Full description
Day 1: Cusco, Humantay Lake, and Aguas Calientes Pickup will be between 4:30AM and 5:00AM from your Cusco accommodation. From there you will drive for 2 hours to Mollepata for breakfast, then 1 more hour to the starting point of Soraypampa. Once there you will begin your trek to the Humantay Lake, where after you have spent some time exploring, you will descend to Soraypampa before traveling onward to Mollepata. Once having arrived there you will enjoy a delicious lunch as cooked for your chef. Following lunch, continue by van for 3.5 hours to Ollantaytambo. In Ollantaytambo you will take the train to Aguas Calientes, where once you arrive your transfer will be waiting for you at the train station to take you to your hotel. You will later have free time to explore the town, before retiring for the evening. Day 2: Machu Picchu and Cusco You will wake up early in the morning to take the bus to Machu Picchu. Following an approximately 30-minute ride, you will reach the site's gates. Once you have arrived to Machu Picchu, you will meet with your tour guide to begin your tour.

Aside from feeing like I was on the brink of death from Vinicanca, it was so beautiful ! We found out night before our tour there was a fire near Humantay so they needed to reschedule us for a new activity. Sad and disheartening but they were keeping us safe. We ended up being the only people with our guide from Machu Picchu. Broli was so great, informative, supportive since I wasn’t well, and great to talk with to exchange conversation about our countries and love of travel. I was too I’ll for the food but heard it was great and the location was just gorgeous. The taxis, train tickets, and hotels were all very nice and was great to have the confidence in GYG to relax about those types of details. Thank you Broli! Gracias!
