Adventure Tour Package Itinerary Package PC036 : Lares Trek & Machupicchu 04 days / 03 night
Day 1 : Cusco - Kirshuarani - Cuncani
After pausing to admire our surroundings in the early morning mist, we
will proceed around Sondor Mountain to a high pass (an altitude of
4440m), from which we will have great photo opportunities: scenic
Huacahuasi Lake and snow-capped Veronica Mountain (amongst others!) are
visible from the path. After a good morning’s hike, we stop for a quick
rest in a living Inca settlement, where many still farm the traditional
crop of potatoes in the same way that their ancestors did. We resume our
hike upstream to the second pass, Ipsayqocha (4550m), where we will
celebrate by making an offering of coca leaves to the Andean Gods. We
descend to our campsite near Lake Ipsayqocha for the night.
Today we will have photo opportunities: our gentle path is covered in Andean flora, and animals such as llamas and alpacas are fairly commonplace. If we’re lucky, we might even catch a glimpse of Andean geese, puna ibis, Andean cara caras or condor. We will feel welcomed by the warm Quechua people, whose homeland we have the rare opportunity to see firsthand. The traditional dress and lifestyle of these people is both fascinating and enticing to outsiders. Our descent takes us through the spectacular valley of Patacancha, where everything remains as it has since ancient times. After our five-hour hike, we reach the town of Patacancha, where we eat lunch and wait for our private bus to take us to Ollantaytambo, we catch the train for an incredibly scenic ride to Agua Calientes, where we will spend the night in a hotel.
Day 4 : Machu Picchu - Cusco
An early start this morning assures us the opportunity to see the breathtaking sight of Machu Picchu. We will have a guided tour of this fascinating place, and even the opportunity to climb Wayna Picchu, providing the chance to see Machu Picchu and the surroundings from a more exclusive vantage point. After a full day of exploring, we head back to Cuzco via train for the evening End of services. Prices per person (in American dollars):
