We will wake up in the middle of the jungle today with beautiful sounds of birds, enjoy a cup of fresh homemade coffee. It’s then a 4-hour hike using an amazing original Inca trail that connected Machu Picchu with Vilcabamba “The Last Capital of the Incas”. Along the way you will find avocados, maniocs, oranges, mangoes, cacao, coffee and coca plantations. Arriving to Quellomayu for lunch. Later will be another 4-hour walk upstream along the Urubamba River to the thermo-medicinal springs of Cocalmayu (pure volcanic water) good for bones, stress, muscles and headaches. After soaking our bodies in the pools. We take a bus to Santa Teresa where we spend the night in a local hotel.
