After arriving, soak in the medicinal hot springs and relax. Spend the night in a comfortable local accommodation near the thermal baths, and enjoy dinner with a view of the highland night sky.

🗓️ Day 2: Lares – Abra de Lares – Calca

Start your morning with an optional dip in the hot springs. Then we travel by van to the Abra de Lares, passing small highland communities dedicated to alpaca herding and potato farming.

From here, begin a stunning descent toward the Sacred Valley:

  • Bike Option: 30 km downhill ride to Calca through winding mountain roads.
  • Trek Option: Hike part of an ancient Inca trail connecting Abra Lares to Calca.
