Day 1: Welcome to Cusco
You’ve made it! We’ll be waiting at the airport to take you to your hotel. Drop your bags, stretch your legs, and enjoy a free afternoon exploring Cusco’s charming streets and local flavors. Later, meet your guide at your hotel, for a trip briefing.
Day 2: Andes to Jungle – Quillabamba
Early start! We'll pick you up from the hotel at 5 am! We cross the Sacred Valley and reach the Yanamayo Pass at 4300m. From there, it’s all downhill (literally). Watch the landscape shift from mountains to jungle as we head to tropical Quillabamba.
Day 3: Jungle Ride & Hot Springs
After local coffee, we ride through lush jungle roads, passing fruit trees and coffee fields. We end the day soaking in the hot springs of Cocalmayo, pure bliss after the ride.
Day 4: Hydroelectric hike and Aguas Calientes
After breakfast in Santa Teresa, we’ll drive 45 minutes to the Hydroelectric Station and begin a scenic 2.5-hour hike to Aguas Calientes. The trail follows the railway, passing lush mountains, the Vilcanota River, and the Mandor Waterfalls. Upon arrival, we’ll have lunch and free time to relax or explore the town.
Day 5: Machu Picchu!
On most anticipated day, we’ll take the bus up to Machu Picchu at 7:00 AM. The ride offers stunning views of the Vilcanota River and surrounding mountains. At the entrance, we’ll register and begin our guided tour through the archaeological site, exploring its history and hidden corners.
After about two hours, we’ll return to Aguas Calientes by bus for lunch before boarding the train back to Cusco at 2:45 PM. A vehicle will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel.
Day 6: See You Soon!
