About this experience
Visit Pachar, located 8 kms. from Ollantaytambo, where you will find the Via Ferrata, a climbing route 300 meters high. Here you will have the opportunity to climb a mountain with a safety system permanently installed, for which you do not require any previous experience. While climbing, enjoy the mystical landscapes of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Upon completing the ascent, enjoy an energyzing snack while you admire the spectacular scenery and recover your energies. Then climb 100 more mts until you reach the second cable of the canopy or zip-line, which will allow you to fly over the beautiful landscapes of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, in a very safe and fun way. Through a pulley suspended by 6 cables of 100 to 500 m (with a total of 2000 m), located in an inclination, you hook the cable through a pulley fixed to your harness and you will be impulsed by gravity, sliding from the top to the bottom, increasingly losing speed as you approach the end of the cable.
