Clip onto steel rungs and traverse a sheer Andean cliff face above the Sacred Valley — part rock climbing, part hiking, entirely exhilarating. The most dramatic adrenaline experience the Cusco region offers, with valley views that stop your breath.
What to expect
Gear up with harness, helmet, and via ferrata kit at the base of a granite escarpment overlooking the patchwork fields of the Sacred Valley. Your certified guide leads you across exposed ledges, up vertical iron-rung ladders, and along a dramatic Tibetan-style suspension bridge strung between two cliff faces. The final platform delivers a 360-degree panorama over Inca terraces and snow-capped peaks that no road can reach.
Good to know
No prior climbing experience required — the via ferrata is graded suitable for fit, adventure-minded adults. Minimum age typically 12; participants should be comfortable with heights. Located approx. 1.5 hours from Cusco; a half-day activity that fits a single port day. Closed-toe shoes with ankle support required; all other gear provided.
