Once you have received your safety briefing and biking equipment, you will begin the downhill mountain biking experience from the Abra Malaga Pass at 4,316 m / 14,160 ft.

The adrenaline packed ride covering 60km, will treat you to views of the snow-capped peak of Veronica, and the cloud forests that blanket the Sacred Valley. As you descend down the trail, the surrounding egology will start to change, as you leave behind the treeless highlands of the glacial mountains and journey down into lush, green vegetated forests.

After a 3-hour ride, past the Huaman Marq’a archaeological site, you’ll arrive in the town of Santa María at 1,250 m / 4,691 ft. Here you’ll eat lunch and prepare for the next activity.

The Vilcanota River runs through the town of Santa María. Its gushing waters and level II, III, IV rapids, provide the perfect conditions for the afternoons’ river rafting experience. First, you will be provided with a safety briefing and all the necessary equipment you will need for the activity, including windbreakers, vests and helmets. Then, you will venture into the water for a 90 minute thrill ride down-stream, amidst the backdrop of the Amazon jungle.

Once you have completed the rafting, you will have dinner and settle in for the night in a hostel in Santa María.

Day 2 will begin with breakfast in your hostel in Santa Maria.

You will then be collected in your private transport, to be driven 40 minutes to the zipline base in Santa Teresa. Here, you will be given a brief safety orientation, before embarking on a 2-hour adventure through the jungle, across four different ziplines and a suspension bridge.

Once you’ve completed the activity, you’ll begin the 2-hour hike to Hidroelectrica alongside glistening waterfalls and through tropical fruit plantations. Upon arrival in Hidroelectrica, you will take lunch in a local restaurant, before gearing up for the final stretch of the trail to Aguas Calientes.

For the next 3-hours, you’ll walk alongside the Vilcanota River, following the railway line that runs from Hidroelectrica to Aguas Calientes, arriving in Machu Picchu Town around 5pm.

After checking into your hostel, you’ll regroup with your guide for dinner in a local restaurant and rest up for the night ready for the day ahead.

*If you wish to relax in the hot springs, they are only a 10 minute walk from the town center and are open for visitors until 8pm. Entrance fee is 10 soles (optional extra cost).*

Day 3 will begin with breakfast in your hostel in Aguas Calientes.

At 6:30am your guide will escort you the bus station where you will board the tourist bus to Machu Picchu. The scenic route from Aguas Calientes takes you on a 30 minute bus ride up the mountainside to the entrance of the Inca citadel. Once inside, you will be taken on a 2-hour tour of Machu Picchu where you will make your way through the Inca city with your personal guide. Aswell as visting the famous sites of the temple of the sun, the central plaza and the stepped terraces, you will have plenty opportunity to take the bucket list photos you came for atop the panoramic viewpoint of Machu Picchu. Before boarding the bus back down the mountain, your guide will also allow you time to explore the mysteries of the sanctuary alone.

Once you have regrouped with your guide and taken the bus back to Aguas Calientes, there will be time to take lunch in one of Machu Picchu towns’ many restaurants (optional extra), before boarding the train back to Ollantaytambo. There you’ll be greeted by your guide and private transportation who will take you on the 2-hour drive back to your hotel in Cusco. Arrival time in Cusco is approximatley 6.30pm.
