DAY 2: SANTA MARIA TO SANTA TERESA: TREKKING

After breakfast, we’ll begin a trek to Santa Teresa, following the Urubamba River. Explore sections of the Inca Trail that once connected Machu Picchu with Vilcabamba, while your guide shares fascinating stories about the Incas and their advanced road system.

Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views of the Huancarccasa Canyon and the Salkantay peak, as well as the rich local flora, fauna, and agricultural landscapes.

At Quellomayo, take a break for lunch and relax in hammocks at the restaurant. Afterwards, continue to the Cocalmayo hot springs, where you can soak in crystal-clear waters surrounded by nature.
