Description

Itinerary Day 1: Cusco - Hydroelectric - Machu Picchu Pueblo We will begin this incredible trip with pick-up at your hotels between 6:00 and 6:30 am and we will head by minibus to Ollantaytambo through the fascinating landscapes of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. We will stop for breakfast (not included) to recharge our batteries before starting the Abra Málaga route. We will ascend to a height of 4316 meters above sea level, from where we will have one of the best views of Peruvian geography. Then, we will begin the descent through the jungle until we reach Santa María, 1250 meters above sea level. Then we will make a brief stop to regain energy, we will arrive at Santa Teresa, anteroom of the Hydroelectric Power Plant, where we will get off the minibus to recharge our batteries at a local restaurant around 1:30 p.m. With our appetite satisfied, we will begin a walk of approximately 3 hours to the town of Machu Picchu. In this town we will have dinner and spend the night in a local hostel. Day 2: Machu Picchu - Cusco The second day we will have to get up very early, but we assure you that it will be worth it. We will have breakfast at the hotel and at 5:00 a.m. We will begin the ascent to the citadel of Machu Picchu on foot. After an hour and a half of walking, we will enjoy an unforgettable sunrise, where we can take incredible photographs. Upon arrival, we will take a two-hour guided tour of the spectacular lost city of the Incas.
