Day 1

Cusco – Santa María : Biking 55Km and Santa Teresa

Pachacutec Expeditions will start the Inca Jungle Tour by picking you up from your hotel in Cusco at 6.30 a.m.  We will drive you to Abra de Malaga, (4,350mtrs), the highest pass in the Vilcanota Range. From here, we will bicycle downhill until we reach the small town of Santa Maria, (1,430 mtrs). Along our journey we will pass picturesque rolling hills and the snow-capped peaks of the Vilcanota Mountain Range. We will have opportunities to take some pictures along the way as well , as it is going to take around 3 or 4 hours of downhill riding. While taking in the majestic views, the ride is wonderful and relaxing at the same time. When we finally arrive, we will have some free time to rest, then we will take the bus to Santa Teresa. After a day of biking, we can relax in the hot springs.

Day 2

Santa Teresa – Aguas Calientes : trekking 16Km

We will begin our hike to the small town of Aguas Calientes. We will walk for 3 hours in the Aobamba Valley until we reach the Intihuatana sector, where we pass a government control post and continue the hike. Lunch will be included along the path and we will have the opportunity to see a series of waterfalls and admire the majesty of the mountains surrounding Machupicchu and Haynapicchu. Here you will also have the opportunity to see an astronomical sundial used by the Incans, as well as other constructions of the Incan citadel of Machupicchu. After 3 hours of walking, we will arrive in Aguas Calientes alongside the train tracks that lead to the small town.

Day 3

It will take approximately an hour and 45 minutes to reach the top. When we first arrive, our guide will take us on a 2 or 3 hour walking tour of the  Machu Picchu Inca site, enriching us with the Inca’s history. The guide will be very knowledgable and the tour very informative. then you will have  free time to explore the ruins on your own. If you want to climb Huayna Picchu, it is recommended to book in advance, at least two months before you come, since tickets are limited.
