About this activity
Itinerary
1 - Cusco - Lares Hot Springs - Huacahuasi
Setting off from Cusco at 6 am, you'll weave through the mountain routes of the sacred valley towards Lares arriving in time for some lunch. After lunch you'll begin trekking from the 'Bano Termales' of Lares & following an old Inca trail along the Rio Huacahuasi.
2- Huacahuasi - Ipsaycocha - Patacchanta
On leaving Huacahuasi the route weaves through more local 'poblados', with glimpses of the Apu Pitusiray Nevada always in the background. Passing 4,800m the descent then weaves via Ipsaycocha lake, winding down the valley below heading towards Pataccancha. From here, it's onwards to Machu Picchu.
3 - Machu Picchu: Travel & Exploration
At the end of the trek, we finish near to a town called Ollantaytambo, at this point there are a couple of options.
Option 1 - Stay in Ollantaytambo and head to Aguas Calientes the following morning.
Option 2 - Head straight to Aguas Calientes directly after the trek. This option makes the last day of the trek a long one & the following day also, but both options are available.

You can also include hikes to Machu Picchu & Huayna Picchu mountain
