This tour takes you far off the beaten path to Kinsa Cocha, a hidden gem high above the Sacred Valley that few travelers ever see. Unlike more crowded destinations, this tranquil area offers peaceful, crowd-free hiking among pristine glacial lakes and dramatic Andean landscapes. You’ll walk alongside free-roaming alpacas, enjoy a scenic boxed lunch beside a remote lake, and explore authentic nature and culture without the crowds. The optional stop at the Pisac archaeological site adds a rich historical layer, blending Incan heritage with natural wonder—all in a single, unforgettable day.

    Begin your journey with hotel pickup in Cusco and a scenic drive through the Sacred Valley to the high-altitude lakes of Kinsa Cocha. Stop first at Azul Cocha, a peaceful blue lagoon, then enjoy a gentle one-hour hike to Pumacocha, often accompanied by friendly alpacas. From there, ascend to a mountain pass for sweeping Andean views before descending to the stunning Kinsa Cocha lake. Enjoy a relaxing boxed lunch by the water, surrounded by silence and natural beauty. On the return, you can optionally visit the Pisac archaeological site—an impressive Incan complex perched above the valley. This full-day tour blends breathtaking landscapes, gentle hiking, and cultural discovery. Return to Cusco around 6 PM with unforgettable memories of the Peruvian Andes. Includes transportation, guide, and lunch. Approx. 3–4 hours hiking (9 km) at high altitude. Suitable for active travelers.
