Inca Jungle to Machupicchu Multi-sport Tour – Itinerary
3 Days / 2 Nights
Inca Jungle Day 1: Cusco – Abra Malaga - Santa Maria - BIKING and RAFTING
Early morning pick-up from your hotel or hostel. Once we leave Cusco we will be passing through the towns of Chinchero, Urubamba, and Ollantaytambo which are all part of the Sacred Valley. When we arrive at Abra Malaga (4316 m.), where we will begin
Inca Jungle our cycling adventure (down hill aprox 3 )hours we can appreciate the majestic snowcapped Huacay Willca (Veronica) Mountains. From the town we descend through different ecological zones including the high puna area - the tall knotty woods which include a wide variety of flora and fauna. A short break will be taken at the archaeological remains of Huaman Marq'a before reaching the town of Santa Maria (1200 m.) And where we meet for lunch in a local restaurant
A Short break will be followed by preparing for our white water rafting trip - we will be issued the latest safety equipment, and our internationally trained and experienced guides will give a comprehensive safety orientation prior to our departure on the river on our rafting trip, which will take place on the Urubamba river, one of the sources of the Amazon, we will experience many mellow class II rapids, but also a number of adrenaline packed class IV rapids. After finishing our river portion of the adventure, dinner will be served followed by an overnight in Santa Maria.
Inca Jungle Day 02: Santa Teresa - Llactapata - Hidroeléctrica - Aguas Calientes HIKING
After breakfast we will drive to Lucmabamba to begin our hike through the Inca Trail (Qapaqñan). We will be traveling on a much less populated route which was only rediscovered in 2003. Along the Inca Trail we will visit the archaeological remains of Llactapata, and enjoy the stunning landscape views of the majestic citadel of Machu Picchu, and the main sacred mountains of the Incas - Huaynapicchu, Putucusi and the snowcapped Salcantay.
After a box lunch as we rest along the trail, we will begin our descent towards the hydroelectric station where we will take the train bound for the town of Aguas Calientes - our overnight destination.
Inca Jungle Day 03: Aguas Calientes - Machu Picchu - Cusco
Early Wake-up, and after breakfast with we will catch the first bus to the citadel of Machu Picchu. An early visit to Machupicchu helps us to avoid the big crowds of tourists coming with the train from Cusco. We will have the chance to visit the different areas of this Inca city, including the astronomical observatories, military complex and urban areas. For many, a Machupicchu highlight is an optional climb to the mountain of Huaynapicchu (the mountain that overlooks Machupicchu), and we have time to do this during our tour of this famous city. Finally, we return by train to the town of Ollantaytambo, and then take a bus to return to Cusco.
