At 6:30 am we depart from Cusco by private transportation and travel through the Sacred Valley to Lares, and spend the rest of the morning soaking in the natural hot springs of Lares. After lunch, we begin our Lares Valley Trek and hike to Wacawasi.
In Wacawasy, you can explore Inca agricultural techniques and purchase local handicrafts includes hand-woven ponchos and chullos, from some of the finest weavers in Peru. In the morning, resume the Lares Valley trek, ascending to highest point of the route at Puma’s Abra (1416 feet). After reaching the peak and enjoying the views, we descend one hour approximately, taking in the view of nearby lakes Aroray and Mantanay. Camp in Mantanay.
In the morning, descend from Mantanay to the village of Yanahuara and then finally to Ollantaytambo. Located in the heart of the Sacred Valley, Ollantaytambo is the only continually habited town since the time of the Incas. View the famous ruins of Ollantaytambo on the hillside, and then board the train to Aguas Calientes, the town at the foot of Machu Picchu. Spend the night in a comfortable hostel by the Urubamba River.
After an early breakfast, take the bus to Machu Picchu for a full day to explore these amazing Inca ruins. At the entrance, we will register and then start on our 2 hour guided tour of Machu Picchu. Take some time to explore the ruins of Machu Picchu on your own as well. After enjoying the ruins, we will take the bus down to Aguas Calientes, where you will have time for a late lunch before we return by train to Cusco.
