- The adventure begins with a 5:00 a.m. pick-up from your hotel in Cusco. We’ll journey towards the Sacred Valley, passing through Ollantaytambo and ascending the scenic Abra Málaga pass. At the starting point of the Capac Ñan (Inca trail), we’ll begin a breathtaking descent through Polylepis forests, spotting orchids, local wildlife like the Royal Cinclodes bird, and even Andean bears if we’re lucky.
