An award-winning via ferrata and zip-line experience in Peru’s Sacred Valley offers a thrilling way to encounter the Andes from a completely new perspective.
The ascent follows a purpose-built vertical route through dramatic ravines, using metal ladders and suspension bridges rather than free climbing. From an extraordinary vantage point—400 metres above the valley floor—the sweeping Andean landscape unfolds in spectacular fashion. The experience culminates with an exhilarating descent via a series of seven zip-lines, each stretching between 250 and 700 metres, soaring across the vast scenery below. Carefully designed infrastructure and professional operational support ensure the experience is accessible to first-time adventurers while remaining equally rewarding for those with prior experience.Tours Featuring This Experience
