DAY 1 Cusco: Inca Jungle Amazon Trail – Santa Teresa

At 4.5 in the morning, we carry out the pick-up service from the respective hotels of the visitors and then immediately start the trip from Cusco to Santa María. Once we arrive in Santa María, we head towards the beginning of the magnificent Inca Trail of the Inca Jungle in the Amazon from Cusco.

We have two mountain passes in which we find an excellent intact Inca Trail. Our splendid walk is through the Amazon jungle behind Machu Picchu, where we will discover beautiful photographic spots with exuberant flora. Observe the coffee plantations, coca leaves, cocoa production, tangerines, orange trees, etc.

The walk takes 3 hours and 30 minutes to cover the entire Inca Trail of the Inca Jungle Trek that goes from Santa María to the vicinity of Santa Teresa. Our tourist vehicle awaits us at the end of our hiking adventure, transporting us to Santa Teresa towards our respective hotel.

HOW COULD WE MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO RELAX IN THE THERMAL BATHS OF COCALMAYO?

We go in the afternoon to splash and relax in the hot springs of Cocalmayo. The trip takes around 18 minutes. Many visitors mention that the thermal baths after the Inca Jungle Trek 3-Day Experience are the best because of the low presence of sulfur and the correct temperature. They have an incredible view of the area—the best of the best.

From the ruins of Llactapata, we have the first panoramic views of the enigmatic Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. All landscape and panoramic photos are welcome; the area deserves them.
