• H3HM+J8F - Departing from Cusco, we head to the high-altitude Patabamba community. En route, we pass fields growing Quinoa, Kiwicha, and potatoes. Once there, locals greet us at a viewpoint over the Sacred Valley and offer traditional clothing. Next, we visit the Queswachaca bridge before a 3 hour hike to the Balcony of the Sacred Valley, an overlook 800 meters above the valley. On the return hike, we gather organic materials to learn the community’s ancient dyeing and weaving techniques, which utilize leaves and clay for vibrant, durable colors.

The day’s highlight is preparing Pachamanca, a unique Andean cooking method involving an underground earth oven. We actively participate in this ritual, then enjoy the mouth-watering results. Patabamba isn’t just a destination; it’s a cultural experience offering breathtaking views, rich crafts, and unique culinary traditions. It’s an authentic slice of Andean life that’s both enriching and unforgettable.
