If you´re visiting Peru, of course, Machu Picchu, Cusco, and Sacred Valley are highlighted and I´m sure that will be part of your itinerary. A wonderful place to stay is Explora, a wonderful hotel located in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The hotel is perfect because it´s the gate to visit a wide variety of attractions in the area, including of course the unique Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, but it´s also perfect because it´s located at an altitude of 600 meters below Machu Picchu and more respect Cusco. It´s a very important point because the altitude is usually a problem.
Explora Valle Sagrado was designed as a headquarter from where to explore a remote and great destination: Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley of the Incas. All the programs include accommodations, transfers, meals and drinks, and a selection of more than 40 explorations developed by our outdoor team. Amazing isn´t it?
Explorations take travelers through the colonial history of Cusco and the architectural magnificence of the Incas in Machu Picchu, isolated villages, archaeological sites such as Ollantaytambo, Moray, Chinchero, and Pisac, to Andean pampas and mountains or Apus, considered by locals as guardians of people and nature.
Some of the areas we will be visiting in Valle Sagrado include Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo, Zapacto, Maras, Quimsacocha, Pisac, Cusco, Moray, and many others.
