ITINERARY

We will begin this incredible trip with departure scheduled for 7:30 am, on our vehicular transportation from Regocijo Square. On the route we will pass through the Ollantaytambo village, and after 2 hours and 30 minutes of riding on a paved road, we will arrive at the Malaga Pass (4,330 meters above sea level) – the highest point on the route -, a place for our first stop to take great photos. Then, continuing on our transportation for 2 hours and 30 more minutes, we will arrive at the village of Santa Teresa at around 1:00 pm, to have our lunch. After, on the transportation and for 15 more minutes we will arrive at the amazing Cocalmayo Thermal Baths; there you will enjoy the thermo-medicinal waters for about 2 hours. This place is located in the middle of a beautiful subtropical jungle landscape and consists of 3 large pools, with crystal clear, transparent waters coming from the underground; water temperature varies between 38° and 45° degrees Celsius.

The complex has changing rooms for men and women, showers and swimwear rental stations. These medicinal waters are attributed healing properties for skin problems, rheumatism or joint pain, being at the same time a natural source of hydro massage and relaxation. If you want to cool the body, you can go the icy waterfalls from the Uripata lagoon, located next to the hot pools. After enjoying this place, we will get back to our transportation and ride along a road for 50 minutes to arrive at the campsite at 5:30 pm. Upon arrival, you will enter into your private shelters, and at night we will have a delicious dinner. Then, surrounded by nature and mountains, you will have the option to gather around a campfire and admire an incredible starry sky, and at the end of this great day sleep in the quite comfortable shelter.

This second day will be full of emotions! After a good breakfast we will leave the lodge, to explore and enjoy the surroundings, so we will be able to see local plantations such as: avocados, oranges, lemons, passion fruit, among others. These plantations are the livelihood of the local population, especially coffee plantations for export, making it the main agricultural industry in the area. There we will visit a small local farm, to do the Experiential Coffee Tour; you will harvest, peel, grind and roast your own coffee and then savor it freshly brewed, with that exquisite aroma of a freshly roasted and ground drink. You will greatly enjoy this experience! Then we will walk for about 15 minutes to the adventure zone; upon arrival there is an instructional talk by a member of the staff, who will share all the information required to do the Zipline. This will give you perspective on the experience you are about to have.

So, you will start with the zipline over the canyon (here we have 4 cables, which make a total of 1,200 meters/3,900 feet along which you will fly). The longest one is about 400 meters high above the Salkantay River! You will also walk across the canyon on a challenging Extreme Bridge. The entire adventure circuit lasts 1 hour and a half; the departure and arrival points are platforms on the ground and some aerial platforms installed on the mountain. The maximum sliding speed along the cables is 60 km/h or 37 miles/h. After enjoying this great experience we will return to the Lodge. When arriving there at our Eco-Lodge, take the opportunity to relax and enjoy the facilities: you can rest on the hammocks, listen to the music in the lobby, enjoy a drink in the bar, and of course savor our lunch, at around 2:00 pm. We then return on our transportation to Cusco City. The estimated time of arrival is 9:00 pm.
