Day 1 Arrival - Cusco. City Tour.
Assistance on arrival in Cusco and transfer to your
selected hotel. Free time to take a short rest to get
acclimatized to the altitude. In the afternoon, city
tour of Cuzco visiting the Main Square and Temple of the
Sun or Korikancha.
Then, drive out of the city to visit the Inca sites of
Kenko, Tambomachay, Puca Pucara and the impressive
fortress of Sacsayhuaman, built strategically on a hill
overlooking Cusco; famous for its enormous carved stones
joined with astounding precision to form the outer walls.
Some of these stones stand over 9m / 30ft tall, and
weight over 350 tons. Overnight at selected hotel in
Cusco.
Day 2: Cusco – Sacred Valley
Excursion to the "Sacred Valley of the Incas", a
succession of picturesque towns, agricultural terraces
and archaeological sites. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Sundays, we’ll have the opportunity to bargain with
vendors or stroll at the Pisac's typical Indian market,
with a catholic mass service on Sunday (celebrated in
Quechua, the native language).
Lunch at a local restaurant in the Sacred Valley. In the
afternoon pass through Calca and Urubamba towns to
arrive to the Inca Fortress and Citadel of Ollantaytambo,
which was built to guard the entry of this part of the
valley and protect it from enemies of the lower jungles;
consisting in a series of superimposed terraces of
carved stones accessed by long staircases.
We will have the opportunity to walk through the quaint
streets of the nearby town, religious and agricultural
centre during the Inca Empire, and get a clear idea of
the military strategy against possible invasions. On our
way back to Cusco we will visit the picturesque Andean
village of Chinchero where the remains of what was the
royal hacienda of Tupac Inca Yupanqui lies. Admire its
well preserved Inca Wall at the Main Square, visit the
beautiful colonial temple built on Inca foundations,
with interesting frescoes on the portico. Back to Cusco
in the afternoon. Overnight.
Day 3: Cusco – Lares’ Hot Baths – Huaca Wasi.
We’ll leave early in the morning by a private bus from
Cusco. During the transport we’ll pass a lot of
archeological remains, local handcraft-markets as well
as large tracks of cultivated lands inside the Sacred
Valley of the Incas. The Sacred Valley is one of the
most fertile places in South America with one of the
best products such as maize which is the first export-product
of this area. Halfway the Sacred Valley we’ll enter in
the province of Calca (2940m) where we’ll change roads
and ride up to the highest part of this trek called
Huacacasi (4400m). After this pass we’ll be going down
to the little populated Lares Valley (3250m). A few
moments later we’ll arrive at the hot medicinal springs
of Lares (3200m). Here we’ll have time to enjoy each
bath with different natural charms and temperatures
between 28 and 34 degrees Celsius. After lunch at the
hot baths we’ll start hiking until Huaca Wasi (3600m)
where we’ll camp for the night. Our transport-time will
be around 5 hours. Our trekking time will be about 3
hours in a rather cold climate. (L+D)
Day 4: Huaca Wasi – Abra Ipsay – Patacancha.
This will be the hardest day because of the altitude-level.
The pass we’ll have to cross is called Abra Ipsay and is
situated at 4400meters high. It will take us about 4
hours to hike up there at a gentle pace. While hiking
we’ll pass local communities that throughout the years
hold on to their ancestral way of living and Andean
traditions. They have a large knowledge of natural
agriculture and ancient ways of working textile so that
their colorful clothes are unique in the Lares-Valley.
After the pass we’ll continue our journey downwards
until our campsite next to the small village of
Patacancha (3650m).
Our trekking-time will be about 7 hours in a cold
climate. (B+L+D)
Day 5: Patacancha – Willoq – Pumamarca –
Ollantaytambo – Aguas Calientes
Another day of hiking where we’ll pass local communities
and small villages such as Willoq (3400m), Pumamarca
(3200m) and many others. From Patacancha through the
landscape, crossing these villages we can taste the
traditions and habits passed on by our ancestors
throughout the times of the Tahuatinsuyo Empire (the
Inca-culture and traditions). After a couple of hours
hiking and visiting the land we’ll arrive at
Ollantaytambo (2850m) that speaks from its archeological
sites, a wide story of Andean history and anthropology
of these times.From Ollantaytambo we’ll take the train
to Aguas Calientes (2050m), the touristical town build
beneath the ruins of Machu Picchu where we’ll spend the
night in a hotel. (B+L+D)
Day 6: Aguas Calientes - Machu Picchu - Cusco.
After an early rise and breakfast we’ll take the first
bus up to the archeological complex of Machu Picchu
(2400m). A few moments later we’ll enter this untouched
Inca-sanctuary to have a guided tour with a professional
guide. After this tour that will last for about two
hours you’ll have plenty of time to wonder around the
ruins by yourself…And for the bravest among us there is
always the ascension to Huayna Picchu or the nearby
Temple of the Moon. We’ll all meet afterwards to go down
to Aguas Calientes (2050m) where we’ll take our train
back to Cusco. (B).
