Adventure: Vilcabamba to Machu Picchu & Jungle

From Vilcabamba to Machu Picchu, then onwards to the Manu Reserve for an Amazon jungle expedition. This exciting two-week itinerary takes you from the high-altitude trek of Vilcabamba; through to the lower lands of the Amazon jungle for an exploratory expedition of the Manu Reserve.

The Cordillera Vilcabamba is a mountain range; which houses a range of both historical and natural attractions of great importance to the development of Andean civilisation. We have to consider that this cordillera served as a refuge to the last rebel Inkas fleeing the invasion; led by Manqo Inka II for about forty years. Geography, flora, fauna and a rich history take us on an adventure through a remote region of the southern Andes; which motivates us to arrive at the legendary Machu Picchu.

Manu Reserve National Park: This trip is designed for the adventurous whilst also allowing you to see the best of the reserve wildlife.

Manu is divided into three zones:

“Intangible zone” is only accessible to scientists and researchers
“Reserved zone” is only accessible to a limited number of tour operators and their tours
“Cultural zone” is more accessible and where local Amazonian peoples live in small communities.

The cultural zone is home to several native communities of Yine and Matsiguenka people who have initiated tourism projects. When visiting the park; chances to see wildlife are highest in the reserved tourism zone but wildlife experiences are also available in the cultural zone. This zone is the only place where you will be able to visit native communities; many of which still follow their traditional ways of life, such as hunter-gatherer traditions.

 Verified Circuito Torres del Paine 'O'
Reservé la caminata del Circuito 'O' de 8 días en Torres del Paine a través de Unu Raymi y completé la caminata a fines de diciembre de 2023. El proceso de reserva antes de la caminata fue bastante sencillo y James pudo responder las diversas preguntas que tenía. La caminata en sí fue fantástica y tuve un excelente equipo con Francisco (como mi guía) y Teo (como cocinero/portero) en el camino. Francisco obviamente conocía bien el sendero, y además tenía muy buen conocimiento sobre las plantas que vimos y fue capaz de señalar los nombres de las distintas montañas a lo largo de la caminata, además de ser muy bueno para observar a los cóndores en lo alto durante varios días. . Teo hizo un excelente trabajo con las comidas durante la caminata. Pudo satisfacer mi solicitud de comida vegana y me sorprendió la variedad de diferentes comidas que pudo preparar, incluidas verduras frescas en distintos momentos, y cada comida estaba deliciosa. En general, ¡fue una experiencia fantástica!

 Verified Una inolvidable aventura peruana con Unu Raymi Expeditions
Nuestro viaje a Perú con Unu Raymi Expeditions fue absolutamente increíble. Todo estuvo muy bien, organizado por el equipo. Perú nos sorprendió con sus impresionantes y diversos paisajes, y vimos mucho más de lo que esperábamos. Hay demasiadas excursiones que merecen una mención especial, pero lo más destacado fue pasar la Navidad con una familia local en Amantaní, en el lago Titicaca. Fue una experiencia única y conmovedora que siempre recordaremos. Machu Pichu, la Montaña Arcoíris, el Lago Humantay, etc., fueron todos sueños hechos realidad, sin embargo, el equipo de Unu Raymi demostró que ¡hay mucho más para ver en Perú! Cada día fue una aventura. Cada día, un guía turístico local nos recogía y nos mostraba los alrededores. Todos fueron increíbles y aprendimos mucho de ellos y sobre el país y su rica cultura. Mención especial merece Herbert, nuestro guía de Machu Picchu. Su experiencia y pasión por el sitio hicieron que nuestra visita fuera aún más agradable. Entre bastidores la coordinación fue perfecta. Muchas gracias a James y Edwin por planificar y organizar todo. Realmente hicieron todo lo posible, ¡especialmente considerando mis problemas de salud antes del viaje y el hecho de que estábamos en nuestra luna de miel! Se aseguraron de que pudiéramos ver y hacer todo lo que queríamos, y más. Todo el equipo de Unu Raymi Expeditions se aseguró de que todo transcurriera sin problemas, de principio a fin. Siempre llegaron a tiempo y se aseguraron de que no nos perdiéramos nada. Si te gustan las aventuras llenas de energía y acción, te recomendamos encarecidamente Unu Raymi Expeditions. Hicieron de nuestro viaje a Perú el viaje de nuestras vidas y elegiremos sus servicios cuando vayamos a ver el resto de Sudamérica en los próximos años.

 Verified El mejor lugar para despejar tu mente.
Como siempre hay algunas opciones a dónde ir y qué hacer. Después de un breve momento de pensar, tomé una decisión y, con la bendición de mi cónyuge, reservé el Trekking Tour Ausangate. Me encantó. ¿Qué es lo que no me encanta de esto? Los picos de las montañas, los lagos y las cascadas, la flora y fauna inusuales… Es difícil, te lo aseguro, combatir el mal de altura, pero es manejable y con los cuidados adecuados pasa pronto. Cada paso y ángulo es diferente y todo el lugar es pura magia. He conocido a varias personas buenas en mi camino. El organizador Lider y mi guía Javier están por siempre en mi corazón. Gracias, gracias y una vez más gracias.

 Verified El viaje de tu vida a los Picos del Ausangate
Esta gira fue una de las mejores aventuras que tuve en mi vida. Los guías Eduardo y Herman son amables, conocedores y siempre me estaban controlando desde que estábamos a más de 16 000 de altitud. Conocen muy bien el terreno y me están dando lecciones de historia y geografía en el camino. Compartimos muchas risas e historias juntos. Nuestro cocinero de montaña, Jaime, preparó deliciosas comidas para el desayuno, el almuerzo y la cena y siempre me ofrecía una bebida caliente. ¡Pedro nuestro jinete siempre tenía mi carpa lista en el próximo campamento! Los sitios en Ausangate y sus alrededores son impresionantes. Hay muchos menos excursionistas en este sendero que en los otros, por lo que si busca paz y tranquilidad, este es el recorrido que debe realizar. Tuvimos que empezar muy temprano algunos días y el. La recompensa fue ver el cielo carmesí y el amanecer. En general, esta fue una caminata emocionante, una que puso a prueba mis límites, me dejó humilde y me ayudó a definir quién soy. ¡Lo recomiendo totalmente a cualquier buscador de aventuras!

 Verified Perú Aventura con Unu Raymi
Unu Raymi tours me ayudó a organizar unas vacaciones de tres semanas en Perú. Esto me permitió visitar muchos de los sitios más importantes del país pero con flexibilidad para agregar algunos lugares adicionales a mi itinerario. La planificación fue excelente en el sentido de que todos los tours, traslados y arreglos de hotel fueron muy sencillos y los diversos contactos fueron muy útiles, considerados y profesionales. Aunque moverse por Perú y ver todos los sitios fabulosos hizo que las vacaciones fueran rápidas, con muchos viajes, valió la pena, ya que hay mucho que ver. Los estándares del hotel, la comida y el tour parecían tener una muy buena relación calidad-precio dentro del presupuesto, y recibí mucha orientación adicional para planificar mis propios aspectos del viaje y apoyo cuando surgió un problema médico inesperado. El sitio web tiene información y orientación interesantes que me ayudaron a planificar en consecuencia; creo que esto podría desarrollarse, aunque James fue muy útil para ayudarme a planificar las vacaciones, incluidas las consideraciones de viaje y empaque. En general, fueron unas pocas semanas memorables para mí.

¡Pasamos un tiempo increíble en Perú! Reservamos el tour especial para mochileros de 18 días por el sur de Perú, y todo el viaje, desde el alojamiento hasta el transporte, estuvo increíblemente bien organizado. Todos los lugares que visitamos eran hermosos, tenían buena comida y los guías turísticos fueron muy amables e informativos. La caminata de Ausangate también estuvo bien planificada, y los jinetes y el cocinero marcaron una gran diferencia. James y Edwin también se comunicarían con nosotros regularmente y nos mantendrían actualizados sobre el itinerario. ¡Definitivamente una increíble experiencia única en la vida!

Acabo de terminar el W trek de invierno reservado con unu raymi. Toda la experiencia fue maravillosa: un paisaje increíble dirigido por el mejor guía, Andrés y el portero, Víctor. Fueron fundamentales para que el viaje fuera una experiencia única en la vida verdaderamente especial. Desde conocer todos los mejores lugares y sugerencias para brindarnos la mejor ruta de senderismo, hasta cocinar deliciosas comidas y asegurarse de que estuviéramos bien alimentados y atendidos en todo momento, Andrés hizo todo lo posible para brindarnos una experiencia especial. No podría haber pedido un viaje mejor y más memorable. Recomiendo encarecidamente esta excursión y muchas gracias a Andrés. : )

Itinerary

Arrival & landing day into Lima, an evening to relax and prepare for your Peru adventure that lays ahead!

Overnight Lima - Ramada Wyndham Costa del Sol

Head to the Lima airport for your transfer flight to Cusco. After settling in, head out for your day tour of the former capital of the Inca empire, which reigned from the 13th to 16th centuries after conquering the Killke settlement on the same location. Remember: you will be at 11,000 feet (c. 3,400 m) above sea level, so take it easy and remember to drink lots of water. Take a walk through the plaza — if the weather is beautiful, it's a perfect place to sit and have a cup of coca tea while adjusting to the elevation. In the evening, take the opportunity to experience Cusco's celebrated culinary heritage at a local restaurant.

Overnight: Cusco
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch

Today you are free to explore Cusco and the surrounding ancient ruins. Since Cusco was designed by the Incas as a city for walking, start your exploration of the narrow stone alleyways on foot. Suggested activities include: Visit the Coricancha, also known as "The Temple of the Sun." The temple was built by the Incan Emperor Pachacutec (1438 - 1572), and after the arrival of the Spaniards became the basis for the construction of the Santo Domingo Convent. See the Cathedral, the most imposing monument in the central Plaza de Armas and a repository for Cusco's colonial art. Its construction lasted for almost 100 years, beginning in 1560 and ending in 1654. Walk to Sacsayhuamán and next-door Quenqo, both archaeological complexes used mostly for religious and agricultural rituals, located 2.5 miles (4 km) from the city of Cusco. Built by the Killke people, Sacsayhuamán is a marvel of ancient architecture, a monolithic fortress built from giant blocks of stone, the origins and assembly of which remain a mystery. Discover the elaborate Puca Pucara ruins—an architectural complex of alleged military use with multiple plazas, baths, aqueducts, walls, and towers. It is believed that the entourage of the Incan emperor used it while he stayed at Tambomachay, the elaborate estate and baths nearby. Explore San Blas, an old bohemian quarter famous for its picturesque white walls, blue doors, and creative artisan community. Experience the legendary Mercado Central de San Pedro, a large and diverse market famous for its mouth-watering juices, home-style meals, medicinal herb stalls, and rows of various meats, loaves of bread, vegetables, and other necessities. Eat lunch at a local Peruvian restaurant and sample local flavors and cooking techniques—crackling pork, pickled vegetables, seasonal flavors, bread baked in earthen ovens, roasted vegetables, and sweet donuts make for a delicious and filling meal.

Overnight: Cusco
Meals included: Breakfast

You'll leave very early in the morning, taking the road to the Sacred Valley of the Inkas. Passing the town of Ollantaytambo, you'll head towards the Abra Málaga (mountain pass) which you cross, and then descend through the Puna towards the high jungle.

Explore: Ollantaytambo Ruins & Yucay Day Hike After an early breakfast, you can leave your hotel and walk around the Inca Fortress and ceremonial site of Ollantaytambo, marveling at these extraordinarily well-preserved ruins. Set around a tranquil plaza, renowned for its peaceful charm. The little-altered layout of the town offers an unprecedented peek into the way of life of its past peoples, the Incas.
