Triathalon to Machu Picchu 5 Days / 4 Nights

 

Day 1: (Rafting)


On the first day at 9 am, you will be transferred from your hotel to Pacha, a small pueblo near Ollantaytambo, where we should be arriving at about 11 am. After preparing ourselves with our equipment, our rafting guide will give us a 30 minute safety training lesson. We will 'ride the rapids' from Pachar all the way down river to Kachikata (just about 2 hours of exhilarating riding). When our rafting adventure has come to an end, we will move on to the lodges where we will spend the night in nearby Ollantaytambo, so that we can enjoy some tasty lunches. The rest of the afternoon will be yours to explore around the beautiful, little Andean community.

Day 2: (Biking)

Early, on the second morning (7am), we will take some time to visit the extensive ruins of Ollantaytambo for approximately 2 hours. Our guide will explain to us the rich history of the site, which was the last hold out of the Inkas in Cusco. After the tour of the ruins, our transport vehicle will transfer us from our hotel in Ollantaytambo to Habra Malaga, which stands at 4,316 meters, where we should arrive to around noon. We will take a few moments to prepare ourselves with our biking equipment before we begin our down hill journey towards Santa Maria. This exhilarating portion of the tour will last for about 4 hours and it will be an unforgettable experience.

On the route from Snow Mountain into the ever-thicker jungle environment, we'll see some stunning views. We will even take some time to search some archeological sites along the way, such as Inca Tambo and Huamanmarca. Our guide will enlighten us with information about the cultural significance of these ancient sites, before we continue moving on towards Santa Maria. There is some absolutely remarkable flora and fauna on the last stretch of this portion of the route! At 5:30 pm, we will arrive to our next accommodation for the night, where we will have some dinner and rest.

Day 3: (Trekking)

On Day 4, we will continue on our journey until arriving at the Hydroelectric Plant, even crossing over a cable bridge, called an Oroya, to get there. Once we arrive, we will find a nice spot to have our lunches before moving on towards Mandor Falls, where those who choose, are free to take a refreshing dip in the water. Be sure to have a camara here, because it is will be an experience you are not soon to forget, relaxing in the beautiful cascades with the sub tropical surroundings. The next stop will be the archaeological ruins at Intiwatana. This is where we will get our first views of the illustrious Inkan ruins, Machu Picchu.

Eventually, we will arrive to Aguas Calientes around 3 pm. We will find our way to our accommodations so that we can relax and explore around town the rest of the day. For those who wish (those who have the energy), you can go on the Putukusi Tril (rather short, but trying) to get a stellar view of Machu Picchu from its neighboring "Apu".

You will just need to return for dinner later on in the night.

DAY 5 : AGUAS CALIENTES MACHUPICCHU -CUSCO

This, the last day of the tour, will begin early in the morning (5:30 am) so that we can catch the first bus leaving Aguas Calientes for Machu Picchu. By doing it that way, we will be able to appreciate the beautiful sunrise from the ruins themselves and also we will be able to arrive early enough to be able to climb Wayna Picchu. They only allow 400 persons per day so we need to be sure to arrive early. When we come back down the hill to Machu Picchu, we will continue with our own guided tour of the immense, historical site. We will be able to stay here and appreciate the moment all the way until about 3:30 pm, when we will have to descend back down to Aguas Calientes in order to catch the return train at 4:20 pm. That train will take us as far back as Ollantaytambo, where will continue back to Cusco by means of a local bus. End of service.
