The main transport will be waiting loaded with bicycles and safety equipment to begin the ascent to the mountain of Abra Malaga which is 1 hour away from Ollantaytambo. The Abra Malaga is located at 4350 meters above sea level and is the pass to the high jungle of Cusco. Arriving at the Abra Malaga pass we will provide you with all the safety equipment and after a safety talk (which is very important) we will start the descent to Huamanmarca, stopping at strategic points to take pictures, enjoy the views of the valley and rest. This descent is long and fun, full of entertainment from start to finish in a journey of approximately 56 km of downhill biking.

Day 2: Visit to Yurac Rumi and Vitcos – Vilcabamba village

After a good breakfast presented by our OAT team, we will start our hike towards the archaeological remains of Vilcabamba – Huancancalle, the last Inca resistance where Manco Inca managed to resist the invasion for 30 years. Here we will be able to appreciate the architectural quality in stone that the Incas developed and an extraordinary evidence is the ceremonial stone YURAC RUMI. Continuing with our exploration we will walk to VITCOS, where we will be able to appreciate the urbanization of the last Inca resistance that for years could consolidate in this place. Both places will leave you impressed and you will be glad to have made the decision to make this exploration that, for now, is little.

Day 3: Inka Tambo Trek

Undoubtedly this hike is a challenge and to get to know Inka Tambo, an important place in the Inca history is, for an adventurer, a unique experience. This day we will leave very early in our transportation to approach the access from where we will start the hike to Inka Tambo, which is located between the mountains. This hike has an approximate duration of 6 to 7 hours round trip, in a 13 km distance.

Once in Santa Maria we will change our mobility to continue the second part of the trip to Santa Teresa where we will spend the night in a beautiful Lodge (ECOQUECHUA LODGE), but before dinner we have the option to visit the hot springs of C’cocalmayo. We recommend it without a doubt, because after a long day pedaling and passing through different altitudes, it is a very good option to enter the hot springs and relax the body, then we will return to the Lodge where an exquisite dinner prepared with products of the area and the experienced chef, so we can go to rest well to recover energy for the next day.

In the morning we will have breakfast at the scheduled time and then we will go for another adventure, visiting the longest and most extensive Zipline in South America. This part of the tour is optional and is not included in the price, if you do not wish to take it, we offer a quieter option such as staying at the lodge and rest or stroll through the coffee plantations and spend a quiet morning. The Zipline tour usually lasts from 2 to 3 hours depending on the movement and number of passengers.

After having enjoyed a morning full of adrenaline or peace and relaxation we go for a delicious lunch in Hidroeléctrica at our favorite restaurant (Gabriel’s hut) to start the 2 to 3 hour hike from Hidroeléctrica to Machu Picchu Pueblo, which will allow us to be prepared and ready to climb Machu Picchu the next day.

If you feel you cannot do the hike there is an option to take the train from Hidroelectrica to Machu Picchu village, this train leaves only 2 times in the day, one in the morning very early 7:30am and in the afternoon at 2pm and 3pm, but it all depends on how you feel, generally everyone can do the hike because it is flat and smooth, the path goes along the Urubamba river and the train tracks overlooking the Machu Picchu mountain.
