🗓️ Day 1: Ollantaytambo – Abra Málaga – Huamanmarca – Huancancalle
We begin from Ollantaytambo at 9:00 AM (or from Cusco/Sacred Valley with prior coordination). After ascending to Abra Málaga (4,350 m.a.s.l.), we provide all safety gear and start a thrilling 56 km downhill bike ride to Huamanmarca. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views and photo stops. Then, we continue by van for 3 hours to Vilcabamba-Huancacalle, where we spend the night in local lodging (Sixpaxmanco).
🗓️ Day 2: Yurac Rumi & Vitcos Archaeological Sites
After breakfast, we hike to Yurac Rumi, a sacred ceremonial stone, and continue to Vitcos, the ancient Inca city where Manco Inca resisted the Spanish for decades. These ruins are rarely visited, offering an authentic and powerful connection to Inca history.
🗓️ Day 3: Trek to Inka Tambo
This is a challenging but rewarding day. We drive to the trailhead and begin a 13 km round-trip hike (6–7 hours) to Inka Tambo, also known as Inka Wasi. This site impresses with its strategic mountaintop setting and perfectly preserved architecture along segments of the Inca Trail.
🗓️ Day 4: Huancancalle – Chaullay – Santa Teresa
Today we descend again by bike—56 km from Huancancalle to Chaullay (3–4 hours). From there, we continue by vehicle to Santa Teresa. Before dinner, soak in the C’cocalmayo hot springs, the perfect way to relax after several active days. Overnight at EcoQuechua Lodge, with dinner prepared by a local chef.
🗓️ Day 5: Santa Teresa – Ollantaytambo or Cusco
You can choose to return to Ollantaytambo (4 hrs) or Cusco (6 hrs). As an alternative, we can coordinate a visit to Moray, Maras, and the Salt Mines before concluding the tour.
