Cusco has the highest bungee jump in Lantin America at 125 meters high. Meaning if you were going to do it anywhere whilst visiting, the sacred Valley should be the place. Not only this but there are also ‘slingshot’ experience that let you be catapulted.

 Some companies such as Action Valley that provide this are very well established with years of experience and jumps. It shouldn’t be hard to recognise these with a oodle search and a quick look on trip advisor.

Zipline

Zip wiring – Zip wiring in the sacred valley means you will fly past mountain views and herds of Alpach. Alot of treks such as our inca jungle trek encompass zip lining within the tour. However, there are plenty of companies which offer this as a singular experience. 

Our advice is to research your companies and look for reputable companies. Two which as rated highly are: Puma Path Zipline, with their longest line at 1km and is conveniently located close to Peru rail in Ollantaytambo : the other being Sma Zipline which is a sustainable tourism company and certified and kitted by Petzel.

Horse Riding

These experiences are undertaken separately. However follow the same schedules. They can either be undertaken as a whole day tour with travel for both Moray and Moras or a one off experience you can book at once of there places. 

You can travel to more remote sections of the valley, go through andean communities and the archaeological sites. All instruction and PPE is supplied by the company.

Rock Climbing

Rock climbing is prolific around Cusco and the Sacred Valley due to the mountainous environment. There are many companies who either run or include rock climbing, abseiling (rappelling) and ver friata into their trips. The tours are usually half days with instruction on techniques and equipment provided. Make sure you go with a reputable company and do your research on them.
