We will pick-up you up from your hotel at 5:00am and drive through the Sacred Valley for about one hour, until we arrive at the town of Calca (2,700m/8,858ft)(Sayhuapata/3,291m/10,000ft- trailhead). Here, you will have your first breakfast accompanied by amazing views of the Andes Mountains.
Next, you will begin your expedition. We will start hiking for about four hours, uphill, along a path with views of farming fields. As we ascend, you will feel the temperature change and start to see different crops and vegetation until we get to the lunch spot.
After lunch, we will continue hiking for another two hours, uphill, to our first campsite at a local Quechua village called Cancha Cancha (3750m/12,303ft). On arrival, you will have a traditional tea time, and then later, a fantastic dinner before going to sleep.

After an early breakfast, we will begin the most incredible and challenging day of your expedition. It will be a three or four hour climb to get to the summit of the Pachacute Mountain (4,680 m/15,354ft ) for absolutely stunning views.
After some rest, we will begin descending to the lunch spot near a beautiful lake. After lunch, we will keep moving for three hours until we get to the Lares campsite.
The scenery will be very different as you descend to the Lares Hot Springs.
At the hot springs, you will have the opportunity to enjoy any of the various pools that are composed of pure volcanic water, which is medicinal in nature and considered to be good for your bones, muscles, headaches, and for managing stress.
