Cuso Andes Trail 6 days

Upon arrival at Cusco Airport, our representative will warmly welcome you and provide a private transfer to your hotel in the beautiful Sacred Valley of the Incas. The scenic drive (approximately 1.5 hours) offers stunning views of snowcapped peaks, terraced hillsides, and traditional Andean villages along the way.

Once at your hotel, take the rest of the day to relax and acclimatize to the altitude in a lower, more comfortable setting than Cusco. Enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the valley and perhaps take a short walk through the surrounding town of Ollantaytambo, known for its cobblestone streets and Inca heritage.
