Day 1: Cusco – Abra Malaga – Santa Maria
On our first day of our Inca Jungle Trail we'll start by picking everyone from their hotels at around 7:00 in the morning and leaving Cusco for Abra Malaga at an altitude of 4350m. We'll start the Inca Jungle Trail from Abra Malaga on our bikes and go downhill for 3 to 4 hours, passing coffee plantations and fruit trees filled with oranges and mangos, with a changing climate as you descend. We'll end our ride in Huamanmarca and take transportation to Santa Maria at 1250m, about 15 minutes away. We'll have lunch in Santa Maria in a local restaurant. In the afternoon we'll take a ride to the Vilcanota River where we'll go rafting. This part is a lower level rafting experience so everyone will be able to do this, but definitely one of the most exciting parts of our Inca Jungle Trail. We'll return later in the afternoon for dinner at a local restaurant and stay overnight in a small local family lodging.
