ITINERARY

Cusco – Abra De Malaga – Santa Maria.

Our adventure begins with the pick-up from your hotel in Cusco, approximately at 7:00 a.m. We will head towards Abra De Malaga (4320 meters above sea level) in our transportation. At this location, we will prepare our equipment and start our cycling activity after receiving a briefing from the guide. We will have fun riding our bikes, descending through diverse landscapes, from snow-covered mountains like Nevado de la Verónica (5316 meters above sea level) to the semi-tropical jungle covered in lush vegetation and vibrant colors. The duration of our ride will be approximately 2 hours. We will then arrive at the town of Santa Maria, where we will enjoy our lunch. In the afternoon, we will have the option to engage in another recommended activity, rafting. Our first day will conclude with dinner and overnight stay.

Santa Maria – Santa Teresa (Inca Trail).

After a good breakfast, our approximately 7-hour hike will begin. Under the morning sky, amidst ascents and descents, the most exciting part of this day will be crossing a perfectly preserved section of the Inca Trail. It’s an experience in the middle of the high jungle, surrounded by plantations such as coca, fruit trees, rivers, and exotic animals native to the region, undoubtedly an unforgettable experience. Additionally, this day will offer us the opportunity to enjoy the Cocalmayo hot springs, a relaxing moment after our hike. Finally, we will arrive at the town of Santa Teresa (1650 meters above sea level), where we will spend the night.

Santa Teresa – Aguas Calientes.

After breakfast, the journey to Machu Picchu will be filled with nature, adventure, and adrenaline. The convenient feature of this day is the pleasant weather, ranging between 25 and 30°C. On this day, we will have the opportunity to optionally engage in the activity of Zip lining, which lasts approximately 2 hours. Then, we will arrive at the Hidroeléctrica station, from where we will continue walking alongside the train tracks until we reach the town of Aguas Calientes. Along the way, we will have our lunch, contemplating the majestic mountains that are part of the Andes. We will conclude the walk in the town of Aguas Calientes, where we will spend the third night.
