Pack a little day bag for your adventure today. You will be picked up in the morning for a full day tour of the Sacred Valley – you can opt for either the bus tour or the bike tour. We will take you to the little village of Chinchero, the center of weaving in Peru. Local women put on a weaving demonstration and show how they produce different colors for the wool they spin and weave. It is possible to see how the wool is washed, dyed and spun. You can watch them spin and create alpaca jumpers right in front of you. The ladies dress in traditional costume, and are happy to display how the weaving works. They are super friendly and will afterwards sit and drink mate de coca with you.
After this colorful start to the day, it is time to choose – bus or mountain bike – and head off down the Sacred Valley to the spectacular salt mines of Maras and the intriguing Incan site of Moray. We will end the day in the town of Ollantaytambo at the Hotel El Albergue, a boutique hotel with its own organic farm and coffee processing plant.

Islas Palomino, the seal island
Today we get transported from the thriving metropolis of Lima… to the wildlife sanctuary of the Palomino Islands. We get picked up from our hotel and taken by private transport to the Port of Callao, where we board a private yacht and sail off into the Pacific, sunbathing on the deck while enjoying panoramic views of Lima, and witnessing the diversity of birds flying by. Soon we reach the Palomino Islands, home to a colony of 7,000 sea lions, barking eagerly as our boat comes into view. Here it is that you will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to don a wetsuit and jump into to ocean and swim right up to the rocks, where the sea lions will greet you and perform tricks, as curious about their visitor as you are of them. Guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience!
