Amparaes Valley Tours
The Amparaes Valley is one of the most remote and unspoiled regions accessible from Cusco, offering travelers an authentic glimpse into traditional Andean life far from the tourist trail. Nestled deep in the eastern slopes of the Andes, this lush valley is home to small farming communities that have maintained their way of life for centuries.
Why Visit Amparaes Valley
Unlike the well-trodden paths to Machu Picchu, the Amparaes Valley provides a genuinely off-the-beaten-path experience. The valley is known for its dramatic landscapes, where snow-capped peaks give way to subtropical forests teeming with orchids, hummingbirds, and other wildlife.
What to Expect
Tours through the Amparaes Valley typically involve multi-day trekking with camping, passing through remote villages where you can interact with local Quechua-speaking communities. The trails offer stunning views of the Vilcanota mountain range and access to little-visited Inca archaeological sites.
