Lunch is provided here, our bus waits for us during this time and then we continue our journey for about 20 minutes to the beginning of the trail known as Pascana.

From here we start our trek to Quishuarani. Here we meet our rider and pack the horses. The hike will take us about 2:30 hours. When we arrive, our camp would have been set up for us. In the free time we have we can meet some of the local “campesinos” and see some weaving techniques. This is a lovely day full of great scenery and the opportunity to visit several Andean villages.

This morning we leave early, as this will be our longest day on the trek to Lares. We will hike approx. 7 hours today with lunch at noon. We begin our ascent to the highest point of the trek, the Pachacutec Pass (4,450m.). From the pass you will be rewarded with magnificent views of Lake Pachacutec and the snow-capped peaks of Pitusiray, Sawasiray and Chicon. Then, the trail continues downhill for approximately 2:30 hours to the village of Cancha Cancha, where we have our campsite waiting for us. Today you have the opportunity to see a lot of wildlife, fauna and flora.

After a delicious breakfast during the hike from Lares, we start our easy hike today. We will walk downhill for approx. 5 hours to the village of Huaran. From there we take local transportation to the village of Ollantaytambo, a beautiful well preserved Andean village. Depending on your train time, you will have time to explore before boarding the train to Aguas Calientes.

Nos levantamos temprano en la mañana alrededor de las 4 am. para desayunar y salir a Machu Picchu que toma 1:30 minutos caminando, pero hay otra opción de tomar el primer bus que sale a las 5:30 am. a Machu Picchu (toma 25 minutos) para apreciar la magnifica ciudad mientras sale el sol.

Su guía le dará un tour de 2 horas y luego podrá explorar la misteriosa ciudad por su cuenta. Si todavía tiene energía, también puede escalar el Huayna Picchu (2.720 m. / 8.890 pies.)
