We're off to the Andes mountains today! We’ll take a short flight to Cusco in the morning, the historic capital of the Inca Empire.

Today you decide how you want to approach Machu Picchu! Whether you decide hike or relax in the town nearby, we all reconnect tomorrow to explore the citadel together.
Start from KM 104 on the Inca Trail and hike 7.5 miles (12 km) over 2 days through cloud forest and past stunning ruins. We’ll camp overnight with full support from our porters and guides. Lunch & Dinner is provided along the trail if you choose to hike!

This morning we all come together for the moment we’ve been waiting for, the epic world wonder of Machu Picchu.

Early wake-up today, but it’s worth it. We’ll head to Rainbow Mountain, a surreal, striped peak tucked deep in the Andes. The altitude makes the hike a bit challenge, but we will take our time up to the mountain and the views along the way are next-level. Expect many moments of awe along the way and of course lot of photos!
If you really not down for hiking, you could hire an ATV and drive a large portion of the hike reducing the hike to about 45 mins only - we will organize this closer to the trip
