Cultural Experiences travel guide

Your adventure begins before the first step: what to pack, the weather, how to get there and answers to the most frequent questions.

Andean culture beyond the ruins

Quechua culture is alive in the villages around Cusco. Our cultural experiences are designed together with local communities, so every visit benefits the families that share their traditions with you.

Experiences you can live

  • Pachamama ceremony: a traditional offering to Mother Earth led by an Andean priest (paqo), at the shores of Piuray Lagoon.
  • Route of the Sun: a scenic journey between Cusco and Puno with stops at colonial churches and archaeological sites.
  • Weaving and textiles: natural dyeing and back-strap loom techniques in Chinchero and other communities.

Responsible travel

Ask before taking photos of people, buy handicrafts directly from the artisans and respect the sacred places. These small gestures make a big difference.
