The route from Cusco to Hidroeléctrica is much more than just a journey to Machu Picchu; it is an experience in itself that immerses you in the stunning landscapes and Andean culture. Along the way, you will pass through the Abra Málaga, a mountain pass that offers you spectacular views of the snow-capped peaks and deep valleys of the Andes. From the height of more than 4,300 meters, you will feel as if you are touching the sky.
The journey continues through the towns of Santa María and Santa Teresa, where you will be able to observe the contrast between the high mountains and the jungle vegetation, a fascinating change that occurs as you descend in altitude. These Andean and rural communities are full of life and color, and will give you an authentic idea of what life is like in the Andes.
Finally, you will arrive at the Hidroeléctrica station, the starting point for the 2 and a half hour hike to Aguas Calientes. This trail will allow you to get closer to Machu Picchu in a more personal and connected way with nature. Each step will take you closer to one of the wonders of the modern world, and upon arrival, the reward will be even more rewarding.
