Adventure & Cultural Experiences in Urubamba

An Experience That Has It All

The Sacred Valley of the Incas is a destination where adrenaline, nature, and living culture come together in a single journey. Each path reveals breathtaking landscapes, villages rich in history, and the unmistakable essence of Andean life—transforming the way you experience travel.

From your boutique stay at Casa Eva, you can explore iconic archaeological sites such as Ollantaytambo, the ancient Inca fortress set along the Patakancha River and a key point along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Urubamba itself is a vibrant town, home to traditional markets, colonial churches, and authentic local life—all just minutes from your retreat.

This is not simply a trip; it is a cultural escape designed for those who seek adventure with purpose, embrace sustainable travel, and wish to experience the true essence of an Andean sanctuary.

Arrival & First Connection

Your journey begins upon arrival in Urubamba, the heart of the Sacred Valley. After settling into a boutique retreat that blends contemporary design with Andean tradition, spend the afternoon exploring the town center, visiting local markets, and enjoying an organic coffee as you gently acclimate to the altitude. The evening concludes with a welcome dinner, thoughtfully prepared with native ingredients and fresh regional produce.

Rafting & Mountain Biking

The second day is dedicated to adventure. Begin with an exhilarating rafting experience along the Urubamba River, navigating scenic rapids surrounded by lush landscapes—ideal for both beginners and thrill-seekers alike. In the afternoon, a mountain biking route along ancient Inca trails leads to breathtaking viewpoints, where the valley unfolds in all its grandeur.

Zipline & Cultural Trekking

Soar above the Sacred Valley on a zipline, offering a truly unforgettable perspective of the landscape. Later, embark on a trek to Moray and the Maras salt mines—an enriching journey that reveals ancient agricultural and salt-extraction techniques still in use today, a living testament to Andean ingenuity.

A Mindful Farewell

Before departing, take a moment for yourself with an outdoor yoga session or guided meditation—an ideal way to close your journey with balance and clarity. A nourishing breakfast featuring locally sourced ingredients provides the perfect final touch.

At Casa Eva, guests may also enjoy a variety of on-site experiences, including ATV rides, time by the pool, garden walks, spa treatments, horseback riding, and, of course, the richness of local gastronomy.
