We depart from Cusco at 9:00am to the Incan Sacred Valley. At Pachar Bridge, we will start rafting down the Urubamba River, a journey of approximately two hours. This river has standard class II and III rapids, which are just enough to enjoy some action and adventure. After lunch by the river, we will visit the town of Ollantaytambo and spend the night in a hostel. The rest of the afternoon you will be free to visit the local archaeological zone.

After a good breakfast, you will take the bus to the mountain pass known as Malaga (alpha Mayo), to begin the four hour bike descent to Santa Maria. We will spend the night in a family hostel.

The next day, we will walk through beautiful scenery and visit a family house along the way. After a five hour walk, we will have arrived at a nice place for lunch. We’ll rest and continue the last two hours, arriving at the Cocalmayo hot spring. Again we will relax, and then take a small vehicle to Santa Teresa where we spend the night in a family hostel.

Today we will walk to Aguas Calientes, the last town before Machupicchu, all the while, appreciating the mountains, flora, and fauna along the way. When we reach the small village with the hydroelectric plant, we’ll have lunch before continuing down the railway to Aguas Calientes. where we will have dinner and stay in a hostel for the night.

Very early in the morning, we’ll hike up to the Machupicchu Historical Sanctuary where we have our two-hour guided tour, followed by free time to explore the ruins on your own. In the afternoon, we’ll take the train back to Ollantaytambo and finally return to Cusco by bus.
