Itinerary

1. Miraflores
After pick-up, we begin our journey towards Marcahuasi, which takes approximately 3 to 4 hours as we leave metropolitan Lima behind. Along the way, you’ll witness the dramatic shift in landscapes as we ascend into the mountains and higher altitudes. That’s why we travel fully equipped and with all necessary safety measures in place—aboard our exclusive 4x4 vehicles designed for both comfort and adventure.
2. Chosica
After about an hour on the road, we’ll pass through Chosica — a town known as “The City of the Sun” due to its mostly sunny weather. Its bright skies are a stark contrast to the fog and gray clouds that often cover Lima, especially during the winter months. For this reason, many locals consider it the perfect escape from the cold and humidity of the city.
3. Santa Eulalia
Next, we’ll arrive at Santa Eulalia — another charming town in Lima, often considered the natural gateway to the Andes. From here, our ascent into the highlands truly begins. But first, we’ll make a short stop to enjoy a traditional local breakfast, just like a true local.
Duration: 20 mins
4. San Pedro de Casta
The small village of San Pedro de Casta serves as the gateway to begin our hike toward the Marcahuasi plateau. Before continuing our ascent, we’ll stop here to collect our entrance tickets and prepare for the final stretch leading to the plateau.
Duration: 15 mins
5. Marcahuasi
We’ll begin our hike across the stunning Marcahuasi plateau, where you’ll encounter impressive rock formations sculpted by wind and rain over centuries, ancient structures built by early inhabitants, and breathtaking landscapes unlike anywhere else.
Duration: 120 mins
