Day 1: Cusco – Santa Maria

The first day, we will pick you up from your hotels and drive through the Sacred Valley to the Malaga High Pass.

We will start hiking early in the morning through the jungle highland. On our hike, we will be able to observe beautiful landscapes, meet local people, and learn about native plants and animals. In the afternoon, we will arrive at Santa Teresa where we will camp for the night.

Day 3: Santa Teresa – Aguas Calientes

We will walk four to six hours to catch our train to Aguas Calientes. In Aguas Calientes, we will check into a hotel where you can take a hot shower and then we will get some dinner.
