This action-packed day trek departs from your Cusco hotel at 4:30 AM, traveling 136 kilometers through the Andes to reach Tinke and Pacchanta communities.

Along the way, observe native Andean wildlife including alpacas, llamas, vizcachas, and mountain birds in their natural habitat. Enjoy a traditional Andean lunch surrounded by glacial peaks. The trek culminates with a rejuvenating soak in the natural hot springs of Pacchanta, famous for their therapeutic properties. Return to Cusco by mid-afternoon, arriving around 3:30 PM.
