About this experience
Day 1: Cusco to Quillabamba
Hotel pick-up at 7:45 AM for a scenic 4.5-hour drive through the Sacred Valley, crossing Málaga Pass (4,316 m) before descending into lush Quillabamba.
After lunch, we'll visit a local cacao farm guided by the farming family. Taste seasonal fruits, learn about tropical plants, and follow the cacao process from harvest to roasting — finishing with your own cup of traditional hot chocolate. Overnight in Quillabamba (dinner not included).
Day 2: Quillabamba to Cusco (or Hydroelectric train station)
After breakfast on your own, depart around 9:00 AM and retrace the Andean route, arriving back in Cusco by early afternoon with hotel transfer included.
A hands-on farm-to-cup journey into Peru's cacao region — ideal for travelers seeking real connection with the families who grow this treasured crop.
