 VILCABAMBA – MACHU PICCHU

"The process of this trek to Vilcabamba has been planned with a parallel purpose: to escape from the conventional routes where mass tourism often overshadows the authenticity of the moment. On this journey, we embark on a search for less beaten places, where nature and history are intertwined in their purest and most primitive state.

To achieve this unique experience, we venture on a bus ride that takes us away from the crowds for almost a day. This bus tour gives you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich biodiversity that characterizes this region.

Our goal is to lead travelers to corners where the very essence of nature and history comes to life, evoking the paths used by the locals.  I hope that those who join us on this journey will not see it simply as a trekking challenge, but as an opportunity to return to their countries with an authentic and vivid perception of our beloved country and its people. This is a journey that seeks to connect with the true essence of the destination, imbued with positive energies and an authentic desire to explore and understand the deeper nature of our destination.
