Very early in the morning, we will depart the city of Cusco in a private bus. We will traverse the beautiful valleys of the Andes and the picturesque countryside communities. We will visit interesting places like the Chullpas of Ninamarca (a pre-Inca cemetery) and Paucartambo, a traditional colonial town, where we will visit a museum to learn about the culture there. We will eat lunch along the route in the cloud forest. Then, we will continue our descent through the cloud forest, a region rich in endemic species, such as the spectacles bear and the cock of the rock (the Peruvian national bird). Along the way, we will also see interesting plant species, such as orchids, bromelias, ferns, etc. In the afternoon, we will arrive in Pilcopata, where we will spend the night in our lodge.
