 We're off to the Andes mountains today! We’ll take a short flight to Cusco in the morning, the historic capital of the Inca Empire. After checking in, we’ll spend the day at a relaxed pace to acclimate to the altitude. Stroll through cobblestone streets, shop artisan markets, and sip coca tea in the heart of the Andes.
Included: Breakfast, Flight to Cusco, Airport Transfer

Today you decide how you want to approach Machu Picchu! Whether you decide hike or relax in the town nearby, we all reconnect tomorrow to explore the citadel together.

Start from KM 104 on the Inca Trail and hike 7.5 miles (12 km) over 2 days through cloud forest and past stunning ruins. We’ll camp overnight with full support from our porters and guides. Lunch & Dinner is provided along the trail if you choose to hike!

Includes: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Trail permit, camping gear, guides, porters, and all transport.

Option 2: Chill in Aguas Calientes (included)

Included: Breakfast, Transportation
Overnight: Trail Camp (for hikers) or Hotel in Aguas Calientes (for non-hikers)

 This morning we all come together for the moment we’ve been waiting for, the epic world wonder of Machu Picchu.

Afterward, we’ll all regroup in Aguas Calientes for lunch, then head back to Cusco in the afternoon.

Overnight: Cusco 

 Early wake-up today, but it’s worth it. We’ll head to Rainbow Mountain, a surreal, striped peak tucked deep in the Andes. The altitude makes the hike a bit challenge, but we will take our time up to the mountain and the views along the way are next-level. Expect many moments of awe along the way  and of course lot of photos!
If you really not down for hiking, you could hire an ATV and drive a large portion of the hike reducing the hike to about 45 mins only - we will organize this closer to the trip

Included: Breakfast, Transportation, Entry Fee for Rainbow Mountain

Overnight: Lima

 We’ll transfer you to the airport for your flight home or help you plan your next stop if you’re staying longer. Either way, you’re leaving with memories, photos, and a new travel crew for life.
