PICKUP
4:30AM
Yes- that is an early start time! We like to get to the trail head early so we can see the place without crowds for as long as possible.
RIDE
3 AND 1/2 HOURS
Settle in for a bit of a ride, but don’t plan to close your eyes! You won’t want to miss a bit of scenery as we wind our way through the Andes.
HIKE
4 HOURS
You’ll have some time to stretch your legs and lungs on this challenging hike. You’ll spend 3 of the 4 hours climbing straight uphill until we get to the overlook at 17000ft/5100m. There is a ton to see along the way though so you shouldn’t have any trouble plowing through.
RETURN
4 AND 1/2 HOURS
After this tough day, we’ll be sure to stop for lunch to replenish your fuel before we start the drive back to your hotel in Cusco.
