast, and took us to all the sites around Cusco. Angela and Vidal and Carlitos, our van driver, were ALWAYS kind, prompt, and knowledgeable. I about cried when we had to say goodbye. I will cherish our time and memories with him and hope that he comes to visit us in the US!

Classic 4 day Inca Trail Hike to Manchu Pichu

Published on Oct, 2022

With my adult daughters, went on Adios Adventures classic 4 day Inca Trail hike starting Sept 22, 2022. It was our first time in Peru. Adios Adventures professionally organized everything. Hike was led by our guide Manuel who took care of us and explained everything along the way. Hike is strenuous but amazing. Manchu Pichu is spectacular. We loved it. Would absolutely go on another trip with Adios Adventures.

Peru from Lima to Machu Picchu and back!

Published on Jul, 2022

We were guided from Cusco to Machu Picchu! Vidal was a fantastic guide and made it one of the best trips ever. From recommendations for restaurants as well as sites and places to see Adios Adventure is the way to go!

Highly Recommend - Amazing Tour Guide/Company

Published on Jun, 2022

Traveled to Peru for 15 days in late May, 2022. Covered Lima, Paracas, Huacachina, Arequipa, Colca Canyon, Puno, and Cusco (Sacred Valley, Inca Trail, Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mtn). What an amazing trip to Peru and Adios Adventure Travel was an incredible tour guide company to work with. Jacquie was great at working on a customized itinerary for my wife and I and very flexible with options on lodging, logistics, etc. Very responsive to all my questions. Provided excellent recommendations and expertise on the overall itinerary. The logistics for this trip were absolutely perfect. The in-country tour guides were all great. Vidal, however, stands out among them as his passion for his business and Peru was evident and we feel blessed to have been with Vidal for 5 days while in the Cusco area. His knowledge, expertise, and experience made our trip extra special and probably our best trip ever and we've traveled a lot. Can't say enough about Adios Adventure Travel and highly recommend them for your next trip to Peru and/or South America.
