Fly over terraces and river canyons on a five-hour canopy circuit in the Sacred Valley. Safety-equipped platforms, four steel-core ziplines, and Quechua community context make this an accessible high-altitude aerial day trip.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the first platform with the wind nudging at your jacket and the Sacred Valley unfurling below—fields cut into steep slopes, the river slicing a silver thread far down, terraces stacked like steps to the sky. The Tibetan bridge creaks underfoot, daring you forward; beyond it, four steel-core cables promise progressively longer flights and broader views.
Difficulty
moderate
Duration
4–5 hours
Fitness Level
Suitable for most fitness levels but expect stair climbing to platforms and the exertion of short flights at altitude; basic mobility and balance helpful.
Wildlife
History
The Sacred Valley supplied the Inca empire with crops and was sculpted into terraces and roads that connected important sites; modern Quechua communities retain agricultural practices shaped by that legacy.
Conservation
Operators work in community land and ask visitors to stay on marked paths, avoid single-use plastics, and respect local customs to minimize impact.

Acclimatize before arrival
Spend at least a day in Cusco or Urubamba to reduce altitude effects; breathing is heavier at 2,800–3,000 m.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy hiking or trail shoes improve footing on platforms and the Tibetan bridge.
Bring a small water bottle
Hydration prevents headaches at altitude—operators may allow a lightweight bottle on you.
Confirm weight and health details
Operators request weight and medical info during booking to size harnesses and ensure safety.
Closed-toe hiking shoes
Provide secure footing on platforms and trails between stations.
Layered jacket
Wind and sun at elevation can mean rapid temperature changes during the day.
Reusable water bottle (small)
Staying hydrated helps with altitude adjustment and energy levels.
Sun hat and sunscreen
Sun is strong in the high Andes—protect exposed skin during waits on platforms.
