We have recently added this option to do something a little different and “off the beaten path” in the Ollantaytambo area, either as a full day or a half day activity. This excursion is primarily aimed at those with children, though that is not a requirement.

Cachiccata is the name (“Salty Slope”, in Quechua) of a small community just outside of Machu Picchu, in the same direction as Machu Picchu. It is a very rural setting and consists of a few dozen families who mostly work in either farming and/or tourism (many are the famous Inca Trail porters). But overall, life continues there the same way it has for a long time.
We have put together a family visit trip that will match your children with some children in the same age range (when possible) from this community.

There are several different options as far as what the itinerary would look like, and is intentionally flexible so that you the client may choose what most interests you. The Half Day trip would consist of a family visit just spending some time seeing how they live and vice versa, plus some time either kicking around a soccer ball or a short working session out in the crop fields or with their farm animals!
The Full Day option is the same as the Half Day, PLUS lunch with a local family is included, and also included is your choice of one of several activity options: Hiking, Biking, or a Horseback ride!
