About this activity
Day 1 :At 5:00 am our guide picks you up from your hotels and we drive through the

Sacred Valley turning at the town of

Calca to head to

Lares village – the drive takes around 3 hours. Once we arrive in town we go up to the Hot Springs where we can relax and enjoy these beautiful outdoor hot waters. Lunch is provided here. Our bus waits for us during this time and we then continue our journey for around 20 minutes to the start of the trail known as

Pascana.

Day 2: After a delicious breakfast we leave

Huacawasi. This is going to be our longest day on the trail as we continue north east up the valley, passing small thatched stone houses. After ½ hour the path flattens out before climbing steeply for the 2½ hour trek to the highest passage, called

Auroray Pass (4758m). From here you are rewarded with superb views of

Auroray Lake and the snowy peaks of

Pitusiray.

Day 3: After a delicious breakfast we start our easier hike of the day following the small River. It's a 4 hour trek to our destination, the small village named

Yanahuara. From here we take a local transport to the town of

Ollantaytambo, a beautifully well preserved Andean town you have some time to explore before boarding on the 3:00 pm train to

Aguas Calientes. We spend the night in a nice hotel in

Machu Picchu Pueblo.

Optional: you can give an early night visit to the Aguas Calientes' Hot Springs where the entrance fee is US $4.

Day 4 : 

We have breakfast and then take the 6:00 am bus up to Machu Picchu to enjoy the beautiful sunrise. A walking tour of approximately 2 hours is then given by your tour guide, after which you can explore the mysterious city all by yourselves.

If you got your Waynapicchu entrance ticket (entry limited to 400 people daily for an additional cost of US $ 15.00 so you should better get it when you book your tour) you can also climb the neighbour mountain Huayna Picchu (2720m/8890ft). Keep in mind that it takes about 45 minutes to reach the top so you might seriously reduce your time on the prestigious site.

Once you are filled with those mystical vibes, we take the bus back to Aguas Calientes to get on the Expedition train back to Ollantaytambo followed by a bus to Cusco. We are in Cusco at around 10:30 pm.
