DAY 1: CUSCO
- HUAROCONDO - SOCMA - PEROLNIYOC
We will pick you up at your hotel and then travel by private bus
to the community of Huarocondo, where we will visit the village's
beautiful colonial church. Then, we will descend to the community
of Socma, where we will start our trek up to the archaeological
site of Perolniyoc. Perolniyoc is located above a waterfall, and
from there we will trek up to the small community of the same name,
and make camp for the night.
DAY 2: PEROLNIYOC
INCA CANAL
In the morning we will climb up to the first pass at 4,500 meters/14,764
feet above sea level. From that point, we will descend again to
the Mama Cona lagoon. We will hike through another beautiful mountain
pass where there is an ancient Incan canal that still transports
water to the Cachicata quarry. The canal is 17 km/10.5 miles long
and is considered one of the most important engineering achievements
in the region. We will also be able to admire the Urubamba and Vilcabamba
mountain ranges. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
DAY 3: INCA CANYON
- CACHICATA
We start our trek for the day by following a little creek, which
will take us to the Inca Canyon. Next, we will hike to the Intiwatana
archaeological complex where an altar was built facing Veronica
mountain. From that point, we will enjoy a spectacular view of the
Sacred Valley and the Urubamba River.
Continuing our trek, we will make our
way to the Inca quarry of Cachicata. There, we can see how the Incas
cut and transported the huge stones that were used to build the
archaeological complex of Ollantaytambo. Descending into the Sacred
Valley, we will admire the Inca cemetery and what was once the town
for the Incan quarry workers. We will make camp for the night in
the town of Cachicata. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included
DAY 4: OLLANTAYTAMBO
- MACHU PICCHU - CUSCO
Early in the morning, we will go to the Ollantaytambo station and

of the majestic Machu Picchu mountain. From Aguas Calientes, we
take a bus up to the sanctuary-city of Machu Picchu and enjoy a
professional-guided tour. In the afternoon, we will take the bus
back down to Aguas Calientes and board our train back to Cusco.
