What's included in Exclusive Full-Day 4x4 to Marcahuasi Hiking in Lima
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
MirafloresPass-by Only
After pick-up, we begin our journey towards Marcahuasi, which takes approximately 3 to 4 hours as we leave metropolitan Lima behind. Along the way, you’ll witness the dramatic shift in landscapes as we ascend into the mountains and higher altitudes. That’s why we travel fully equipped and with all necessary safety measures in place—aboard our exclusive 4x4 vehicles designed for both comfort and adventure.
ChosicaPass-by Only
After about an hour on the road, we’ll pass through Chosica — a town known as “The City of the Sun” due to its mostly sunny weather. Its bright skies are a stark contrast to the fog and gray clouds that often cover Lima, especially during the winter months. For this reason, many locals consider it the perfect escape from the cold and humidity of the city.
Next, we’ll arrive at Santa Eulalia — another charming town in Lima, often considered the natural gateway to the Andes. From here, our ascent into the highlands truly begins. But first, we’ll make a short stop to enjoy a traditional local breakfast, just like a true local.
