Day Tours with a different twist 

See what authentic Peru has to offer and go beyond the ordinary

Highlights

These day tours are exclusive to Sacred Pathways, offering unique and exciting experiences that aren't usually advertised—often with richer history or a greater thrill to discover.

We avoid packing too much into a day to ensure it's enjoyable, focusing on key interests and educating on more topics for a well-rounded, in-depth experience.

Our tours are always small, with no more than eight people and as few as two, ensuring you receive undivided attention from your guide.

  • Sacred Energy of Inca Temples

    Qenqo, nestled between Sacsaywaman and the Temple of the Moon, served as a midpoint for Incan rituals dedicated to their ancestors and housed the mausoleum of the esteemed Incan leader, PACHACUTEC.
