    Community Tourism in Inkas Vivientes

    Community-based tourism in Living Inkas: living with the heritage of the Andes

    In the heights of the Sacred Valley lies Patacancha, known as the land of the Living Inkas. This community is the guardian of a millenary tradition that is reflected in every detail: its brightly coloured textiles, its agricultural and livestock practices, its knowledge of natural medicine, and above all, in the hospitality of its people.

    Here you will not be a visitor, but part of the community. You will have the opportunity to share in the daily life of the villagers, learn the art of ancestral weaving, participate in organic farming activities and discover the secrets of Inca medicine with sacred plants. In addition, you will be able to explore beautiful Andean landscapes such as the lakes of Challwaccocha, Pumamarka and Markaccocha, surrounded by history and nature.

    Living with the Living Inkas is a unique experience for those who are looking for more than just a trip: an immersion in Andean culture, in harmony with nature and with the legacy of the ancient Incas that is still alive today.

    Includes

    • Homestay accommodation within the community (experiential experience).
    • Full board with local products (breakfast, lunch and dinner).
    • Specialised local community guide.
    • Participation in textile activities: learning ancestral weaving techniques.
