A pleasant walk downhill and back into town delivers us to a late lunch and an afternoon at leisure before we reconvene that evening for a pre-dinner mat session.

At midday we'll regroup high above the valley for exclusive access to the isolated community of Viacha. Together we'll learn about their age-old artisanal potato farming practices before sharing in a Pachamama ceremony (a sacred Andean ritual used by the local people to offer thanks to Mother Earth) and a traditional Pachamanca lunch featuring delicious meats and vegetables cooked in under hot stones.
After lunch, our group will visit the archaeological complex at Pisaq where we'll enjoy a guided meditation in addition to exploring the Incan complex free of the morning crowds.

Start the day with an early morning yoga session in the garden before breakfast.

The sense of awe that overtakes you here will be the perfect introduction to our next stop... Machu Picchu!
A late morning scenic train ride along the famous Urubamba River will deliver us to Aguas Calientes, the town below Machu Picchu, by the early afternoon. A short, rollicking bus ride uphill from the train depot will deposit us at the gates of the “Sanctuary” (as locals refer to it), where we'll enjoy our first views of the world-famous Incan ruins. Prepare to be awed by the imposing and skillful architecture of the Watchtower, the Temple of the Sun, and the royal Inca residences, among many others. You might even take a moment to quietly sit and listen to the wind…or to meditate and absorb the mystical energy that envelops you. Your imagination will soar as you contemplate the history of Machu Picchu and its mysterious origins. And thankfully our late arrival ensures we have the best chance to enjoy a quiet window away from the crowds, as most visitors arrive into the complex in the early morning and begin to leave by lunchtime.
