One-hour volcanic stone and herbal Inca Thai massage in Cusco with warm stones, herbal compresses, and oils. Private spa reset for $84.
“This is an excellent true spa massage with great therapists some of the places around the plaza come out on the street to recruit you. This place is attached to a nice hotel and gives genuine massages. If you want funny business go somewhere else.”

A 1-hour Polaris off-road ride through Huacachina dunes with hotel pickup from Huacachina or Ica, safety briefing, and sandboarding time.

4-hour Cusco mix of Sacsayhuaman ruins, Qenqo’s huaca and royal mummies, plus a 1-hour horseback ride with pickup.
Pick a kind of day, and see the best of it.
