After breakfast in Ollantaytambo, our Private transport will take us to a higher altitude until we reach the Malaga High Pass at 4,325 m. or 14,000 Ft. We will go a little further and then the guide will give you some instructions about the path, the bikes and use of the equipment.
We will bike down more than 1000 metres over an 80 km trail similar to the one in Coroico (Bolivia). Starting in the highland we will reach the jungle by the end of the day. On the way we stop to have our box lunch close to an Inka site called Wamanmarka. This place will be a nice introduction to Machu Picchu.
During the way you will see how the landscape changes quickly until you get to the jungle close to the little town of Santa Maria were we have our second overnight in a hostal . (B, L, D).
Day 03: Santa Maria - Santa Rosa - Inka Jungle Trail - Cocalmayo Hot Springs -Santa Teresa:
A full day trekking starts after breakfast leading to Santa Rosa town.
After this town we will get into the jungle by taking an ancient Inca trail (Q apaqñan) that has been almost forgotten. Walking here will make you feel like an explorer. Part of this trail is very narrow. All the way we will be in beautiful jungle and with some luck we will see parrots and monkeys. There are nice landscapes to photograph with different kinds of plants and eventually we will encounter the local people.
After lunch we can enjoy the hot springs of Cocalmayo on the way to Santa Teresa. When we reach Santa Teresa we stay there the third night in another hostal with hot water and private bathroom. There will be time to relax while we wait for dinner. (B, L, D).
Day 04: Santa Teresa - Lucmabamba - Inka Jungle trail - Llactapata - Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu town):
After a delicious breakfast we continue our trekking going to Aguas Calientes. Driving the first part, close to Lucmabamba, we start our trek on another Inka Trail (Qapaqñan) that has the beauty of being not too long discovered (it has been just discovered in 2003). Taking this jungle trail we will visit the archaeological remains of Llactapata and from there we will be able to see the majestic citadel of Machu Picchu from behind, the main sacred mountains af Huaynapicchu, Putucusi and the snow-capped mountain Salkantay.
After our box lunch we will begin our descent towards the hydroelectric station where we will take the train bound for the town of Aguas Calientes.
