Peru: 4K Scenic Walk through Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley

Mist rises off the deep green curves of the Sacred Valley, moving slowly toward the high, jagged peaks of the Andes. This footage follows the quiet flow of the Río Urubamba and the wide, stillness of Lake Titicaca, set to a steady, low-tempo soundtrack. From the weathered stone walls of Cusco to the shadowed depths of Colca Canyon, the focus remains on the vast scale of the landscape and the simple rhythm of life in the highlands. It is a slow look at the textures of Peru, stripped back to just the wind and the mountains.

Featured places: Machu Picchu, Río Urubamba, Salcantay, Nevado Salkantay, Sacred Valley of the Incas

The footage for these films typically combines shots I've taken myself with carefully selected and specifically licensed clips for this film.
