Itinerary
Arrive Cusco at any time. There are no planned activities so check into the hotel and enjoy the city.

Meet the group at the welcome meeting, check for the start time on the welcome note at the hotel. Stay: Hotel de la Villa Hermoza

Stunning views and Inca ruins fill the days as you hike with views of the striking snow-capped mountains of Vilcabamba mountain range. Traverse high passes the highest point reaching 4,600m (15,092 ft) before descending into valleys nestled in the mountains. Spend the nights camping under the stars. Enjoy the spectacular mountain scenery and breathtaking views as the trek descends from the heights of the Andes to the lush subtropics surrounding Machu Picchu. (B/L/D)
