Its clear waters, the nature that surrounds them and good rapids, makes this section of the river, our favorite for those adventure lovers looking for a safe experience combining adventure and nature in one amazing trip for the whole family.

Transfer from hotel to Km 82, where you will have breakfast. Start of the walk (2h) to the archaeological site of Llactapata (2.590mt/8.500ft), where you can see breathtaking scenery of flora, fauna, indigenous Inca traditions and archaeological sites that show the importance of this valley. After lunch, ascend slightly (2h) through a semi-tropical valley, to the camp in Huayllabamba (2.866mt/9.400ft) where you will have dinner and spend the night.

This day is considered the most exhausting, as it reaches the highest point of the journey, known as the Huarmi Huañusca pass (4.200mt/13.780ft). After breakfast, climb for approx. two hours, between lush vegetation with trees of wild origin (for this reason it is known as the world’s highest forest at 3.800mt/12.470ft). From there to the highest point, it is a typical Andean Mountain covered with ichu or straw. After an arduous trek of approx. 5 hours, reach the highest point, where you can see the majesty of the Andes, deep valleys and if weather conditions are favorable, the flight of the Condors. After the break, descend to the second camp: Pacaymayo (3.500mt/11.485ft). Overnight.

After breakfast, restart the walk of an hour and a half to reach the archaeological site of Runcuracay (3.780mt/12.400ft), interesting for its construction. After a 30-minute walk, descend to the archeological center of Sayacmarca, Phuyupatamarca and Huiñay Huayna. Most of the route of this day is an original Inca Trail, which is perfectly preserved. Pass through Inca tunnels, viewpoints, and jungle with abundant wildlife (especially with a variety of orchids and hummingbirds). Finally, reach the third camp on Phuyupatamarca (3,200mt/10.500ft). Overnight.

This morning from our camp near the ruins of Phuyupatamarca we have the opportunity to see one of the most spectacular sunrises in the Andes, and a 360° view of the surrounding mountain ranges, including solid and impressive Salkantay and Pumasillo. Afterwards we descend, almost 300 meters, to the ruins of Intipata, an ancient agriculture and experimental center, with a spectacular view over the valley of Urubamba. We continue to the most important archaeological site and impressive on the entire route: Huiñay Huayna and then by a road covered with tropical vegetation, to Intipunku (Sun Gate), where we will have the first fabulous view of Machu Picchu. Here begins the final descent to the Inca citadel where we arrive to a privileged hour, so that is not common to see many tourists. Finally, we will take a bus to the town of Aguas Calientes to board the train that will take us back to Cusco. Upon arrival, transfer to the hotel. Overnight.
