This is the trip for the active who wants to join the speed and excitement in Peru. Here you have a bit of cycling, rafting and not least zip-lining, which is a bit of an adrenaline rush. You also walk through beautiful nature to reach Machu Picchu. Down to the jungle flat and high up on Lake Titicaca.

Today we´ll travel to Cusco by plane. You´ll be picked up from the hotel and driven to the airport from where there will be a short one hour flight to Cusco. Once in Cusco we´ll meet with a guide that will transport us to the Urubamba Valley. It will be a one hour and thirty minute drive there. We´ll stay overnight in the Urubamba Valley as it’s at a lower altitude than Cusco.

Today the main event is an excursion to the Urubamba Valley. First we will visit the town of Pisac. The town is known for its beautiful market where you will be able to buy every common peruvian keepsake like a wool sweater or a beautiful necklace. The beauty of this town lies in the details of the stone work. This town is built with smaller stones than you´ll find in Sacsayhuaman, but the precision used to carve out and place the rocks is unbelievable. Another feature of this town are the views you´ll experience while exploring. We will take a lunch break, and after it continues our trip to Ollantaymbo, another charming village in the centre of the valley. This village is a living historical site, the villagers have kept the traditional lifestyle of their forefathers. Exploring this village is like stepping into a live museum, here you´ll see original temples and inca forts. Overnight stay in Urubamba Valley.

Today we´ll start our journey to Machu Picchu. We´ll pass Ollantaytambo and start our hike towards Abra Malaga. We won´t be needing any sleeping bags as we will be sleeping in a hostel the first night. There will be a car following us so we don´t need to worry about carrying our luggage. We´ll start biking once we reach Abra Malaga, this will be a 50km long bike ride. We´ll arrive in a small village by the name of Santa Maria, here we´ll enjoy a well deserved lunch and continue on our adventure after. We´ll end this day with a two hour rafting session down the river. We´ll stay overnight in Santa Maria.

We´ll kick start this day with some adrenaline in the form of zip-lining in Santa Teresa! This zip-line is 1500meters long, which makes it one of the longest zip-lines in the world! This is a voluntary exercise, and for those that don´t wish to do the zip-line there will be a transport by car. After the zip-line, we´ll eat lunch and then continue on our hike for another 9km on flat terrain to Aguas Caliente, where we´ll stay overnight.
