Cusco is full of history and impressive monuments. On this city tour in Cusco we go step by step and get very close to the best of this wonderful city.
Day 1: Cusco Humantay Lagoon - Soraypampa Camp. Begin your adventure with pickup at 4:30 a.m., followed by a scenic 2-hour drive to the checkpoint to pay the Salkantay entrance fee. Then, continue to the restaurant. After a hearty breakfast, we'll travel for 1 hour to the start of the trek. Meet up with your team and begin your trek to Soraypampa (3,800 m) in approximately 3 hours. Enjoy a well-deserved lunch and then hike 2 hours to Humantay Lagoon (4,200 m) for breathtaking views. Continue another 2 hours to the cozy campsite in Soraypampa at 4,150 m, where you'll end the day with a delicious dinner under a starry sky.

Day 2: Soraypampa - Salkantay Pass - Colpapampa. Wake up with freshly brewed coffee or coca tea, then set off on a 2-hour hike to the highest point of the trek at 4,630 m (15,000 ft). Enjoy stunning views of the Salkantay Mountains before descending for 3 hours to Wayracmachay for a rewarding lunch. Continue for 3 hours descending through changing landscapes and climates, ending at Collpapampa Camp (2,770 m) next to a local village.

Day 3: Collpapampa - Lucmabamba - Cocalmayo Hot Springs. You'll wake up at 6 a.m. for tea and breakfast before leaving camp for La Playa, hiking through the Santa Teresa Valley. After lunch at camp, you can choose to visit the Cocalmayo hot springs for a relaxing soak or simply relax at camp. Later, enjoy tea, dinner, and a group campfire. At night, settle into your cozy campsite, lulled by the sounds of nature.

Day 4: Lucmabamba - Llactapata - Aguas Calientes. Hike to Llactapata. After a full breakfast, you'll be eager to begin your final day of hiking, which includes a section of the original Inca Trail. After a two-hour ascent, you'll reach Llactapata (2,700 m), an archaeological site overlooking Machu Picchu. You'll then descend for two hours, admiring the citadel before stopping for lunch at Hidroeléctrica. Finally, you'll arrive in Aguas Calientes, check into your hostel, and enjoy dinner at 7:00 PM while you prepare for the highlight of your trip.

Day 5: Explore Machu Picchu - Return to Cusco. The highlight of your trek awaits: Machu Picchu! After an early breakfast, take one of the first buses to watch the sunrise over this Wonder of the World. Enjoy a 2- to 3-hour guided tour to discover the secrets of Machu Picchu and, if you wish, climb Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain. Then, return to Aguas Calientes for lunch (not included), collect your belongings, and return to Hidroeléctrica to board your return trip to Cusco, arriving at 9:30 PM. Those who prefer the return train can coordinate their return time with us.
