Via ferrata installed as a tourist attraction near the town of Ollantaytambo is a route of little difficulty level, although somewhat exposed, especially the Nepalese bridge. Climb about 300 meters of altitude at the foot of the Urubamba River, one of the natural accesses to Machu Picchu.
A via ferrata Peru is a mountain route that follows a vertical or horizontal progression itinerary and is equipped with different artificial elements such as staples, pegs, hanging bridges, chains or zip line Cusco, which help us progress and allow us to reach areas that are difficult to access. mountaineers not used to climbing. To carry out this activity safely, we must use specific technical material. Helmet, harness, anchor line and energy dissipator. This dissipator has specific carabiners, which are connected to a steel cable that is anchored along the entire route and that secures whoever walks it in the event of a fall.
This is an exciting and different experience, ideal for those seeking a dynamic way to explore high-altitude natural environments. The activities organized for this activity are always supervised by a professional mountain guide. This guide is responsible for ensuring safety at all times and explaining, step by step, the use of equipment, materials, and techniques necessary to advance safely and autonomously.
As with any physical activity in nature, it is important to have a basic physical condition that allows you to enjoy the route without difficulty. However, no prior experience in climbing or mountaineering is required, as the routes are designed to be accessible without demanding a high technical or physical level. Likewise, the via ferratas Sacred Valley selected for this activity are classified as moderately difficult and are designed for people who are new to this type of vertical challenge.
Safety and personalized accompaniment are a priority. Therefore, the limit of 4 people per guide is never exceeded. This ratio allows for constant attention, better group management, and a smoother experience. Therefore, this control in the number of participants improves the experience by reducing waiting times and facilitating individual assistance in each section of the route.
It is worth noting that most routes take place at a certain height above the ground. For this reason, it is not recommended for those who have significant difficulties with heights or suffer from vertigo.
Important: The via ferratas Peru run along walls equipped with steps, cables, and fixed anchors, which allows for safe progress even in vertical or exposed areas, but always requires calm and concentration.
We will find different scales that determine the complexity of this type of tours. We use what we believe is the most popular: the Hüsler scale. This measurement system establishes a series that goes from K1, the simplest level, to K6, the most extreme level. The value that determines the classification of each via ferrata is established by 5 factors: strength, resistance, equipment, type of terrain and psychological factor.
This experience will take you to climb the rocky walls of the Sacred Valley, an environment surrounded by beautiful Andean landscapes. The tour begins with the placement of the necessary safety equipment: helmets, harnesses, and lifeline, guaranteeing a safe journey from the first moment.
During the ascent, we will follow a steel cable anchored to the rock, climb metal ladders installed on the wall, and cross hanging bridges suspended at high altitude. This tour offers an adrenaline-filled adventure experience, in the midst of an unparalleled natural environment.
From the top, you get a panoramic view of the Andean crops, the Urubamba River, and the mountains that surround the valley, ideal for spectacular photographs. After enjoying lunch at the top, we will begin the descent to return to Urubamba, with an unforgettable experience etched in memory.
In this modality, we will climb an alternative route to the via ferrata Sacred Valley to reach its highest part. After satisfying our appetite with a delicious meal, we will descend the 7 zip line cables, ranging in length from 150 to 700 meters. We will experience a unique adrenaline rush!
We will climb the railway route of the Sacred Valley of the Incas and, after eating, you will be able to jump along the 3 zip line cables between 170 and 200 meters in length. A perfect option for the less daring!
This is the most complete option. We will climb the natural area and, after replenishing energy in the highest part of the Sacred Valley, we will discharge adrenaline by sliding down the 7 zip line cables that the area offers us.
Many are the routes that take you to Machu Picchu, but none is like the Inca Trail Tours, the most famous pedestrian path in the Americas. After flying from the capital of Perú, Lima, you will arrive in Cusco to walk for four days along a path through forests and dense fog, millenary stone steps and discovering the ruins of ancient fortifications and Inca cities, and all the time enjoying majestic views.
