Fly from Lima to Cusco, the historical capital of the Inca Empire. Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel and acclimatize to the high altitude. In the afternoon, embark on a guided city tour of Cusco. Visit the Plaza de Armas, Qorikancha (Temple of the Sun), and the impressive Sacsayhuaman fortress, discovering the city’s rich Inca and colonial heritage.

Challenge yourself on the trek’s most demanding day. Wake early and ascend to the Salkantay Pass (4,750m), the highest point, with panoramic Andean views. Experience a Pachamama ceremony at the pass. Descend to Huayracmachay for lunch, then continue through changing landscapes to the cloud forest and Colpapampa campsite. Relax in natural hot springs and enjoy dinner under the stars.
